A BV (Besloten Vennootschap) is a private limited company suitable for most businesses, with no significant minimum capital. An NV (Naamloze Vennootschap) is a public limited company requiring €45,000 minimum capital and is typically used by larger or publicly listed companies. Most foreign entrepreneurs choose a BV.
