Welcome, ambitious entrepreneur! If you’re considering establishing a Dutch Private Limited Company (BV - Besloten Vennootschap) for your business expansion, asset protection, or as part of a tax-efficient structure, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will walk you through the process, highlighting how House of Companies can streamline your journey and save you both time and money. Let’s dive in!
1. Initiating Your BV: The Order Form
The first step is submitting an order form to House of Companies. This crucial step sets the foundation for your new venture:
Outline your BV’s business activities and objectives
Provide details about the shareholders and directors
Describe your company’s planned operations in the Netherlands
Pro tip: Be as specific and clear as possible. The more information you provide, the smoother the process will be.
2. The Onboarding Process: Getting to Know You
Once we receive your order, we’ll begin the onboarding process. We’ll need some essential documents:
Recent proof of address for shareholders and directors (utility bill or bank statement from the last 3 months)
Passport copies for all shareholders and directors
A concise business plan or description of your BV’s activities
Remember, clear and legible documents help expedite the process.
3. Crafting Your BV’s Identity: Document Preparation
This is where your BV starts to take shape. We’ll prepare key documents including:
Your BV’s official name and registered address
Articles of Association (Statuten)
Shareholder register
Initial board resolutions
We handle the legal formalities, to ensure no mistakes are made, and the process is cheap and prompt.
4. Making It Official: Notarization
Next, we’ll work with a Dutch notary to officially notarize your BV’s documents. This critical step gives your company legal standing under Dutch law.
5. Entering the Business Landscape: KvK Registration
With notarized documents in hand, we’ll register your BV with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK). This process includes:
Filing your BV’s details
Receiving a unique KvK number
Being added to the Dutch Trade Register
6. Establishing a Local Presence: Dutch Address
Every Dutch BV needs a registered address in the Netherlands. We offer two options:
Physical office space (ideal for companies with on-site operations)
Virtual office service (included in our annual subscription - perfect for most BVs)
