  5. BSN Registration: Secure an appointment with your local Dutch Municipality to obtain your Burgerservicenummer (BSN) number.

  6. Company Registration and Banking: Register your company and set up a corresponding bank account.

  7. Initial Deposit: Deposit €4,500 into your company bank account and obtain an opening balance statement from an accountant.
