The Dutch BV as your European base for trade and technology.

China is one of the most active origin countries for new Dutch trading companies, from electronics and e-commerce to food supplement ingredients and machinery. We incorporate your Dutch BV or two-tier holding structure entirely remotely. You sign an apostilled Power of Attorney in China; we handle the notary, the Chamber of Commerce, the tax registrations and the bank application in the Netherlands.

The structure we build for you

Why founders from China choose the Netherlands

Fully remote, fully legal

Your apostilled passport copy and Power of Attorney are all the notary needs. You incorporate from Shanghai, Shenzhen or Guangzhou while we execute everything in the Netherlands.

A clear written proposal before we start

You get a written proposal with every amount for your situation, before you decide. It sets out each step: notary, KVK registration, UBO filing, VAT and corporate tax registration and bank account guidance. You choose your business address and sign that contract yourself.

The structure that protects your trade

A holding above your operating company separates accumulated profit from trading risk. Dutch corporate tax is 19% up to €200,000 profit, and dividends to your holding are tax-free under the participation exemption.

Bank account: what to expect

Dutch banks assess every foreign-owned company individually. You get a complete file for the bank that fits your situation, and guidance from application to decision.
