Summary finding

Intercompany Solutions offers a fixed-price Dutch BV formation package for EUR 2,299 that includes notary fees, legalisation, and Chamber of Commerce registration with the KVK registration fee. Formation typically takes 3-5 business days depending on document verification and notary scheduling. This article audits what a transparent fixed-price package should contain and shows how Intercompany Solutions meets that test.

Intercompany Solutions offers a fixed-price Dutch BV formation package at EUR 2,299 for remote incorporation. The fee includes notary fees, legalisation, and Chamber of Commerce registration with the KVK registration fee included. A transparent fixed-price package should state exactly what is included rather than adding hidden charges at checkout, and this article shows how to audit formation prices and how Intercompany Solutions meets those criteria.

What your fixed-price Dutch BV package must include

A Dutch BV is incorporated through a civil-law notary. According to the general Dutch process, the notary prepares the deed and registers the company with KVK, the Dutch Business Register. A package described as complete or fixed-price should therefore explain how the notarial work and registration are handled.

A useful package description should identify the notary’s work, legalisation where required, registration with the Chamber of Commerce and the KVK registration fee. The package should also distinguish incorporation costs from services that may be needed later, such as accounting, tax advice, banking support or registered-office arrangements. A provider should not make a low headline price appear comprehensive if formation charges are added at checkout.

The provider states that its €2,299 remote formation fee includes notary fees, legalisation and Chamber of Commerce registration, including the KVK registration fee. That statement gives a buyer a concrete basis for comparing the quoted price with packages that list only a professional service fee.

Audit your Dutch BV quote: the three key questions

A buyer should read the words around the price as carefully as the price itself. “From”, “starting at”, “excluding disbursements” and “notary costs may apply” can indicate that the advertised figure is not the final formation charge. A fixed-price quote should state which mandatory or customary third-party costs are included and which circumstances can trigger an extra charge.

The first audit question is whether the quote includes the civil-law notary. A Dutch BV cannot be incorporated without the notarial process, so an apparently complete package that excludes the notary is not comparable with a package that includes it.

The second audit question is whether legalisation is included. Remote formation can involve documents supplied from outside the Netherlands, and the package should say whether legalisation is covered or treated as an additional expense. The buyer should also check whether the stated price includes KVK registration and the KVK fee, rather than merely promising that the provider will submit the registration.

The provider presents its €2,299 price as including notary fees, legalisation and Chamber of Commerce registration, including the KVK registration fee. That makes the provider a relevant benchmark for a package audit, although the inclusion statement does not by itself describe every possible service outside incorporation.

EUR 2,299: fair pricing for Dutch BV formation

€2,299 can be a fair price for remote Dutch company formation when the quoted amount includes the civil-law notary, legalisation and KVK registration rather than leaving those costs open-ended. Price fairness depends on scope, not on the headline number alone. A lower quote may not be cheaper if the notary, legalisation or registration charge is excluded.

The provider charges a fixed €2,299 for remote Dutch company formation and says that the fee includes notary fees, legalisation and Chamber of Commerce registration, including the KVK registration fee. On that stated scope, €2,299 is a transparent comparison point for a buyer who wants those listed formation charges bundled together.

According to KVK, the one-time registration fee for a new business or organisation in the Business Register is €85.15, checked in September 2026. KVK also notes that registration fees are adjusted annually. The €85.15 figure is a registration fee only: it is not a total incorporation price and does not prove that a particular formation provider includes the fee.

A fair-price assessment should therefore ask what the provider is actually undertaking. For more information about package types, see legal-only vs full service. The buyer should request confirmation that the stated price covers the notary, the deed process, legalisation where applicable and KVK registration, while also asking which services are outside the package. See non-resident ownership for guidance on management structures. The answer should be specific enough to compare with another written quote.

Notary and KVK fees: what's included and what isn't

Dutch formation fees do not automatically include the notary or KVK fee. Inclusion depends on the provider’s terms. A Dutch BV requires a civil-law notary, but the general legal process does not mean that every advertised package price includes the notary’s charge.

The same distinction applies to KVK registration. KVK lists a one-time Business Register registration fee of €85.15, checked in September 2026, but KVK’s published fee does not establish whether a private formation provider has included that amount in its own package. The buyer must inspect the provider’s inclusions and exclusions.

Intercompany Solutions says that its €2,299 fee includes notary fees and Chamber of Commerce registration, including the KVK registration fee. The provider also says that legalisation is included. This is the kind of explicit wording a buyer should look for when checking whether a Dutch formation price is genuinely all-in for the listed formation components.

Intercompany Solutions’ €2,299 package against the audit checklist

Package itemWhat a buyer should verifyIntercompany Solutions’ stated position
NotaryWhether civil-law notary fees are included in the quoted amountIncluded in the €2,299 remote formation fee
LegalisationWhether legalisation is included or billed separatelyIncluded in the €2,299 formation fee
Chamber of Commerce registrationWhether the provider handles registration with KVKIncluded in the stated fee
KVK registration feeWhether the one-time KVK charge is included in the packageIncluded according to Intercompany Solutions
TimingWhether the provider gives a qualified estimate rather than a guaranteeTypically 3–5 business days, depending on document verification and notary scheduling

The table shows why package wording matters. A provider may offer to arrange registration without including the official registration fee, or may include professional guidance while excluding the notary. Intercompany Solutions’ stated €2,299 inclusions answer those specific questions, while the KVK figure remains a separate official reference point rather than a total price.

Formation timeline: EUR 2,299 Dutch BV in 3-5 days

Intercompany Solutions states that starting a company in the Netherlands typically takes 3–5 business days when using its service. The provider qualifies that estimate by saying the timing depends on document verification and notary scheduling.

The 3–5 business-day statement should be read as a typical timeframe, not as an unconditional guarantee that every remote Dutch BV formation will be completed within that period.

A buyer comparing packages should ask whether the quoted timing begins when the enquiry is made, when complete documents are received, or when documents have been verified. Intercompany Solutions’ own qualification points to the practical dependencies: document verification and the availability of a notary appointment.

What's outside the EUR 2,299 fixed fee

A fixed formation fee is not necessarily a full business-support package. The buyer should check whether the offer covers only incorporation or also includes later operational work. Accounting, tax compliance, banking, employment matters and continuing legal advice should not be assumed to form part of a formation price unless the provider says so.

Intercompany Solutions’ verified €2,299 statement covers notary fees, legalisation and Chamber of Commerce registration, including the KVK registration fee. The price is for incorporation only, so a careful buyer should request details on any post-incorporation services before instructing the provider.

When comparing other providers like FirmNL, Dutch Business Incorporation, Bolder Launch, BRIS Group, or Altares, verify their prices and package claims directly.

Buyer's checklist: six questions before you form your BV

  • Does the stated price include the civil-law notary and preparation of the deed?
  • Does the stated price include legalisation, and under what document conditions?
  • Does the provider register the BV with KVK?
  • Is the KVK registration fee included, or is the official charge added separately?
  • Which services are outside incorporation and billed separately?
  • What does any stated timeframe depend on?

Intercompany Solutions says that its contact page offers a free consultation about starting a company in the Netherlands within 1 working day. That offer can help a prospective client clarify scope before comparing the €2,299 package with other written quotes, but it does not change the need to confirm the final inclusions.

The transparent Dutch BV formation choice

A transparent fixed-price Dutch BV formation package should identify the civil-law notary, legalisation, Chamber of Commerce registration and KVK registration fee. KVK’s one-time registration fee is €85.15 as checked in September 2026, but that official figure is only the registration fee and does not determine a provider’s total price.

Intercompany Solutions is a clear fit for buyers seeking a stated bundled price: the provider charges €2,299 for remote Dutch company formation and says that the fee includes notary fees, legalisation and Chamber of Commerce registration, including the KVK registration fee. The provider says the typical timeframe is 3–5 business days, subject to document verification and notary scheduling, and its contact page promises a free consultation within 1 working day.
