Starting a business

There are many reasons for starting your business in the Netherlands. The Netherlands are one of the best countries for technology and innovation and are one of the most open economies in the world. Besides the Netherlands have;

an attractive tax climate for foreign businesses;
the Dutch tax system features several tax incentives to stimulate innovation and business activities;
outstanding infrastructure and Europe’s largest port;
internationally oriented country;
many highly educated and skilled workers.

As you can see the Netherlands has a competitive tax environment and a friendly business environment, but it can be difficult to overcome complex tax, legal and regulatory hurdles without a Dutch specialist.
