Your Dutch BV, formed remotely.
Built for non-EU founders.
An independent Dutch civil-law notary drafts and executes your deed of incorporation; we coordinate everything else, from intake to your KVK registration. It's built for founders and companies in the UK, China, Hong Kong and Turkey, especially e-commerce sellers and importers expanding into the EU. Packages start at €1,295 ex VAT, with the notary's fees and the KVK registration fee already included.
What's included.
One point of contact for the parts around the notary's work, coordinated from intake to your KVK registration.
The notary's deed & AoA
Drafted and executed by an independent Dutch civil-law notary. We coordinate everything around it, from intake to filing.
KVK registration & UBO filing
Your BV is registered with the KVK and its UBO details are filed by the notary at incorporation. The government registration fee is included.
Our due diligence & documents
Intake, a company-name check, our own client due diligence, and your documents collected in the notary's format, translated where needed.
QES signing, no travel
You sign the power of attorney with a qualified electronic signature, then join a short video call with the notary.
VAT registration support
We assess your proposed business activity before incorporation and give you an honest view of how VAT registration looks. Included in every package.
Your client portal
Track incorporation, keep documents in one secure place, and follow the status of your VAT and Article 23 applications.
Who does what.
We're an incorporation coordinator, not the notary. Three parties, three jobs.
The notary
Runs its own due diligence, drafts the deed and power of attorney, holds a video call to explain it, then executes the deed and registers your BV with the KVK.
BVform
Coordinates everything else: intake, our own checks, your documents and translations, the QES signing flow, and your VAT (and optional Article 23) support.
You
Provide accurate information, arrange your Dutch business address before we begin, obtain a QES, and join the video call with the notary to sign.
Three stages (best case shown). No travel to the Netherlands.
Apply and upload
Submit your details and documents online. We run our own due diligence and the company-name check.
We and the notary check and draft
The notary runs its own due diligence and drafts the deed, articles and power of attorney, while you obtain a QES.
Sign, execute, register
You sign the power of attorney by QES on a video call with the notary. The notary then executes the deed and registers your BV with the KVK.
Best case, about six working days. Typically 2–3 weeks, including collecting your documents and arranging translations. All timelines are estimates, not guarantees.
Defer import VAT to your VAT return.
If you import goods from outside the EU, an Article 23 licence lets you declare import VAT on your periodic VAT return instead of paying it at the border. That's the Article 23 import VAT deferral: the VAT itself isn't reduced, just deferred, so it doesn't sit in your working capital between paying at the border and reclaiming it on your return.
It's applied for as soon as your VAT number and turnover-tax number are issued. We prepare the application and evidence pack, and you sign it as the entrepreneur. The Belastingdienst decides within eight weeks; approval isn't guaranteed.
A few honest things, before you apply.
So there are no surprises once you've started.
Your Dutch business address
Your BV needs a Dutch business address. We'd love to handle this for you, but Dutch law doesn't allow the firm that helps with your VAT and Article 23 applications to also be involved in your business address. So you arrange it yourself before we begin; it isn't part of our service.
Tax residence
A BV incorporated under Dutch law is treated as resident in the Netherlands for Dutch corporate income tax, because of its incorporation. But if it's effectively managed from another country, that country may also treat it as resident, which can mean double taxation. Get tax advice on your own situation.
Your VAT number
Your VAT number isn't guaranteed. The Belastingdienst may ask questions, take longer, or decline where there's no evidence of real business activity.

The questions founders actually ask.
Founders and companies incorporating a Dutch BV from outside the EU, particularly e-commerce sellers and importers in the UK, China, Hong Kong and Turkey. We don't currently serve EU residents.
The notary's deed of incorporation and articles of association, the KVK registration and UBO filing, our own due diligence and document collection, translation of your standard documents, the QES signing flow, VAT registration support and your client portal. Notary fees and the KVK registration fee are included in the package price (we pay the notary directly). Prices are shown ex VAT.
In the best case, about six working days from a complete application (a UK solo founder, individual shareholder, documents already in English). Typically, allow 2–3 weeks, including collecting your documents and arranging translations. All timelines are estimates, not guarantees.
No. Your BV needs a Dutch business address. We'd love to handle this for you, but Dutch law doesn't allow the firm that helps with your VAT and Article 23 applications to also be involved in your business address. So you arrange it yourself before we begin; it isn't part of our service.
No. Your VAT number isn't guaranteed; the Belastingdienst may ask questions, take longer, or decline where there's no evidence of real business activity.
If you import goods from outside the EU, our Article 23 add-on (€995 ex VAT, with any package) helps you defer import VAT to your VAT return instead of paying it at the border. You'll need evidence of regular importing from outside the EU, such as supplier orders or purchase invoices. It's applied for as soon as your VAT number is issued, includes EORI application help, and the Belastingdienst decides within eight weeks. Approval isn't guaranteed.
