BUSINESS SETUP · INDIA
A Dutch BV is a separate legal entity; a Dutch branch of an existing foreign company is a different route. For a BV, start with the ownership and business plan, then work through the civil-law notary. LIQUETAX can organise agreed preparation and coordination, without claiming to act as a Dutch notary or guaranteeing tax benefits.

Bring preparation, queries and follow-up into one agreed workflow.

GET READY, ONE STEP AT A TIME
We’ll share an applicant-specific checklist after a short discussion. The exact records depend on your circumstances.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Record the intended activity and parent-company relationship.
Organise identity, ownership and company decisions.
Coordinate open points with the appointed notary.
List registry evidence and outstanding operational tasks.
The useful milestones are completion of the ownership pack, the notarial act, registration and operational setup. Overseas document checks and appointment availability can affect timing; do not commit to customer delivery dates from a generic incorporation estimate.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamA civil-law notary prepares the incorporation deed and registers the BV and managing directors with KVK. Use the notary's current instructions, not a universal company form list.

Yes. The official BV guide allows formation by one person or with others. Ownership and management arrangements still need to be documented.

A branch of a foreign company is not a separate legal entity merely because it is listed in the Dutch Business Register. Discuss the parent-company relationship before choosing the route.
References: Business.gov.nl / KVK: foreign entities and branches
Prepare a transparent ownership and control picture. The official BV guidance includes UBO registration through the notary; the required evidence depends on the actual ownership chain.
References: Business.gov.nl / KVK: the Dutch BV
The current official guide describes starting capital of at least EUR 0.01. That nominal amount is not a realistic operating budget; agree capital and funding with your notary and advisers.

No such outcome is promised by this service. Obtain case-specific advice on where the business operates, people working locally and funding from India before making commitments.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| BV or branch | Decide which entity should sign customer contracts and carry the business. | A foreign branch does not create the same separate legal entity as a new BV. |
| Ownership rights | Agree share allocation, voting and decision-making before drafting. | An inexpensive registration is not a substitute for a workable founder arrangement. |
| Notary and UBO information | Prepare the real ownership chain and the people ultimately controlling it. | The notary handles the BV formation and registry process, including UBO registration. |
| Operations and budget | Map premises, banking, accounting and staff plans. | Nominal share capital is not the total cost of formation or enough by itself to fund the business. |
