How much share capital must I pay into a Dutch B.V.?

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

As little as €0.01, paid in cash or in kind. There is no statutory start-up capital, although banks and suppliers may take a larger capital as a sign of commitment. The capital is your money inside the company, not a fee, and it is separate from the US$8,899 formation price.
