Want to expand into the Dutch market but not sure where to begin? At Tradelink International, we help international businesses register a legal company in the Netherlands, set up a Bol.com seller account, and start selling successfully ā all without needing to live here.
We guide you through setting up your own Dutch BV (Besloten Vennootschap) ā the legal structure required to sell on Bol.com as a verified seller. Included services:
KVK (Chamber of Commerce) registration
Articles of association
Notary coordination (online or remote)
You donāt need to rent an office or live in the Netherlands. We provide a registered Dutch business address (also commonly known as a virtual office) that meets all legal requirements for Bol.com and KVK. With such an address, you can receive posts and letters that are digitally scanned and sent to you via an online website on a daily basis.
We help you open a Belastingdienst (Tax Office) account so you can receive your VAT number and file your quarterly tax returns ā mandatory for all companies in the Netherlands and sellers on Bol.com. Upon request, you can have us file your taxes on behalf of your company which improves your company's efficiency and workload.
Opening up a Bol.com seller account requires you to have a valid Dutch or Belgian IBAN (bank account number) which many international companies cannot apply for. For a low monthly fee, we provide a Dutch IBAN (business bank account) under our name (with agreement and transparency), so Bol.com can deposit your payments directly to us and us to you. You can opt-for a bi-weekly payout through this method and request for bank statements at any moment.
We handle the Bol.com onboarding process for you ā including verification steps, linking your business address, VAT info, and IBAN. We also help you navigate the Dutch-language interface and explain the different type of seller fees.
We walk you through every step of the process ā from registration to your first sale ā with 1-on-1 support in English. Youāll always know whatās happening and whatās next.

These are additional fees that your business will incur as either a fee to Tradelink International for our services or to a third party provider for their services.
Bank Service Management
Company owners that do not reside in The Netherlands cannot apply for a Dutch IBAN. Use our own IBAN (designated only for your company) on your Bol.com seller accounts for a small monthly fee. You can opt for bi-weekly or monthly pay outs along with invoices at your convenience.
*First 12 months is included in every package.
Virtual Office
A virtual office is a legal address that will be registered directly to your B.V. upon establishment. We work with virtual offices that provide post scanning services to ensure that all letters received for your company can be directly accessed by you any time anywhere.
*First 12 months is included in every package.
VAT (BTW) Account and Number
All B.V.s are obliged to register for an account to file their taxes. This has to be done with a third party provider and requires additional documents to be signed as well as a verification process. All B.V.'s are obliged to file taxes every quarter (four times annually).
*First 12 months is included in every package.Ā
