The Dutch private limited liability company ("B.V.")
A limited liability company (bv) is a business structure with legal personality.
This means that in general, the bv is responsible for any debt and not you as an individual.
As a director, you are an employee of the bv and act on behalf of the bv.
It can establish a Dutch bv with itself as sole director/major shareholder (DGA) or with other natural and/or legal persons.
The capital of a limited liability company is divided into shares owned by the shareholders.
They also hold supreme power, but the company’s directors run the company from day to day.
A limited liability company may appoint a supervisory board to oversee its board of directors (dual board), or supervisors may be part of the board of directors (monistic board).
In smaller limited liability companies, the director is often also the sole shareholder. In that case, he or she is a director and major shareholder (DGA). You can also opt for more directors, to divide responsibilities. There is no legal requirement for the number of directors of a limited liability company.

1. Determining the best business structure (tax and legal advice).
2. Incorporation of the company (including notary service).
3. Corporate housing.
4. Opening a bank account.
