What is Netherlands Company Formation?
Netherlands Company Formation is the process of setting up a Dutch Besloten Vennootschap (B.V.), a private limited liability company. It involves engaging a civil-law notary to draft and execute a deed of incorporation, and then registering the company with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK). This creates a legal entity that can operate throughout the EU.
Who needs this service?
This service is ideal for international businesses and entrepreneurs who want a strategic gateway to the European Union. It's perfect for tech startups wanting to attract EU talent, trading companies leveraging Dutch logistics, and holding companies benefiting from the favorable Dutch tax treaty network.
What is the cost range?
Costs include a one-time notary fee for incorporation (typically €250-€500), a KVK registration fee (around €50), and professional service fees. The main annual costs are for a mandatory registered office address and filing annual accounts with the KVK.
DIY vs. Outsourcing to YourLegal?
DIY formation is not possible in the Netherlands as the process legally requires the involvement of a Dutch civil-law notary. Outsourcing to a service like YourLegal is the standard procedure. We work with our notary partners to manage the entire process for you remotely, including drafting documents and handling all registrations.
Decision Summary:
Because a notary is legally required for incorporation, a professional service is essential for setting up a Dutch B.V. YourLegal streamlines this mandatory process, providing the necessary local coordination and expertise to establish your European entity quickly and efficiently.
