INC. Business Matchmakers · Personal introductions
Start doing business in the Netherlands with a clear route.
INC. Business Matchmakers discusses what you need and explores which personal introduction through our network could fit. You and the specialist then agree directly on the work to be carried out.
Entering the Dutch market starts with knowing which customers you want to serve and how you will reach them. You may need a local commercial partner, operational support or specialist advice. INC. discusses your plan and explores the right personal introduction.
Choose a first market rather than a whole country
Define your sector, customer type and region. Explain what your product or service offers Dutch customers and what evidence you already have of demand. A focused pilot is easier to discuss than a general ambition to expand everywhere at once.
Decide how you want to operate
Direct sales, a distributor, a local partner and a Dutch establishment create different questions. Map the customer journey, delivery, aftercare, language and who will represent the business. Ask suitable specialists which legal, tax or employment questions require assessment for your intended setup.
Prepare the first local conversation
Bring a concise introduction, your offer, intended audience, current market experience and the contribution you want from a Dutch contact. INC. prepares the introduction; any research, professional advice, distribution or operational work is agreed directly with the relevant specialist.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Dutch company before discussing an introduction?
Not to describe your plan. Whether a local entity is appropriate or required must be assessed for your actual activities by qualified advisers.
Can the request concern a distributor?
Yes. Specify the product, customer group, territory and the commercial role you expect from a partner.
Does INC. provide tax or incorporation advice?
No. INC. provides matchmaking and can explore an introduction to the relevant expertise. Professional advice is separately agreed.
