With investors. Ready for the first round.

A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is a private-law agreement with a future conversion into shares. The SAFE itself is concluded outside the notary (no notarial deed required). We facilitate the templates and keep track of what needs to convert in a later round. At the moment of conversion, the issue is recorded notarially and the shares go into the collective depot. We support both post-money and pre-money SAFEs.

Four things: (1) clean articles of association suitable for multiple share classes (ready with Pro), (2) a recent cap table overview (exportable straight from the platform), (3) an audit-proof shareholder register (live), and (4) an ESOP pool reservation (preferably already set up at incorporation). We facilitate all of these. What we don't do: term sheet negotiation, due diligence on your side, tax advice. For that you need specialised counsel.

Yes. The Nxchange register and its audit trail are built precisely for due diligence. Investors' lawyers recognise the format straight away: it's the same infrastructure used for listed shares. Our experience: DD questions about the cap table and register are limited to 'is this right?' rather than 'can you reconstruct this?'.

On an exit, you sell the shares in the operating BV from your personal holding company (not as a private individual). Under the participation exemption, that sale is tax-free in the holding. You can park the gain in the holding, reinvest it, or distribute it tax-efficiently to yourself later. Without a holding you pay 26.9% box 2 tax on the entire exit proceeds immediately. For exits above €100K, that difference is large enough to consider Pro + Holding straight away.

Yes. Every shareholder, including investors, gets their own login. They see their own position, any option commitments, and the changes that affect their position. They do NOT see other shareholders' positions unless you give permission. Investors appreciate this transparency and like platforms that handle it as standard.

It works similarly. A convertible note is a loan repaid by converting into shares. The loan itself is recorded outside the notary (lawyer). The conversion in a later round is a notarial issue that we facilitate. For both SAFEs and convertible notes: make sure the cap table tracks pending conversions, or you'll get questions in DD that you can't answer.

Yes. An amendment to the articles of association is a notarial act we facilitate for €499. Our standard articles of association are already prepared for share classes; in many cases only an issue of a new class is needed, without a full revision. For a Series A with a liquidation preference, we handle this as standard in the closing.

At incorporation you reserve an ESOP pool in the articles of association (10 to 15% is standard). For each individual option grant we arrange vesting (typically four years with a one-year cliff), strike price and exercise conditions. The platform automatically tracks who holds how many options, what has vested and what flows back on departure. Tax-wise: in the Netherlands this works via SARs (Stock Appreciation Rights) or via share options. We guide the choice but don't give tax advice.

Yes. EU investors are identified via Sumsub like any other shareholder. Non-EU investors can take part too, but then there's an extra Wwft check (enhanced customer due diligence). For private investors this is usually not a problem; for funds we ask for the Limited Partnership Agreement or equivalent.

That's a separate route: a one-off migration of the existing cap table to the Nxchange register, plus a notarial act to record the form of registration. The setup depends on the complexity of your history (1 to 5 shareholders without historical changes: comparable to a Pro incorporation; more complex cap tables: a quote).
