What the second base must do
For Saudi families the brief has three lines: world-class education for the children, a genuine business platform into the EU’s 450 million consumers, and a base that works in August as well as on paper. The Dutch answer: the Randstad’s international schools, a BV-and-holding structure with treaty protection home, and a family neighbourhood culture built for exactly this life: the family file.
The platform, concretely
One Dutch holding anchors it all: the operating BV for European activity (19% up to €200,000), the property BV for the portfolio (the real-estate route), and dividends travelling home under the Netherlands–Saudi treaty: the group holding. Vision-2030 businesses expanding into Europe run the same spine: the expansion route.
Presence on your terms
The base works at every intensity: fully remote ownership (the non-resident setup), seasonal family use around the school calendar, or a full relocation when the moment fits. Substance scales with your choice: what convinces.
The 90-day build
Company remotely in weeks (the route), school shortlist in parallel, home search in season — the whole sequence: the private-wealth checklist.
