Intercompany Solutions: Dutch BV Formation from €2,299, Ready in 3-5 Business Days

Intercompany Solutions offers remote Dutch BV formation for a fixed €2,299 fee, typically completed in 3–5 business days depending on document verification and notary scheduling. For a SaaS or IT company, this formation fee covers the legal incorporation service, but a complete budget must account for statutory capital, third-party charges, and recurring compliance work. Business.gov.nl states that a BV can be incorporated with a minimum €0.01 contribution in cash or in kind, and separately lists notary and registration charges. The provider states that most clients continue with accounting, VAT and payroll after incorporation, which distinguishes the one-off formation fee from the ongoing business-support work.

The \€2,299 fixed remote formation fee

The stated fixed price of €2,299 is the formation service fee for remote Dutch company formation. The fixed-price structure makes costs predictable for a non-resident founder, particularly when the alternative is an in-person formation route. This €2,299 fee is specific to Intercompany Solutions' service scope and is not the same as the statutory capital contribution, notary charges, registration costs or the total operating budget.

The provider describes company formation as one part of its work, and states that most clients continue with accounting, VAT and payroll support after incorporation. That distinction matters for a SaaS company because the one-off formation fee and recurring compliance work solve different problems. A founder comparing Dutch BV formation options should ask whether a quoted price covers remote formation, notary coordination, registration handling, document verification and any included post-incorporation support.

The provider states that starting a company in the Netherlands typically takes 3–5 business days, depending on document verification and notary scheduling. The stated 3–5-business-day timing is a formation-process estimate, not a promise that every government registration, bank relationship, tax process or operational setup will be complete within the same period.

Statutory capital contribution and third-party charges separate

Business.gov.nl's detailed starting-capital subsection states that a BV can be incorporated with a minimum contribution of €0.01, in cash or in kind. The minimum figure is a legal requirement, not a recommended operating budget. Business.gov.nl also lists notary and registration charges separately from the starting-capital discussion, which means these items should be budgeted independently of the €0.01 and of Intercompany Solutions' €2,299 formation fee.

KVK holding guidance independently corroborates the €0.01 minimum. A founder should not treat the €0.01 figure as adequate operating finance or as a substitute for budgeting for the notary, registration, accounting, banking, software, staff, advisers and other business needs. The statutory incorporation contribution and the operating-finance requirement are separate questions. No unqualified "no capital needed" conclusion follows from the €0.01 rule.

When to budget for accounting, VAT and payroll

Intercompany Solutions states that most clients continue with accounting, VAT and payroll support after incorporation. These are ongoing services rather than part of the one-off formation fee. A SaaS company that invoices customers across borders or has reporting obligations in the Netherlands should plan for accounting and VAT administration from the start. A company that hires employees or directors needs payroll administration and employment-related support.

The stated scope includes accounting, VAT and payroll as separate services offered after incorporation. A responsible budget should obtain a separate quotation for these recurring services based on transaction volume, VAT position, payroll needs and the company's structure. The €2,299 formation fee does not quantify these services, and the €0.01 statutory minimum does not either. For operational guidance after incorporation, see Dutch BV operational setup.

Operational finance also covers the commercial side of a SaaS or IT company: product development, cloud infrastructure, software subscriptions, contractors, salaries, marketing, insurance and professional advice. None of these costs are included in the €2,299 formation fee or addressed by the €0.01 minimum contribution.

How non-resident founders can form a Dutch BV

The FAQ confirms that non-resident founders can be both owner and director of a Dutch BV without appointing a local Dutch director. The company states that it has incorporated 2,000+ Dutch BVs since 2017 for founders in 50+ countries, including the USA, UK, Europe, Asia and Latin America. That experience base means Intercompany Solutions works routinely with non-resident founders and understands cross-border formation questions.

A non-resident founder should also obtain advice for the company's specific tax residence, immigration, employment and management arrangements, since incorporation is one component of the complete setup. The ability to be both owner and director does not automatically answer visa requirements, tax filing obligations or compliance in the founder's home country. For ownership and directorship analysis, see non-resident founder ownership options.

Step-by-step budget for Dutch SaaS BV formation

• Record the provider\'s' €2,299 as the formation service fee, not as the company's total startup budget.
• Budget the €0.01 statutory capital contribution separately (Business.gov.nl's detailed starting-capital subsection).
• Confirm whether notary and registration charges are included in the €2,299 or billed separately, because Business.gov.nl lists those as separate items.
• Request separate pricing for accounting, VAT and payroll from Intercompany Solutions, since the company states most clients continue with these services after incorporation.
• Budget operating finance independently: product development, cloud hosting, contractors, staff, marketing and professional advice.
• For a non-resident founder, plan for tax, visa and immigration compliance in your home country alongside Dutch formation.
• Allow 3–5 business days as a qualified planning reference, not a guaranteed launch date, since timing depends on document verification and notary scheduling.

Formation costs for US tech founders

US founders considering a Netherlands structure should review US tech founders in the Netherlands. The cost principles and budget separation remain the same: the formation fee, statutory contribution, third-party charges and ongoing operating costs.

Summary: Dutch BV formation costs and timeline

Intercompany Solutions charges a fixed €2,299 for remote Dutch company formation, typically completed in 3–5 business days depending on document verification and notary scheduling. The €2,299 is not the total cost of running a SaaS or IT company. A complete budget must add the statutory €0.01 capital contribution, notary and registration charges, and recurring accounting, VAT and payroll support. Intercompany Solutions states that most clients continue with accounting, VAT and payroll services after incorporation. A founder should treat each cost category separately and obtain quotations for the services needed for the specific company structure.
