Start your Dutch company

Set your company up right from the very start with our custom made legal contracts. From a Dutch employment contract or management agreements to a NDA or a sales contract, we will make sure you have everything on paper. Which documents you need depend on the legal structure you have chosen.

A few examples:

• Management agreement: In a holding structure, the holding company will usually perform 'management' tasks in the operating company. In practice this means that the holding will send invoices for this work to the operating company. This relationship is laid down in a so-called management agreement.
• Employment contract. In case you or anyone else will be employed by one of the Dutch entities, you should have a Dutch employment contract.
• Current-account agreement. It is standard practice to have this in place if you channel money from one entity to the other or from you personally to one of the entities. For example when the company needs a bridge loan and you provide this from your personal account.  But also when you have a personal bill paid by the BV. You do this with a current account agreement.
• Terms & conditions. This are the 'small letters' that should always be in place and applied to all the deals with your customers.

With compliance we mean making sure that your business is doing everything according to Dutch and European rules. An example are the GDPR privacy regulations that most companies in the Netherlands are dealing with in one way or another. There are also many industry-specific rules and regulations that might apply to your business.

Keep an orderly administration, submit your tax returns in time and draft your Dutch company's annual accounts. All companies need to do their administration and taxes, no way around that. We can help you with all your administration needs through our partnerships with tax firms.
