Wangsulan cekak: pengacara sing sampeyan karepake kanggo entri Walanda dudu sing bisa nggabungake BV kanthi cepet — penggabungan minangka formalitas notaris sing butuh pirang-pirang dina. Iku sing takon kanggo apa entitas kasebut sadurunge mbentuk, ngandhani kanthi jujur apa sampeyan butuh BV, lan bisa ndeleng akibat kerja, imigrasi, lan kontrak sing bakal kedadeyan saka struktur sing sampeyan pilih.
Kesalahan sing ditindakake dening umume pendiri asing
Nggawe perusahaan Walanda iku gampang lan murah. Kuwi masalahé: formasi wis rampung sadurungé ana sing takon sapa sing bakal nandatangani, ing ngendi wong-wongé bakal lungguh, kepriyé saham para pendiri diwènèhaké, lan apa wong Walanda sing pertama direkrut iku karyawan utawa kontraktor. Meh saben masalah Walanda sing larang sing kita deleng ing rong taun iki digawe, kanthi murah, ing minggu pertama.
BV, branch, or nothing yet?
Besloten vennootschap (BV) iku perusahaan swasta winates standar Walanda. Iki minangka badan hukum sing kapisah, pemegang saham ing prinsip ora tanggung jawab ngluwihi kontribusine, lan modal saham minimal siji eurosen. Perusahaan iki didegaké déning notaris hukum sipil Walanda kanthi akta notaris lan banjur didaftaraké ing Kamar Dagang (KvK).
Cabang saka perusahaan manca sampeyan sing wis ana dudu badan hukum sing kapisah: perusahaan induk sing tanggung jawab, lan cabang kasebut kadhaptar ing KvK tanpa notaris. Iki bisa dadi jawaban sing tepat kanggo kantor perwakilan utawa kehadiran penjualan pertama, lan dadi salah nalika sampeyan njupuk risiko lokal utawa staf lokal.
Lan kadhangkala jawabane durung mesthi loro-lorone. Yen sampeyan lagi nguji pasar liwat distributor utawa agen, perjanjian sing disusun kanthi apik bisa ditindakake tanpa entitas babar pisan — sanajan hukum agensi Walanda lan Eropa menehi hak agen komersial babagan pemutusan sing kudu dingerteni sadurunge sampeyan nandatangani.
What does incorporation involve in practice?
The notary needs identification of the founders and ultimate beneficial owners, the articles of association, and the details of the first directors. Non-resident founders can usually incorporate by power of attorney without travelling. After incorporation, the company is registered with the KvK, and its ultimate beneficial owners must be registered in the UBO register. Since the 2025 law restricting access to the UBO registers, that register is no longer open to the public: access is limited to competent authorities, institutions carrying out client due diligence, parties who can demonstrate a legitimate interest, and the registered persons themselves.
Six things to look for in an adviser
1. Dheweke takon apa gunane entitas kasebut
Struktur induk, perusahaan operasi, juragan tim Walanda, pihak kontrak kanggo pelanggan EU — iki ndadékaké jawaban sing béda-béda. Penasihat sing ngutip kanggo "BV" tanpa takon padha karo ngutip kanggo formulir, dudu kanggo saran.
2. They are clear about what a notary does, and does not do
Notaris hukum perdata nglakokake akta lan kaiket karo tugas sing ora memihak. Notaris dudu penasihat sampeyan babagan perjanjian pemegang saham, vesting, utawa kontrak kerja. Ngerteni manawa pambagian kerja ngirit para pendiri saka nganggep manawa penggabungan sing wis rampung tegese struktur kasebut wis ditinjau.
3. Dheweke ngurusi pegaweyan lan imigrasi, utawa ngomong kanthi gamblang yen dheweke ora
The first Dutch hire raises a written employment contract, a probation period that is only valid within statutory limits, notice periods, pension, and — for non-EU staff — sponsorship. If you intend to bring in staff from outside the EU, the company itself must be recognised as a sponsor by the IND, a process worth starting early rather than after the offer letter.
4. Dheweke nyebutake gaji direktur sadurunge sampeyan kaget
A director who is also a substantial shareholder falls under the Dutch customary wage rules (gebruikelijkloonregeling); for 2026 the reference figure is €58,000 gross a year. Founders planning to take little or no salary in year one need to know this at the outset, and to take tax advice on it specifically.
5. Dheweke ngunggahake posisi pajak karyawan sing mlebu kanthi akurat
The expat scheme, long known as the 30% ruling, lets a qualifying incoming employee receive part of their salary free of tax. For rulings that started before 1 January 2024, that stays at 30% for the full term. For rulings that started on or after that date, 30% continues through 2026 and drops to 27% from 1 January 2027, with the salary threshold rising at the same time. Any adviser quoting a flat “30% for five years” in 2026 is working from outdated material.
6. Dheweke nempatake kesepakatan pemegang saham ing jalur kritis
Dutch law does not supply founder vesting, drag-along and tag-along, deadlock resolution, or a leaver regime. Leave that document until after launch and it gets negotiated once the founders have already fallen out — the worst possible moment.
Kewajiban sing ngetutake, lan sing narik kawigaten wong anyar
- Kewajiban Direktur. Direktur Walanda tanggung jawab pribadi kanggo manajemen sing ora bener, lan ing insolvensi standar kasebut luwih murah tinimbang sing diarepake dening umume pendiri, utamane nalika akun ora diajukake tepat wektu.
- Pengajuan. Annual accounts must be filed with the KvK. Late filing is itself evidence of improper management in a later bankruptcy.
- Dewan kerja. From fifty employees, a works council becomes compulsory, with advice and consent rights that affect reorganisations and terms of employment.
- Dismissal needs a ground. There is no dismissal “at will”: Dutch law requires a statutory ground and a route through the UWV or the subdistrict court, and severance accrues from day one.
Apa sing kudu ditakoni sadurunge ngajak sapa wae
- Ngelingi apa sing lagi ditindakake ing Walanda, apa panjenengan gelem mbentuk sawijining entitas saiki?
- Apa sing kalebu ing rega pendirian perusahaan sampeyan lan apa sing ora — khususé, apa perjanjian pemegang saham ana ing njero utawa njaba perjanjian kasebut?
- Apa panjenengan uga bakal nyusun kontrak kerja sing pertama, lan apa panjenengan bisa ndhaftar perusahaan kasebut menyang IND?
- Sapa sing nandatangani kontrak karo perusahaan sawise dibentuk, lan kepiye carane mbatesi wewenang kasebut ing registrasi KvK?
- Apa sing bakal dadi angel kanggo struktur iki yen kita ngunggahake babak utawa ngedol sajrone telung taun?
carane Law & More kerja bareng karo para pendiri manca negara
Kita menehi saran marang perusahaan lan pendiri asing sing mlebu Walanda saka kantor ing Eindhoven lan Amsterdam, ing basa Inggris lan Walanda. Akèh karya kuwi ana ing Brainport Eindhoven technology region, where the questions tend to arrive together: an entity, a shareholders’ agreement, the first employment contracts, and residence permits for the people who will run it. We work alongside your notary on the deed rather than replacing them, and we leave tax advice to your own tax adviser — international tax structuring is not part of our practice.
Ing ringkesan
- Incorporating a BV is fast; the choices that shape it — entity purpose, ownership, first hires — need to come first.
- A branch or a distribution agreement can be the better fit until you take on local risk or staff.
- A good adviser drafts the shareholders’ agreement, handles the first employment contracts, and can register the company as an IND sponsor.
- Watch the DGA customary wage (€58,000 for 2026) and the tapering 30%/27% expat ruling — both change the numbers an adviser should quote you.
- The UBO register is no longer open to the public, but registration itself remains compulsory.
Pitakonan Paling Sering
Firma hukum Walanda endi sing paling apik kanggo perusahaan asing sing madeg ing Walanda?
It depends on what the entity is for. A large firm makes sense where the entry is part of a financed transaction with regulatory approvals. A mid-sized or boutique firm is usually the better fit for an operating entry — an entity, a team and customer contracts — because you deal with the person doing the work. Worth testing: does the firm draft the shareholders’ agreement as well as form the company, can it register you as an IND sponsor, and does it work in English on the documents and not only in meetings?
Suwene suwene nyiyapake BV?
Pendirian perusahaan dhewe biasane mung sawetara dina sawise notaris duwe identifikasi, artikel, lan informasi UBO. Sing mbutuhake wektu luwih suwe yaiku apa sing ana gandhengane karo iku: nyetujoni perjanjian pemegang saham, mbukak rekening bank, lan pangenalan sponsor IND yen sampeyan rencana nyewa saka njaba EU.
Apa aku kudu manggon ing Walanda kanggo dadi sutradara?
No. Dutch law does not require directors to be resident. Residence does matter for other things — banking, the company’s tax residence, and your own right to stay and work — so it should be part of the structuring conversation rather than an afterthought.
Pira modal saham sing dakbutuhake?
The statutory minimum for a BV is €0.01. A realistic figure is whatever the company needs to trade without being immediately dependent on shareholder loans, since thin capitalisation is one of the factors that surfaces in directors’ liability discussions later.
Apa registrasi UBO iku umum?
No longer. Following the 2025 law restricting access to the UBO registers, access is limited to competent authorities, institutions performing client due diligence, parties who can demonstrate a legitimate interest, and the registered persons themselves. Registration remains compulsory, and the Chamber of Commerce enforces it.
