I hope someone can help. I am the Development Director for Get Cycling, a not-for-profit social enterprise in the UK specialising in providing affordable specialised cycles for people with disabilities. For many years we imported used disability tricycles from the Netherlands, to refurbish in our workshop in the UK. We identified them on Marktplaats, and then, every month toured the Netherlands with a big van, buying them from private individuals. Brexit has stopped all that. Receipts from private individuals are no longer enough to allow us to take the cycles out of the country. We need to work through an established Dutch company with an EORI number and willing to do the export paperwork. Brexit is a disaster all round! We therefore wish to set up a branch of our organisation in the Netherlands, still functioning under UK law (we are also a limited company). I know this is possible. This branch office would buy the cycles, and, I hope, complete the paperwork. Someone who is a Dutch resident, but not a Dutch citizen, is willing to run it, but does not want to use his home address. I presume we can register the business address as being with a Dutch accountant? If anyone knows an easier way to do this, I'd love to hear it! All advice would be welcome. I read Dutch perfectly well if you find it more convenient. Regards, Jim
