The answer to this question is actually very straightforward and simple: doing business in Holland is almost always a profitable endeavor. The country is very open to foreign entrepreneurs and investors, and due to this diversity, the business climate is thriving. The country is also very centrally located and a member state of the European Union (EU), allowing foreigners to do business within the EU freely. There are ample opportunities for growth and expansion, whilst you can also strive towards partnerships with other interesting companies and individuals. Due to this popularity, the Netherlands has in recent years established itself as a regional headquarters for many large foreign companies. Those companies have then branched out and generated smaller businesses.
Subsequently, these smaller businesses thrived, grew, and produced a ‘need’ for registered addresses in the Netherlands, a requirement imposed by the Dutch Company Law. This governing body, also known as the Company Act of Holland, covers taxation and compliance, bankruptcy, mergers and acquisitions. Thus, registered business addresses were born out of that necessity: doing business from a remote location while maintaining a viable Dutch office address, in one of the hottest business centers in Europe.
The Netherlands boasts a very good credit rating. Moody’s credit rating of the Netherlands is AAA and stable, Standard and Poor’s credit rating of the Netherlands is AAA and stable and the same Fitch credit rating of AAA and stable is a superior reason to do business in that country. The Netherlands' AAA rating is supported by a high value-added, flexible and open economy, a structurally strong external position and effective institutions, as reflected in the World Bank's governance indicators. The benefit of these ratings increases the possibility that foreign investors will favor your business, which can give you easy access to monetary funds from inside as well as outside the country. The Dutch Government has a dedicated website for foreign entrepreneurs and also for general matters.
When you compare the cost of having a registered office in the Netherlands against having an actual office space in a modern or even not so desirable building, the price/quality ratio is extremely different. Hiring your own private space is exceptionally expensive in the Netherlands, especially in large cities such as Amsterdam and Rotterdam, whereas renting a registered business address costs you only a fraction of the monthly rent. Next to that, there are costs such as various appliances, employee costs, buying and maintaining furniture and equipment needed for the physical office, paying electric and heating bills, snow removal, janitorial services and other usual costs of using a physical office space. This can be a massive disadvantage to owning an office space, particularly for entrepreneurs who wish to stay flexible and on the move.
So, the alternative to renting an office space is apparently a so-called registered business address. But what exactly is a business address when you don’t rent an office? It is generally an office space that a third party rents and manages, such as Esystart Office. You can then set up a contract to 'rent' this address, which you can either use as the address for registration at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, or simply as a postal address if you already own a company registration address.
A postal address is often compared to a virtual office. Setting up a virtual office in the Netherlands with Easystart Office is also a possibility, when you don’t need a registration address. There are many reasons why a company could consider setting up a virtual office, and Easystart Rotterdam can assist you in that endeavor. If you don’t have a registration address yet, we strongly advise you to combine both services. Why? Because virtual offices are excellent communication infrastructures that offer many convenient services. The following are some of the available services that we offer for foreign entrepreneurs when their business is located in the Netherlands, while you are located in a different city, country or travelling abroad:
The Netherlands has the best optimal combination between the intensity of international trading capacities and the geographical reach to actually distribute goods. The position of the country within the European continent provides investors with the opportunity to base their trade and shipping activities close to one of the dominant shipping ports, or the well-known Schiphol airport. Consumer confidence is very high in the Dutch nation and the fact that the citizens of the small country are multicultural, multilingual and have a friendly, welcoming business sense is just one more reason to open a business in the Netherlands.
Lastly, when a new Dutch company begins its business and becomes registered at a Dutch business registration address, this is considered to be a perfect solution for investors who want to start doing business on the Dutch market without having to be housed in a physical building. The low costs of a Rotterdam or Amsterdam registration address are extremely attractive and can subsequently save the company from other very undesirable costs. One day, when your business is growing and turns into a huge success, you and your family can come and visit the country and interact with all the wonderful people who reside there. But, until then, you can conduct your business remotely from the comfort of your own home or other location in your own country whilst operating your company from a premier location in Europe.
We do not only offer business registration addresses. In addition to providing you with multiple top-quality locations to register your business at, we also offer an ample amount of extra services aimed at simplifying your daily business activities. For example, we have a post-forwarding service that you can accustom to your preferences, the possibility of acquiring a local telephone number with a forwarding service, secretarial services and many more interesting options.

If you are in the vicinity of one of our locations, you can also work physically in our coworking spaces.
