Registering a company in Netherlands

The registration of companies in the Netherlands is done by the chamber of commerce. Before foreign companies can do business in Holland they need to first carry out a brief survey to find out if they are allowed to conduct their type of business, being foreigners. A foreign company can start by opening a subsidiary limited company and after this step the company can then choose what legal entity it will prefer for doing business in Holland.

The Netherlands company registry allows different forms of business legal entities to be opened by foreign companies. These include a private limited liability company, sole proprietorship, partnership, foundation and association. After a business entity has been identified, the next step is to come up with a good business plan. A good business plan depends on the size of the company doing business in Holland. It identifies the potential market, the costs, and the results expected from the business.

Further, the Netherlands company registry allows businesses to be registered in the official trade register of the chamber of commerce. The information that is required here is the trade name and the legal form of your company. Any individual or company can request for any information from the trade register since the register is open to the public for review.

Once the registration is done, the next phase is to visit the tax authorities who will assess the type of business and state the taxes that will be paid. After they have established the taxes to be paid, tax registration numbers will then be issued to the company. Usually, there are four types of taxes for companies doing business in Holland. These are the value added tax, income tax, wage tax and corporation tax.

After the legal processes of the Netherlands company registry are over, the companies can now look for suitable office space to set up their business. The business space depends on the size as well as the nature of the business. There several other factors to be considered too and these include whether the business premises will be rented or not, setting up a business in an old or a new premise, and the cost of the required office space.

Once the business has been setup, it is important to get a good insurance policy for your business. As an entrepreneur, personal insurance and business insurance are the two kinds of policies that you are most likely going to be interested in. After all these phases are over your business should now be ready to start its trading activities.
