- 01
First BV (solo founder)
Your first BV. Solo, without the noise.
For founders setting up a BV for the first time. One shareholder at the start, no co-founders, no investors. Done quickly, with a low maintenance fee.
- 02
With co-founders
With co-founders. Cap table from day 1.
For founding teams of 2 to 5 founders. Every co-founder gets the right percentage straight away, in a register that is audit-proof.
- 03
With investors
With investors. Ready for the first round.
For founders who will work with outside investors, angels, VCs or strategic parties. SAFEs, rounds and option plans require a clean, shareable register.
- 04
Holding structure
Holding structure. Two BVs at once, one process.
An operating BV plus a personal holding company above it, in one notarial act. The right structure for founders with serious growth or exit plans.
- 05
Property BV
Set up a property BV. A separate entity for real estate.
For anyone holding property in a separate BV, often combined with a holding company. Notarial incorporation, articles of association suited to property activities.
- 06
Existing BV
Existing BV. Just the digital register, no incorporation.
Already have a BV? Then you don't need to incorporate again to use the Digital Notary register. We migrate your register from Excel to Nxchange.
- 07
Foreign founders
Foreign founders. What's possible, what isn't.
Non-Dutch residents can usually set up a Dutch BV via Digital Notary, provided they get through eIDAS identification. Here's what is and isn't possible.
