Nowadays, you can also incorporate a BV digitally, without physically visiting the notary. The notary remains involved and still plays a central role; only physical contact is no longer necessary. Authentication and security are paramount in this process.

Set up a BV digitally

Setting up a BV can be done online: you incorporate the company from your computer via a digital process. This makes it faster and more accessible, especially if you cannot easily come to the office.

The notary remains indispensable

Even with digital incorporation, the notary remains involved: he drafts the deed, verifies identity, and monitors legal requirements. His role therefore does not change fundamentally; only the physical visit to his office is eliminated. Notarial intervention remains an important safeguard.

Authentication and security

Because the process takes place online, reliable identification is crucial. A strong emphasis is placed on authentication and security to prevent fraud and ensure that the correct persons sign the deed. Please note that requirements apply to digital identification.

Think about the structure in advance

Whether you incorporate digitally or physically: content counts. Consider the articles of association, the shareholding structure, and, in the case of multiple shareholders, a shareholders' agreement. A solid legal foundation prevents future conflicts.
