Ellips Natuurlijke Cosmetica B.V. // --The facilitators will have the first call with you to clarify your business and the specific goals you have for the next 12 months of your business. A “jaarplan” (year plan) is crucial in this step.
After the first call, you will be invited to a second call with the startup visa coaches for a more detailed discussion about your business plan. You will also meet your mentor during this call.
After this second step, the facilitator will decide to continue with your application.
What documents are needed for the Dutch startup visa application?
After you get accepted by the facilitator, an application has to be filled out by the client. All foreign documents must be legalised and translated into Dutch, English, French or German.
Next, what is needed is a copy of the registration of the company in the trade register for the Chamber of Commerce (KvK).
A detailed step-by-step plan is required, consisting of the following information your your business:
- Structure
- Assigned roles and tasks
- Legal form of the business
- Personnel
- Purpose of the business
- Description of the idea for the product and services and why it is innovative
- Description of the development activities associated with setting up the company
- Details of the development activities planned for the first 12 months
- Detailed marketing plan and market analysis
Financial proof that you have sufficient financial resources to live and start your business in the Netherlands for a minimum of one year; this is due to startup entrepreneurs not being allowed to rely on public funds such as welfare benefits.
