Summary
Registered office address in Rotterdam
Starting a business overseas is exciting. Since it is a requirement to start a business in the Netherlands, one of the most important things you need to do is to register a local office. This is especially important for startups that are yet to open a proper office in Rotterdam.
​
From as little as €75 per month! House of Companies offers a registered office service in Rotterdam that includes virtual office solutions.
​
If you want to start a business in Rotterdam, you must have a registered office address, this is so that you can get legal, and government letters and documents.
​
If you would like to take any local and international calls to your company, and have meeting- and work-spaces where you can meet clients and run your business in the Netherlands, you will need to have a full-time reception desk. This is not just a nice-to-have, but also a requirement for a registered office.
​
However, you don’t require all of these from the very first day you open your doors for business. This is why the registered office solutions that House of Companies offers is the perfect solution when setting up a business in Rotterdam. This gives you time to properly plan and set up your new registered office in the Netherlands
​
As long as the location of your office meets certain conditions set out by the Dutch Chamber of Commerce and local tax authorities, you can use our registered office service for whichever period you require. We work with only the most reputable locations that comply with these regulations in Rotterdam. This gives you peace of mind that everything is legal and above-board.
​
NOTE: Having only a registered office in Rotterdam, unfortunately doesn’t guarantee that your business will qualify as being a ‘tax resident’ in the Netherlands. Speak to one of our consultants for more about becoming a ‘tax resident’ in the Netherlands.
​
House of Companies will give you complete support relating to our virtual and registered office solutions and locations in Rotterdam. A growing business needs more office space, and once you have hit that milestone, we can help you to rent an independent office. If you prefer to build your business slowly, we can help you to rent office space in a reputable business center.
​
How do I get a registered office address in Rotterdam? The first step is to complete our easy order form. The good news is that you don’t have to have a fully-fledged Dutch company yet — all we will need is a copy of your passport and proof of residential address via email to get the ball rolling. If you do have a Dutch company, such as a Dutch BV, or when you have already set up your business in the Netherlands, then you can simply send us your company registration documents.
