DAFT - Establish and build your business in the Netherlands

A direct strategic plan to evolve your sole proprietorship into a professional limited company structure.

Transitioning from a sole proprietorship (ZZP) to a private limited company (BV) is a strategic step for entrepreneurs whose businesses have outgrown their initial structure. This conversion establishes a corporate shield that separates personal assets from business liabilities, protecting private wealth while creating a professional infrastructure ready for scaling.This process ensures that the business project remains solid from the beginning

The transition begins with a practical analysis of the current business model to determine which of the three Dutch conversion methods is most advantageous for the specific situation:<ol><li>Activa-Passiva Transactie: The simplest and quickest path, involving the sale of specific assets and liabilities to a new BV at market value.</li><li>Geruisloze Inbreng (Silent Contribution): A tax-neutral method that allows the business to continue at existing book values, deferring immediate tax on hidden reserves and goodwill.</li><li>Ruisende Inbreng (Noisy Contribution): A taxable transfer at market value that allows the BV to start with a higher tax base for future depreciation.</li></ol>

Founders achieve a seamless transition without the common mistakes or delays that can occur when navigating Dutch law alone or by someone who is not an expert.The result is a robust corporate entity that can fully leverage the Netherlands' liberal tax regime and liability protection.
