Embarking on the journey of expanding your business to new horizons is an exhilarating endeavor. However, navigating the complexities of legal structures can be daunting. At BMF Advices, we are here to serve as your guiding force, ensuring a seamless implementation of your business in Europe, particularly in the Netherlands.

As you step into this venture, understanding the distinctions between incorporated and unincorporated business structures is crucial. Unincorporated entities, such as Sole Proprietorship or Partnerships, significantly differ from incorporated companies like a Limited Liability Company (BV) or Foundation (Stichting).

In an unincorporated business, the lines between personal and business assets can blur, potentially increasing your liability in case of debts. On the flip side, incorporated businesses allow a clear separation between personal and business assets, providing a layer of protection against commercial debts.

Here are some options we support:

1.  Sole Proprietorship / Individual Business (Eenmanszaak or ZZP)

2.  Limited Partnership (Commanditaire vennootschap or CV)

3. General Partnership (Vennootschap onder firma or VOF)

4.  Commercial / Professional Partnership (Maatschap)

5.  Private Company: Ltd. and Inc. (Besloten vennootschap or BV)

6.  Public Company: Plc. and Corp. (Naamloze vennootschap or NV)

7.  Cooperative and Mutual Insurance Society (Coöperatie en onderlinge waarborgmaatschappij)

8.  Foundation (Stichting)

9.  Association (Vereniging)

Each structure comes with specific legal requirements, and our specialized team is ready to guide you in choosing the option that aligns best with your objectives. The private company (BV) is a popular choice among foreigners due to its flexibility and benefits.

At BMF Advices, we are committed to simplifying the process to ensure the success of your business in the Netherlands.
