Thinking about doing business in the Netherlands?
If you find the Netherlands favourable for your business and contemplating doing business in or via the Netherlands, you would probably like to know how business is done here, how the tax and legal system works, the political climate and procedures.

How can you do business in the Netherlands?
Business in the Netherlands can be done by using a Dutch company or a Dutch branch.
Which one would suit your company best would depend on various factors such as:

  • Your business activities in the Netherlands
  • Where you are internationally registered
  • How you would like to finance your business and
  • Your future plans for your company

With a Dutch company, you would effectively do business in the Netherlands with a new (separate from your original) Dutch legal entity.
With the Dutch branch you would do business in the Netherlands with an office or representative of your foreign company.
Our network partners and consultants can help you with the overview of the differences which would help you decide which structure is better for your business in the Netherlands.
