FAQ
No, the establishment number does not look the same as the KVK number of an establishment.
You do not have to use the establishment number to do business. That means you do not have to mention the establishment number on your stationery, invoices, or website. You do need to include the KVK number.
Are you taking over an establishment and continuing to operate it as part of your business or organisation? If so, the establishment number will remain the same. However, that establishment will be assigned your business or organisation’s KVK number.
