Terms of Service

We work on Dutch companies and on the structures built on them. Each service is described on its own page of this site; the limits below apply to all of them.

What we provide

• Structuring and tax advice on Dutch companies and groups.
• Preparing the file a notary needs to incorporate a company or transfer shares.
• Registrations and filings with the Dutch authorities, on your instructions.
• Bookkeeping, payroll and VAT administration.
• Applications for licences, trade marks and founder residence permits.
• Help with opening a business bank account.
• A business address or virtual office, limited to domicile and mail handling.

What others do, and what we are not

• A Dutch notary (notaris) executes every notarial deed. We are not notaries.
• We are not a law firm and do not act as an advocaat (a lawyer admitted to the Dutch bar).
• We are not accountants and hold no RA or AA title. We keep books; we do not audit or certify accounts.
• We do not represent clients in court.

Services we do not provide, and one rule we apply

• We never act as your director or as your general attorney-in-fact, and we do not find one for you.
• We do not sell, broker or match companies. For an existing BV, we assist the buyer in a notarial share transfer.
• We do not provide trust office services.
• If you take our business address or virtual office, you do not also take bookkeeping, annual accounts, tax returns or legal assistance from us or our group.

Under Dutch law, each of these, including an address combined with bookkeeping, accounts, tax or legal work for the same client, is a trust service that needs a licence from De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB). We do not hold that licence.

1. 1

   Information and identification

   You give us complete and accurate information and documents, and tell us when they change. Before work starts, we identify you and your ultimate beneficial owners, as anti-money-laundering rules require of firms like ours.

2. 2

   Fees

   We quote our fees for each engagement on request and agree them with you before work starts. State fees, notary costs and other third-party charges are separate, and we show them as such.

3. 3

   Payment

   We invoice you, and each invoice states how it can be paid. Our payment page lets you settle an invoice by card or cryptocurrency. When you pay by card, the card details are entered on the card processor's own page and never reach this site.

4. 4

   Refunds

   If a payment is made in error or for the wrong amount, tell us at info@company-formation-in-netherlands.com and we check it against the invoice and settle the difference with you. Whether any fee is returned when an engagement ends early is agreed in its engagement letter. These terms make no other promise of a refund.
