Set up a BV

Your business is growing and profit is rising. At some point, a sole proprietorship no longer fits that stage. A BV creates room to build capital, reinvest and keep growing.

Growth calls for the right structure.

Many entrepreneurs start simple. That is often the right choice. As the business grows, the questions change too. Profit rises, room to invest emerges and capital stays within the business. That is exactly when the chosen legal form becomes more important.

A BV offers more than a different legal structure. It determines how profits are taxed, how capital is built and what opportunities arise for further growth. For many entrepreneurs, a BV is therefore not an administrative step, but a strategic decision for the future.

Process

FAQ

We'll answer them.

When is a BV worth considering?

Gele diagonale lijn van rechtsboven naar linksonder op witte achtergrond.
A BV often becomes worthwhile when a business is structurally profitable, capital is being built within the business, or there are plans for further growth, investment or working with other parties. Which legal form fits best always depends on the current situation and the ambitions for the future.

What are the main differences between a sole proprietorship and a BV?

Gele diagonale lijn van rechtsboven naar linksonder op witte achtergrond.
A BV is an independent legal entity. As a result, the business stands legally separate from the entrepreneur. This affects matters such as liability, tax treatment, capital building and the options to structure the business further.

Is a holding structure always necessary?

Gele diagonale lijn van rechtsboven naar linksonder op witte achtergrond.
No. A holding structure offers advantages in many situations, but is not necessary for every business. The added value depends on factors such as the activities, the capital built up, the risk position and the plans for further growth.

How does setting up a BV work?
