Your European entity. Dutch precision, US speed.
For US e-commerce brands and SaaS companies, a Dutch BV is the cleanest entry into the European market: EU VAT registration, euro invoicing, EU consumer law compliance and a respected corporate home. Holdwise incorporates remotely; a notarized and apostilled Power of Attorney from any US state is all we need from your side. And for founders making the move personally, the Dutch American Friendship Treaty opens its own door: residence as an entrepreneur with a €4,500 investment.
A Dutch BV with its own VAT number handles EU sales, OSS/IOSS registrations and local consumer rights properly, which protects your brand and your marketplace accounts.
Your US Inc. or LLC can hold the Dutch BV directly, or sit beside it under a personal holding. We map the US–NL tax treaty consequences with your CPA before incorporation.
Dutch profits are taxed at 19% in the first bracket, with the participation exemption keeping intercompany dividends tax-free within the structure.
One written proposal, stated upfront, including notary, registrations, registered address arrangement and bank guidance.
US citizens obtain a self-employed residence permit under the 1956 Dutch American Friendship Treaty: a real Dutch business plus €4,500 in capital. We design the structure — sole proprietorship or BV — and the treaty follows the plan. The full guide: DAFT in 2026.
All-in: notary, KVK and UBO registration, VAT and corporate income tax registration, registered address through our partner and guidance through the bank application. You receive the complete proposal in writing.
Your country is party to the Apostille Convention: a Power of Attorney signed before a local notary and apostilled is sufficient — or you choose video identification. Add a valid passport copy and the UBO details. We confirm the exact list for your situation upfront.
