Company incorporation

Your BV set up correctly from day one, with every registration that comes with it.

Start your company on solid ground

Starting a business in the Netherlands is more than a trip to the notary. The right structure, the KVK registration, VAT and payroll registrations, your own tax position as founder: get these right at the start and you’ll never have to untangle them later. We guide the whole journey.

What this includes

BV incorporation guidance, holding structure setup, KVK registration, VAT and payroll registrations, employer registration, and tax advice for you as director and shareholder.

What to expect

A structure that fits your plans instead of someone else’s template, every registration done in the right order, and a company that’s ready to operate from day one.

Our process

From idea to registered and running

1.We talk

It starts with a call. You tell us your plans, we tell you what structure fits them. Honest advice, before anything is set in stone.

2.We propose

You get a clear overview of steps, timeline and costs, in a proposal you can read in one sitting.

3. We shake hands

Contract signed, deal sealed. From this moment it’s off your plate.

4. We set you up

We coordinate the notary, handle the registrations and get your administration ready. You start your company; the paperwork is already done.

Could you be eligible for the 30% ruling?

Pay up to 30% of your salary tax-free. We check eligibility and handle the application, whether you’re the employee or the employer offering it.

What clients say about us

Real feedback from the companies and teams we work with every day. 

“We have been working with DutchTaxAdvice for almost 5 years. They have helped us register companies, manage taxes, handle employment contracts and essentially manage everything we needed to keep the company functioning so we could focus on our product instead of accounting or tax management. They are true experts and always happy to advice best options in concrete situations.”

Leven Vision B.V.

“DutchTaxAdvice has proven to be the partner we had been hoping to find, and their support began long before we were even incorporated. They walked us through incorporation, submitting amendments to the KVK, and helped our employees apply for the 30% ruling. They’re responsive, friendly, and quick to help translate Dutch tax requirements whenever needed.”

Rogue Agency B.V.
“I’ve been working with Dutchtaxadvice for years. My business has several sides, from one-on-one clients to group workshops and several events organised, so it can get complex fast. They make even the complicated parts easy, and I always know exactly what I need to do to stay compliant, pay my taxes on time, and know where I stand financially.”
