Starting a business abroad offers opportunities — new markets and sometimes tax advantages, for example in Dubai — but also entails legal complexity. Local regulations, the right legal structure, and tax pitfalls require thorough preparation and advice, both here and on-site.
Why do business across the border?
More and more entrepreneurs are exploring markets outside the Netherlands. Globalization and digitalization make doing business internationally easier than ever, and tax considerations also play a role. Destinations like Dubai are popular. But 'easier' does not mean 'risk-free': every country has its own rules.
Choose the right legal form and structure
Different legal forms and rules apply abroad for establishing a business. The choice of structure determines, among other things, your liability, control, and tax treatment. A wrong or hasty choice can cost you dearly later on. Seek advice on the structure that suits your plans.
Pay attention to the tax aspects
Tax benefits are often a driving force, but taxation is complex. Tax treaties, the question of where your business is actually managed, and whether there is sufficient 'substance' determine where you pay tax. A paper relocation without actual presence can lead to additional assessments and problems. Discuss this carefully with tax specialists.
Local rules and contracts
Take into account local permits, labor regulations, contract law, and customs, which may differ significantly from what you are accustomed to. Ensure you have sound contracts that align with applicable law, and arrange for a choice of law and forum. Local legal assistance is indispensable in this regard.
