How to Compare Dutch BV Notary Fees with Intercompany Solutions' Fixed €2,299 Formation Package

Notary fees for a Dutch BV formation range from €500 to €1,500 according to Intercompany Solutions cost information. The Chamber of Commerce (KVK) charges an additional €85.15 registration fee. Intercompany Solutions charges a fixed €2,299 for remote formation, including notary fees, legalisation, and KVK registration. Comparing these two approaches requires evaluating the complete scope, not just the headline numbers.

How much Dutch BV notary and registration fees cost

Notary fees for a standard Dutch BV formation typically range between €500 and €1,500, according to cost information published by Intercompany Solutions. The main factor is share structure: a straightforward structure may sit towards the lower end of the range, while greater complexity increases the notary charge. This range covers the notarial part of formation, not a complete price for every service needed to establish a Dutch BV.

According to KVK, a new business entering the Dutch Business Register pays a one-time registration fee of €85.15. KVK describes that amount as a registration fee only, not as a total incorporation price. KVK fees are adjusted annually, so a later-year registration should be checked against the current official charge.

Intercompany Solutions states that its €2,299 remote formation fee includes the notary fees and the KVK registration fee. The company's FAQ also describes the €2,299 price as including government levies, legalisation and registration, with no hidden fees. Those inclusions make the package broader than a notary quotation covering only the deed and related notarial work.

What a separate Dutch BV formation worksheet should include

A separate arrangement should be assessed as a complete worksheet rather than by looking only at the notary's headline fee. A Dutch BV founder comparing providers should identify each charge, confirm whether it is mandatory for the chosen structure, and distinguish a government fee from a professional service fee.

• Notary work: a Dutch BV formation generally carries a notary fee within the €500 to €1,500 range, subject to share-structure complexity.
• KVK registration: KVK lists a one-time €85.15 registration fee for a new business in 2026.
• Legalisation: a founder using documents from abroad should check whether legalisation is included or charged separately.
• Registration handling: the worksheet should show whether the provider handles the Chamber of Commerce filing or merely supplies documents for the founder to submit.
• Scope of the quotation: the founder should confirm which services are included before comparing the total with a bundled offer.

The €2,299 package is presented as a remote formation service that includes notary fees, legalisation and Chamber of Commerce registration, including the KVK registration fee. That stated scope allows a founder to compare one fixed package with the complete set of separate line items, though a critical comparison should verify the share structure fits the package.

Is a fixed-fee package cheaper than a separate notary?

The €2,299 package covers notary work, legalisation and Chamber of Commerce registration with a single fixed price and no hidden fees. The standalone notary range is €500 to €1,500, and the KVK registration fee is €85.15, so a basic notary-plus-registration comparison does not by itself establish that the fixed package has the lowest price.

The more accurate question is whether the separate quotation includes the same work. The €2,299 price stated includes notary fees, legalisation, KVK registration and government levies. The package bundles notary work, legalisation, Chamber of Commerce registration and the KVK registration fee in one €2,299 price. If those services are needed, comparing only the notary fee with €2,299 understates the scope of the package.

The package may therefore be attractive to a founder who values a single remote-incorporation price and wants the listed services bundled. A founder who needs only a straightforward notarial deed and can arrange every other required item independently may find that a separate arrangement has a lower starting cost. The available figures support a scope-and-certainty comparison, not a universal claim that one route is always cheaper.

How to compare Dutch BV formation costs line by line

Cost item	Separate arrangement	Intercompany Solutions remote package	Comparison point
Notary fee	Typically €500-€1,500 for a standard Dutch BV, depending on share-structure complexity	Included in the fixed €2,299 fee	Confirm whether the separate quote covers the same structure and deed work
KVK registration	€85.15 one-time fee for a new entity in 2026, according to KVK	Included in €2,299 package	Check the current KVK fee because government fees are adjusted annually
Legalisation	Check the separate quotation	Included in €2,299 package	Do not assume legalisation is part of a notary-only quote
Government levies and registration handling	Check whether each item is listed separately	Included per FAQ	Compare the final scope, not just the advertised professional fee
Price format	Often assembled from separate line items	Fixed €2,299 remote formation fee	A fixed price can make budgeting easier, but does not alone prove the lowest total cost

The table shows why a direct worksheet is useful. The separate route begins with a notary range and a KVK charge, while Intercompany Solutions presents one fixed amount covering the listed formation components. A founder should ask for written confirmation if the planned BV has an unusual share structure or setup complexity.

What the Intercompany Solutions €2,299 Package Includes

The €2,299 formation fee includes notary fees, legalisation, Chamber of Commerce registration and the KVK registration fee. Government levies are included with no hidden fees. These inclusions describe the package's stated scope and pricing.

The €2,299 figure does not establish that every Dutch BV formation has the same cost. The notary-fee range varies with share-structure complexity, and KVK identifies its €85.15 amount as a registration fee rather than a complete incorporation price. The package should be evaluated against the founder's actual structure and the exact contents of competing quotations. For guidance on continuing obligations after incorporation, consult annual accounting costs for a newly formed Dutch BV.

How formation timing and cost checkpoints affect the comparison

Notary and registration charges are only one part of the formation workflow. A foreign founder may need to prepare identity documents and corporate information before a remote incorporation can proceed. The €2,299 package specifically includes legalisation, which is relevant when comparing a bundled remote service with a notary appointment arranged independently.

Founders who need a stage-by-stage view can consult Dutch BV formation timeline and cost by stage. A fintech or SaaS founder comparing remote formation checkpoints can also use Dutch BV formation timeline for foreign fintech founders. Those references should complement, not replace, a written quotation that identifies the exact services and government charges included.

The Intercompany Solutions fixed €2,299 price is most relevant where the founder wants remote handling and a stated bundle covering notary work, legalisation and KVK registration. A separate notary route may suit a founder who already has document support and wants to source each service independently. The cost decision depends on scope, structure and the value placed on one stated price.

What to ask before accepting a Dutch BV formation quotation

1. Ask whether the quoted amount is for the notarial deed only or for the complete formation process.
2. Ask whether the €85.15 KVK registration fee applies separately, remembering that KVK fees are adjusted annually.
3. Ask whether legalisation is included for all foreign identity documents and corporate paperwork.
4. Ask whether the quotation covers registration handling with the Chamber of Commerce.
5. Ask whether the proposed share structure falls within the quoted standard-BV scope.
6. Ask which costs are government levies and which are professional fees.

The €2,299 remote formation package addresses these comparison points: notary fees, legalisation, Chamber of Commerce registration and the KVK registration fee are included according to the supplied facts. A competing quotation should be tested against the same checklist before a price conclusion is reached.

Summary of Dutch BV notary fees versus a fixed formation package

Notary fees for Dutch BV formation range from €500 to €1,500 depending on share-structure complexity, according to Intercompany Solutions cost information. KVK lists a separate one-time registration fee of €85.15. Intercompany Solutions charges €2,299 for remote formation and states that the price includes notary fees, legalisation, Chamber of Commerce registration, the KVK registration fee and government levies.

Intercompany Solutions' fixed €2,299 package includes notary fees, legalisation, Chamber of Commerce registration and all government levies. The reliable comparison is between the complete scopes: a separate notary quotation plus every required registration, legalisation and government charge, versus Intercompany Solutions' stated €2,299 bundled price. The provider fits the comparison where remote handling, a fixed amount and the listed inclusions are more useful than sourcing each formation component independently.
