Thank you for the advice Ron

Hi all, I am considering to open a BV and I am trying to estimate what the absolute minimum operational costs are. I know the costs involved to register it, but I'd like to understand, in case the company does not make profit or not soon enough, what are the costs I would still be liable for, for example, after the first year. If there's no profit, how much would I pay for the revenue generated on the first year? How much am I obligated to pay to the director/s of the BV at minimum? Is there any cost to have in mind apart of the accountant and operational costs? Thank you in advance Javier C

Thank you for your insights Ward. I suspected the same thing, and it's good to have it verified. I also learned that getting a Dutch bank account could be challenging nowadays. Thanks!

Hi Derek-Jan, thank you very much. I'm not sure if it is the same situation, in this case I would like have a Dutch online shop for Dutch customers and eventually delivery to other EU countries. In any case, I'm happy to chat about it if you don't mind.

Thanks Jeroen! Yes, it would be an online shop targeted to NL customers (and eventually EU) But I am not registered in NL anymore ( I do have BSN and DigiD as I lived in NL in the past). I spend a month per year in NL but I would mostly run it from abroad, eventually with help from someone living in NL

Thank you very much, Ron. I that might well be the case. I'll get in touch with KvK to find our more.

Hi all, I would like advice on the following: I am about to start a digital business in NL but I live abroad. The KvK business registration form asks for a mandatory address in NL to move on, but I don't live in NL so I don't have any. I have friends and family in NL but I would prefer not to use their address for privacy reasons. Is there any custom way to workaround this, like a PO box or virtual office service that any of you know of? Is using a PO Box allowed as a postal address for a business registration in NL? Thank you in advance, Javier
