Daxto.com, thank you very much for your reply and lovely website, I love the owl. I think I now understand the spirit of the law, so at least I feel I have a mental model for how this all works thanks to you and Joost. I myself don't really know the other field of activity exactly. There is a friend who has a different business and might want to involve me as well in some capacity, but it's largely logistics (like shipping of goods). We haven't really talked about it extensively, but I had it in the back of my mind that a company has a declared sector in which it operates, and I wasn't sure if I could get involved without the overhead of another BV. Either way, it's not cupcakes or anything that should require special permits. Even if it is, I am now aware of it. Thanks again!

Thank you very much, Joost! For some reason, I could not find this information clearly stated anywhere, at least not in English. This is fantastic, thank you!

Hello and apologies for the English, mijn nederlands is nog niet zo geweldig. I am the DGA (directeur-grootaandeelhouder) in a BV that operates in the IT sector. Is it possible for my BV to also, hypothetically, start doing business in a completely differeny field of activity? As an example, selling paper and printers on top of the IT work. If not, what would be the options? Can I open another BV with myself as the director, or maybe a holding BV? As far as I am aware from the legislation of other countries, you cannot operate in two unrelated fields, but I would like to know specifically for the Netherlands. If you can point me to any Dutch information, that would be sufficient. I was just unable to find the exact terminology for this particular case. Much appreciated!
