The way entrepreneurs establish a Dutch BV has changed dramatically over the years. Thanks to new legislation and digital innovation, you can now incorporate your company entirely online—without visiting a notary in person. At Bolder Launch, we make this process simple, secure, and fast, so you can focus on growing your business.
Why Has the Process Changed?
The Netherlands implemented the Digital Incorporation Act (DOBV) in line with EU Directive 2019/1151. This law allows founders to set up a BV remotely, using secure digital identification and electronic signatures. The goal? Reduce administrative hurdles and make starting a business easier for entrepreneurs across Europe.
What Does Digital Incorporation Mean?
Digital incorporation means the entire process—from drafting your deed of incorporation to registering with the Chamber of Commerce—can be completed online. You no longer need to physically visit a notary’s office. Instead, the notary verifies your identity and oversees the signing of your incorporation deed via a secure online procedure.
This modernization keeps all the legal safeguards in place while saving you time and effort.
