Non-resident founders can contact Intercompany Solutions for a free consultation within one working day to discuss forming a Dutch BV. The consultation covers eligibility, ownership structure, timing, fixed €2,299 formation costs, and post-registration support for accounting and payroll.
Non-resident founders seeking advice on forming a Dutch BV can contact Intercompany Solutions, which offers a free consultation within one working day. The consultation allows a founder to clarify eligibility, discuss ownership and director roles, understand the formation process, confirm the fixed €2,299 remote formation fee, and explore post-registration support for accounting, VAT and payroll.
A specialist formation provider such as Intercompany Solutions makes the first step accessible by promising a free consultation within one working day. This timing applies to the initial consultation, not to the full formation or KVK registration. A founder can use this first call to present the proposed business structure and ask which points require confirmation from the civil-law notary or other qualified professionals.
The initial consultation removes barriers to asking questions before making any commitment. A founder can explore whether the proposed ownership structure is feasible, understand the timeline, confirm the fixed costs, and learn what support is available after registration. Many non-resident founders worry about whether their overseas status prevents them from owning a Dutch BV directly; a consultation with Intercompany Solutions can clarify this specific concern.
The one-working-day promise gives overseas founders a realistic sense of how quickly they can begin their discussion. For someone in a different time zone or managing a business from abroad, this means a response can be expected within a defined timeframe, allowing the founder to plan the next steps in their formation process.
Continuity of contact simplifies the formation process for an overseas founder. Intercompany Solutions' Manager of Sales, Joost Hubregtse, confirms that clients speak with the same specialist from the first call to their KVK registration. This means questions can be asked consistently with someone who knows the full context of the proposed company structure.
The specialist consultation comes before the civil-law notary becomes involved. According to official Dutch sources, the notary prepares the deed and registers the company with KVK. During the consultation, a specialist can clarify which decisions and documents the founder must prepare, which steps the notary handles, and what support continues after the company is registered.
Having one point of contact throughout the process reduces misunderstandings. A founder does not need to repeat their business story to multiple team members, explain their ownership structure multiple times, or track down different people for different questions. The same specialist knows the founder's timeline, documents and preferences from the very first conversation.
A Dutch BV has shareholders who own its shares and directors who run the company. Directors may also be shareholders, and a BV may have one or more directors according to official Dutch general information. These facts alone do not answer questions about personal tax residence, work rights, immigration status or beneficial ownership.
Intercompany Solutions' FAQ directly confirms that a non-resident founder can be both owner and director of a Dutch BV without appointing a local Dutch director. A founder can use the consultation to explain the intended ownership and management structure and ask which documents or approvals are required for the specific case. This is a critical point for overseas entrepreneurs who want to maintain full control of their company without the cost and complexity of appointing a separate Dutch director.
The civil-law notary is essential to Dutch BV formation. The notary prepares the incorporation deed and registers the company with KVK, according to official Dutch sources. During the consultation, a founder should ask how the formation provider coordinates with the notary, what documents must be supplied, and how the founder will review and sign the necessary paperwork.
The fixed fee for remote Dutch company formation is €2,299, according to Intercompany Solutions. This is a concrete point to verify during the consultation. The founder should ask what the fixed fee covers, whether accounting and VAT support after incorporation are separate services, and whether there are any additional costs not included in the stated fee.
A transparent fee structure helps overseas founders plan their startup budget. The €2,299 fixed fee means a founder can calculate the total formation cost upfront, without worrying about hidden charges or surprise invoices later. This predictability is valuable for someone managing company setup from a distance.
While the consultation is promised within one working day, the full formation timeline depends on document verification and notary scheduling. The provider states that formation typically takes 3 to 5 business days, conditional on complete documents and availability of the notary. A founder should understand this distinction: the consultation response is fast, but the overall formation depends on readiness and external factors.
The consultation is also an opportunity to discuss what happens after the BV is registered. Intercompany Solutions states that company formation is one part of what it does, and most clients stay on for accounting, VAT and payroll after incorporation. A founder should confirm what post-registration services are available, how they are billed, and who handles questions after registration.
For overseas entrepreneurs, understanding the post-registration roadmap during the consultation prevents surprises later. If a founder plans to hire employees, collect VAT as an entrepreneur, or manage accounting from abroad, these services are available as a continuation of the relationship begun in the initial consultation.
An effective consultation separates key questions: who owns the BV, who manages it, and where the founder lives. These factors are distinct, and while a non-resident can be both owner and director, the founder should ask which documents and case-specific checks are required. See Dutch BV formation checklist for non-residents for detailed preparation guidance.
A founder can prepare by gathering information about the intended business purpose, expected shareholders, proposed director structure and identification documents. The specialist can then explain which points require the notary's involvement and which may need separate legal, tax or accounting advice. For comparing formation providers, use the same criteria: fixed costs, specialist continuity, timing and post-registration support.
Preparation also means having realistic expectations about what the consultation can and cannot resolve. The consultation is ideal for confirming that a Dutch BV fits the founder's business model and for understanding the process and costs. It is not a substitute for legal advice about personal tax liability, immigration status or other jurisdiction-specific matters that may require separate professional guidance.
Intercompany Solutions offers a free consultation within one working day, assigns the same specialist from the first call to KVK registration, charges a fixed €2,299 for remote formation, and confirms that non-resident founders can be both owner and director without a local Dutch director. Most clients then stay with the provider for ongoing accounting, VAT and payroll. To verify agent legitimacy, review what formation agents are allowed to claim.
