Document check

What you need to set up a company in the Netherlands

Tell us who will own the company and where they live. You get your own list: which documents, where to get them in your country, and which official stamps they need. Takes two minutes.

Who will own the new company?

Add every person and every company that becomes a shareholder. For a company, we also ask who signs for it and who owns it.

What will the company do?
Do you want a holding company above it?

A holding is a second company that owns the shares of the working company. It protects profits and makes a later sale easier. If you are not sure, choose “not sure”; we look at it with you.

Where do we send your list?

You get the list on screen and by email. We keep your answers to prepare your file; we do not store names of public positions, only yes or no.
