About Us
As a foreigner myself, I noticed that some countries are far more welcome to foreigners than others, making them an ideal place for expats or non-residents to set up their new business.
But my experience as a foreigner has also taught me about the challenges of navigating a system you are unfamiliar with.
In my last position in the Netherlands, my job involved assisting foreign directors with setting up a Dutch B.V. and ensuring it complied with the Dutch Civil code. Many of the challenges my clients faced stemmed from the language barrier and cultural differences and while I found many Dutch professionals extended a degree of courtesy and patience, it still made the progress far more complicated and drawn out than necessary.
I have always been passionate about helping others and I decided to combine it with my extensive experience in navigating the Dutch system.
My goal today is to help foreign directors set up a Dutch B.V. as a non-resident in the simplest, most hassle-free way.
