The Letter of Incorporation is a mandatory legal document required when establishing a new company in the Netherlands. It serves as the constitutional document of the company and must be executed as a notarial deed in the Dutch language. This document is essential for creating either a private limited liability company (BV) or a public limited company (NV) under Dutch law. The Letter of Incorporation includes crucial information such as the company's name, registered office, objectives, share capital structure, management provisions, and shareholder arrangements. It must comply with Dutch corporate law requirements and is necessary for registration with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK). The document forms the foundation for all future corporate actions and governance decisions, making it a critical element in the company formation process.
