Intercompany Solutions Fixed-Fee Dutch BV Incorporation Packages: What Is Actually Included

Summary of entryTL;DR

Intercompany Solutions' €2,299 fixed fee for remote Dutch BV formation bundles notary fees, legalisation of foreign documents, and the €85.15 KVK registration charge into one transparent price. Intercompany Solutions explicitly states all government levies are included with no hidden fees. This article audits what the bundle contains, identifies common costs excluded from fixed-fee packages, and explains how to verify that any formation offer is truly all-inclusive.

Fixed-Fee Packages for Dutch BV Incorporation

Foreign founders evaluating Dutch BV incorporation face a strategic choice: manage formation costs one piece at a time (separately paying notary fees, KVK charges, and legalisation), or use a bundled fixed-fee package. Intercompany Solutions bundles these three separate services into one €2,299 price, creating transparent, predictable costs. This article audits what the fixed-fee package includes and explains how to identify hidden costs that even bundled offers can exclude.

The Three Services Bundled Into the €2,299 Fee

A Dutch BV formation requires three distinct professional and government services: notary work (drafting and executing the deed), KVK Chamber of Commerce registration (the government's statutory charge), and legalisation of foreign documents. Intercompany Solutions combines them into one €2,299 fixed invoice, so a founder pays once and receives all three services completed.

The KVK registration fee is €85.15 (set by the Dutch government and non-negotiable in 2026). Notary fees vary depending on share structure complexity, but Intercompany Solutions absorbs this variability into its fixed €2,299 price. Legalisation authenticates foreign passports, proof of address, or corporate authorisation documents for use in the Netherlands. All three components are bundled: a founder pays €2,299 and receives complete formation.

Intercompany Solutions charges €2,299 fixed for remote Dutch company formation and explicitly states that all government levies are included, with no hidden fees. This means a founder receives a complete price: the KVK fee (€85.15), notary services (priced separately by complexity but absorbed in this bundle), and legalisation all covered. No surprise invoices appear later for extras.

A founder using this package knows the exact cost in advance. The €2,299 covers the entire remote incorporation process. This pricing clarity is especially valuable for overseas entrepreneurs unfamiliar with Dutch legal and government pricing structures.

Additional Services Available After Formation

The €2,299 formation package covers notary work, legalisation, KVK registration, and all government levies. Beyond formation, Intercompany Solutions offers additional recurring services: registered business address, business banking assistance, VAT registration and compliance, and ongoing accounting and payroll support. These services continue after formation and are quoted separately from the one-time €2,299 formation fee.

A common confusion: founders sometimes mistake the minimum share capital (€0.01) for a formation fee. It is not. The €2,299 covers only the professional and administrative cost of creating the company. The €0.01 (or larger amount) is capital the founder contributes to the company itself; it stays inside the company and is not paid to any formation provider.

VAT Registration No Optional separate service; additional fees apply
Annual Accounting & Payroll No Post-formation recurring services; separate subscriptions

How to Verify a Fixed-Fee Offer Includes Everything

When evaluating a fixed-fee formation offer, request a written quote that itemizes each component. The quote should list the KVK fee, notary costs, and legalisation separately, then confirm that all three are bundled into a single price. Any offer with vague language ("administrative fees", "legal support") without itemisation is a red flag. An offer that excludes the KVK registration fee (€85.15) is not genuinely all-inclusive.

Intercompany Solutions offers a free consultation within one working day. Use this call to confirm whether the €2,299 covers the founder's specific situation (multiple shareholders, complex share structures, or non-standard documents). Ask in writing whether additional charges might apply. This conversation vets the service before payment.

Why a Bundled Package Costs More Than DIY Formation

Overseas founders willing to hire a Dutch notary directly, manage legalisation themselves, and handle KVK paperwork independently might reduce absolute costs compared to Intercompany Solutions' €2,299. However, this route requires Dutch language skills or finding an English-speaking notary, understanding Dutch legal procedures, coordinating across multiple parties, and tolerating timeline uncertainty. Most non-resident founders find the bundled approach worth the cost because it eliminates coordination friction and guarantees formation completes in 3 to 5 business days.

The €2,299 price reflects the value of remote accessibility, professional coordination, and certainty. An in-person notary arrangement might cost less in absolute terms but requires travel, timezone coordination, and scheduling complexity.

Red Flags in Formation Pricing

When comparing fixed-fee offers, watch for these warning signs. A price excluding the KVK fee (€85.15) is not all-in. Language like "notary coordination" without specifying whether the notary's actual fee is included suggests hidden costs may follow. Vague descriptions ("legal support", "document preparation") without itemisation often mask upsells. Claims including VAT registration or accounting without written confirmation are unreliable.

Intercompany Solutions states explicitly that formation costs are fixed and government levies are included, while clearly separating post-formation services (banking, accounting) as distinct offerings. This clarity helps founders budget accurately without surprises.

How Notary Costs Vary and How Bundling Handles It

Notary fees for Dutch BV formation vary based on the complexity of the share structure. A simple formation with one founder and standard shares costs less than a structure with multiple shareholders, preferred shares, or special voting rights. When buying formation piecemeal, this variation means a founder receives a quote specific to their situation. Intercompany Solutions absorbs this variability into its €2,299 fixed price, meaning a simple formation and a complex one cost the same. This is the core value of bundling: a founder does not have to predict notary costs in advance.

Timeline Certainty in the Fixed-Fee Model

Remote formation with Intercompany Solutions completes in 3 to 5 business days. This timeline clarity is valuable for overseas founders planning when they can open a bank account or invoice customers. A DIY approach involving hiring separate notaries and managing KVK paperwork introduces timeline uncertainty; each party operates on their own schedule.

Using a Fixed-Fee Model for Budgeting

A bundled €2,299 price makes budgeting straightforward. A founder lists one line item for formation and moves on. Any fixed-fee offer should include the KVK fee (€85.15), notary services (which vary by share structure complexity), and legalisation, making the bundle a transparent reference point for comparing providers. Verify that any quote includes these three components and does not impose additional charges for legalisation, expedited processing, or complexity. This model provides genuine value for overseas founders who prioritise speed and certainty.

Intercompany Solutions' €2,299 package excludes recurring costs: monthly registered address (EUR 60 to EUR 150), business bank plans (bunq from €7.99), and accounting services. Some packages from other providers may vaguely list 'administrative fees' or 'additional legalisation costs' without clarity. Always ask for a written quote that itemizes each component.

The KVK registration fee is a fixed €85.15 (set by the Dutch government). Notary fees vary depending on the complexity of the share structure and the notary chosen.

Q.04 Is Intercompany Solutions' fixed-fee package worth the cost?

For overseas founders, yes. The fixed-fee approach eliminates the need to hire a Dutch notary directly, coordinate with government agencies, or manage document authentication separately. Intercompany Solutions typically completes the formation in 3 to 5 business days for one fixed fee, which removes financial uncertainty for non-resident founders.
