Common questions
Yes. A foreigner can own and direct a Dutch B.V., but a Dutch civil-law notary must execute the deed and run a video verification before KvK registration. Commenda, Acclime, and Tetra Consultants all coordinate the notary and registration for you.
No. A Dutch B.V. does not require a resident director, and foreign nationals can own and manage it. Some providers offer a nominee director anyway; it is optional for a BV. Commenda provides a Dutch fiscal representative for VAT for $2,500/year if needed.
Acclime and Tetra Consultants are established advisor-led providers with quote-based pricing. Commenda is the better fit if you want transparent, listed pricing and a software platform that manages the Netherlands alongside entities in other countries, with transfer pricing and consolidation on one audit trail.
Commenda publishes its prices ($4,000 to incorporate, plus listed modular services). Acclime and Tetra Consultants quote each engagement. Transparent pricing is part of how Commenda delivers certainty of service: you see what is done, by whom, at what cost, on what timeline.
About 3 to 4 weeks with Commenda end-to-end (name check, notarial deed, video verification, KvK registration), with UBO, CIT, and VAT registrations completed as part of it. Tetra Consultants cites about 3 weeks.
