Expansion

Land in the Netherlands without the BV question

Build a small Dutch team while market entry is still a hypothesis. Our EOR partner carries the legal vehicle; you decide on incorporation when the numbers say so.

What you get

A Dutch employer of record

Every contract is local, compliant, and indemnified through our certified EOR partner. You appear nowhere on the loonheffing filings.

A consistent commercial wrapper

One TCE rate, one invoice currency, one accounts contact across all your Dutch hires.

A path to incorporation

When you're ready, our parent firm Intercompany Solutions stands up the BV and we transition contracts cleanly.

Three expansion phases we cover

Phase 1

Discovery

1-3 hires under EOR. Test the market, validate sales, learn the local norms. No fixed costs beyond per-employee fees.

Phase 2

Scale

4-15 hires. We model break-even on incorporation, manage benefits harmonisation, and start preparing the entity case.

Phase 3

Local entity

Intercompany Solutions incorporates the BV; we migrate contracts to your own payroll without service interruption.

Not sure whether to incorporate yet?

We'll model the break-even with our parent firm's tax team - fees, payroll volume, deductibility - and recommend the moment to switch.
