Company formation

Can a UK company set up a subsidiary in the Netherlands?

Beyond Consultancy

Yes. A UK company can generally establish a Dutch BV (besloten vennootschap, the Dutch private limited company structure) as a wholly owned subsidiary. The Dutch BV is a separate legal entity from the UK parent company, with its own Dutch company registration (KVK), accounting records and Dutch tax obligations, even though it is 100% owned and controlled by the UK business.
