Can I close a dormant B.V. quickly?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Yes, through fast-track liquidation, if the B.V. has no assets left at dissolution, including cash or money still owed to it. You file the dissolution resolution, a balance sheet and a profit and loss account with KVK. If a creditor later shows the conditions were not met, the former directors can be held liable.
