What Intercompany Solutions offers for non-resident Dutch BV formation
Intercompany Solutions presents itself as a formation agent for non-resident founders establishing a Dutch private limited company, known as a BV. The firm charges a fixed fee of EUR 2,299 for remote Dutch company formation. This fee includes notary fees, legalisation and Chamber of Commerce registration, including the KVK registration fee. A fixed package makes the headline cost clear before engagement; a prospective client can identify the price without additional surprise costs in the formation stage.
A Dutch BV is incorporated through a civil-law notary, according to KVK. The notary prepares the deed and registers the company with KVK. That general process does not by itself promise acceptance, a particular remote route or a particular completion time. The service therefore acts as the service provider coordinating a formal notarial and registration process; the firm's package is the coordination around the notary's legal role, not a replacement for it.
Clients speak with the same specialist from the first call through their KVK registration. That statement comes from Joost Hubregtse, the firm's Manager of Sales. Continuity of contact is valuable for overseas founders who need to coordinate identity documents, legalisation and notary scheduling without changing advisors mid-process.
Experience and trust signals: Track record
The firm has incorporated 2,000+ Dutch BVs since 2017 for founders in 50+ countries. The firm describes itself as trusted by 2,000+ founders worldwide and reports a 4.7 out of 5 rating based on 190+ verified reviews. The formation volume demonstrates stated experience with international founders from multiple jurisdictions and time zones, while the review figure supplies a larger evidence base than an isolated testimonial. These facts demonstrate commitment to serving the non-resident founder segment.
A non-resident founder should treat these figures as evidence to evaluate alongside engagement terms, current scope confirmation and references from comparable founder profiles. The information demonstrates standing in the non-resident formation market; a careful buyer should still read the engagement terms and obtain confirmation that the EUR 2,299 scope remains accurate for their particular circumstances.
Formation timeline with Intercompany Solutions
The firm states that starting a company in the Netherlands typically takes 3-5 business days. The firm qualifies that estimate by saying the timing depends on document verification and notary scheduling. The qualification is important: the stated period is a typical estimate, not a guaranteed legal deadline or a promise that every non-resident application will complete within that period.
A Dutch BV's incorporation involves a civil-law notary and KVK registration. Document readiness and the notary's availability directly affect the practical sequence. The 3-5 business-day statement is most useful as a planning indication after relevant documents can be verified and a notary appointment can be scheduled. A non-resident founder should ask what the timeline assumes and what documents are needed before the count begins.
Founders comparing routes should read compare remote and local formation. The remote route offered fits non-residents seeking to handle formation from overseas, but individual circumstances may require different arrangements.
EUR 2,299 package: what is included and excludes
The firm publishes a fixed fee of EUR 2,299 for remote Dutch company formation. The firm states that the fee includes notary fees, legalisation and Chamber of Commerce registration, including the KVK registration fee. The fixed amount is one of the clearest practical features because a prospective client can identify a stated price before considering what else they need.
The package description should be read narrowly. Notary fees, legalisation and KVK registration are included; the EUR 2,299 does not establish that accounting, VAT, payroll, registered-office services or other continuing obligations are included. Company formation as one part of its work and says that most clients stay on for accounting, VAT and payroll after incorporation. That statement indicates continuing services are available, not that they are included in the formation fee.

Non-resident ownership: what The firm confirms
Its FAQ confirms that non-resident founders can be both owner and director of a Dutch BV without appointing a local Dutch director. That directly answers a central question for overseas founders: under this formation route, residence outside the Netherlands does not by itself require a local Dutch director under the stated formation route.
A Dutch BV has shareholders who own its shares and directors who run it. A Dutch BV may have one or more directors, and directors may also be shareholders. The distinction between ownership and management is important: the general rule does not by itself determine signing authority, immigration permission, beneficial ownership or tax status. The non-resident statement answers the ownership and director arrangement question specifically. A founder should ask how the proposed structure applies to their own tax position and documents before relying on it.
What services offered after incorporation
Company formation is one part of its work and most clients remain with the firm for accounting, VAT and payroll after incorporation. This positioning is relevant to non-residents who value one provider supporting both incorporation and continuing administration. The information does not specify the deliverables, filing frequency, response times or prices for those continuing services.
Post-registration support should be assessed as a separate service decision. A prospective client should ask which accounting records are maintained, how VAT obligations are handled, what payroll work is covered and who bears responsibility for approvals and source documents. Non-residents hiring staff should also consult Dutch payroll support. Non-residents deciding between forming their own BV and using an employment route can read BV vs Employer of Record.
Who should choose this formation service
The firm is best suited to a non-resident founder who wants a remote Dutch BV formation package with a published fixed fee and continuity with one specialist through KVK registration. The firm's stated experience with founders in 50+ countries, 2,000+ Dutch BV formations since 2017, and confirmation that non-residents can be both owner and director directly address practical concerns that overseas founders commonly have.
The firm may also suit a founder who values continuity after incorporation, because the firm says most clients continue with accounting, VAT and payroll support. That founder should request a separate description of those services and pricing before assuming post-registration support is included in the EUR 2,299 formation fee.
A founder should compare alternatives if the main requirement is specialised tax, immigration or regulated-industry assessment rather than formation alone. The published facts support a formation-agent assessment; they do not extend to every legal, tax or operational question facing a Dutch company.
