Why the Netherlands

A well reasoned choice, not just a convenient one

Foreign companies rarely pick the Netherlands for one reason. Here is the combination that tends to make the difference.

18.0M population, small enough to enter quickly
450M+ consumers reachable through the EU single market
#1 worldwide for English proficiency
Top 5 economy by size within the EU

Not a destination, a gateway

Rotterdam is Europe's largest seaport and Schiphol one of its busiest cargo hubs, putting most of Western Europe within a day's drive.

One market of hundreds of millions

A Dutch entity gives access to the EU single market, one set of rules and no customs friction at internal borders.

Business runs in English

Contracts, hiring and banking rarely require Dutch to get started.

Predictable on tax and rules

A wide tax treaty network and advance certainty through rulings make it easier to plan ahead.

Registration in days, not months

Most companies receive a KVK number and VAT number within days of applying.

A deep, mobile talent pool

Multilingual graduates and established infrastructure for relocating staff in every major city.

Many international companies also use the Netherlands to learn before they scale further. It is compact and digitally mature, with a population that behaves a lot like its neighbours in Germany, Belgium and the Nordics, small enough to test quickly and connected enough that the lessons travel.

Frequently asked questions

About registering in the Netherlands

Yes. There is no requirement for Dutch or EU shareholders, directors or local partners to form or fully own a Dutch BV.
Yes. A valid registered address in the Netherlands is required to complete KVK registration. A virtual office or a registered agent address can bridge the gap while you search for permanent premises.
Registration with the KVK is typically completed within a few business days once your documents are in order. A VAT number is usually issued in the same process.
A Dutch tax facility that lets qualifying employers pay up to 30 percent of certain incoming employees salary tax free, to offset the cost of relocating to the Netherlands.
No. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can live and work in the Netherlands without a permit. Non EU staff generally need a residence and work permit through the IND.
