◆ Country spoke · the Netherlands

Set up a company in the Netherlands and keep it compliant from one partner.

The Netherlands is a favoured European gateway — strong infrastructure, an English-fluent workforce and a long history as a holding-company jurisdiction. The standard vehicle, the BV (private limited company), is flexible and respected. What trips up newcomers is the rhythm of Dutch filing and the detail of local payroll. We set the BV up and carry that recurring load for you.
