Expanding business in the Netherlands

[Paulina Ka]

Does a foreign company have to set up a legal entity in the Netherlands in order to conduct business in the country in the temporary recruitment sector (i.e. source employees locally and internationally for Dutch clients)?

 

If yes, it is necessary to hire local staff in order to operate in the Netherlands?

 

Thank you

not necessarily. You can register a so-called permanent establishment. Best contact the Dutch Chamber of Commerce for the how and why: https://www.kvk.nl/english/
