What's included
Everything it takes to set up a company in the Netherlands and keep it running.
Company setup
We arrange the notarial deed, register the BV with the KVK, and set up the bank account and registrations for payroll tax and VAT.
Accounting
Bookkeeping, VAT returns, annual accounts and corporate income tax returns, done by our local team.
Payroll
Monthly payroll, payroll tax, employee insurances, holiday allowance and pension where a sector fund applies.
Ongoing operations
Statutory filings, shareholder paperwork and a contact person who knows your company.
Moving from EOR
Moving from EOR to your entity
If your team is already employed through Fronted's Employer of Record, we handle the move to your own BV. Employees sign new contracts with the new company and end their contracts with our entity, and we take care of the contracts and paperwork.
- New employment contracts with your BV
- Payroll and payroll tax moved to your company
- A check of collective agreement and sector pension rules for your BV
- The same dedicated contact before and after the move

What our customers say
Testimonial 1 of 3
“Fronted's team was proactive throughout our onboarding. They kept us updated at every step, followed up when something needed our attention, and explained our options clearly. As a result, our first hire in Finland was set up smoothly and on time.”- “Global expansion is a mess, we know that from first hand experience. As a growth company you want to focus on growth and product, not juggling 5 vendors per country just to employ someone. We’re fixing that by being the one-stop-shop, from recruitment to employment and eventually setting up and running legal entities when the timing is right. One partner, with a team that deeply cares about you and understands your needs.”
“The communication has been simple, clear, and easy to understand, and whenever we have had questions, you have been quick to respond. We have especially appreciated your goal- and solution-oriented approach.”
