The legal form of your company determines which steps you must take to end the business. Consider your final tax matters with the Tax Administration. It is also time to cancel ongoing subscriptions and insurance policies. Finally, deregister your company from KVK.
Follow the steps for your legal form
What you need to arrange to end your business depends on your company’s legal form and your specific situation. The advice on Business.gov.nl is tailored to each specific type of business:
- Ending your sole proprietorship
- Ending your private limited company (bv)
- Ending your general partnership (vof)
- Ending your limited partnership (cv)
- Ending your professional partnership (maatschap)
Checklist for ending your business
Do not forget the little things too, such as cancelling subscriptions and insurance policies. Sometimes you need proof that your business has ended before terminating agreements. After deregistering your company, you can order an extract from the KVK Business Register. This states that your business has stopped. The ending your business checklist can help to ensure that you do not overlook any steps – big or small.
