• Is my registration address with Amsterdam Desk Company a valid address for the Chamber of Commerce?

  Yes, this registration address is valid. It meets all the requirements set by the Chamber of Commerce and the Tax and Customs Administration. You will get your own registration address at our own office address in Amsterdam.

• Do you also register my company with the Chamber of Commerce if I choose a registration address with you?

  Unfortunately we are not authorized to register your company with the Chamber of Commerce on your behalf. You will receive a contract from us and with this you must register your company with the Chamber of Commerce yourself. For exactly how this registration process works, we would like to refer you to the website of the Chamber of Commerce: www.kvk.nl.

• I would like to register for your services. How do I do that?

  If you contact us, we will process your registration within 24 hours. After acceptance, you can immediately use your contract at the Chamber of Commerce.

• Why do I need to send you my identification documents?

  According to the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act (WWFT), we are obliged to identify all our (potential) tenants, otherwise we are not allowed to offer our services. For more information about the WWFT go to: https://www.fiu-nederland.nl/nl/wetgeving/wetgeving-algemeen/wwft.

• I am not a Dutch citizen or resident? Can I still register?

  Yes, that is no problem at all. In fact, our customers come from all over the world. Start our registration procedure immediately and also make sure you send us the necessary foreign documents.

• How do I change my business address at the Chamber of Commerce?

  First sign a contract with us to get a registration address. You will need this contract in order to communicate a change of address to the Chamber of Commerce. This can easily be done online via DigiD or by making an appointment with the Chamber of Commerce yourself.

• My new company is still incorporated. What about the address?

  The Chamber of Commerce or a civil-law notary always need a contract (and in this case our contract) before they can register your company. Please follow our normal procedure. Not sure yet what the name of your company will be? Then fill in the expected company name. If you want to change your company name, please let us know as soon as possible.

• How soon will I receive the contract?

  We will make every effort to draw up the contract within 24 hours after we receive the necessary documents from you. Often you will receive your contract the same day!

• Can I register several companies at your address?

  That’s no problem with us!

• Do you also provide personal registration addresses?

  No, at Amsterdam Desk Company you can only get a registration address if it is required for registration with the Chamber of Commerce.

• Can I communicate this registration address on my own website?

  Of course, no problem. You can use the registration address on your website, but also on your business cards and invoices.

• Can I use the registration address in Amsterdam if I live in another city?

  That’s no problem either. Our registration addresses can be used at any branch of the Chamber of Commerce.

• What is the notice period of my contract?

  We use a notice period of 30 days.

• How can I pay you monthly?

  Amsterdam Desk Company accepts iDEAL, direct debit, bank transfer and credit card.

• Why do I have to pay VAT?
