Before you move
The route
The wrong permit costs a year. We compare these against your idea and your timeline.
- Startup Visa
- Self-employed
- A phased plan, if you are not ready yet
You leave knowing which path to take, and which to drop.
You talk to a human.
You bring the vision. We turn it into a route that presents your best case to the IND, a file built for how RVO actually reads, and a landing that is already assembled.

Facilitator, legal, tax, banking, landing: one network.
Working with Angelina and Michael has been the most unique and impactful experience of my entire time living in The Netherlands. As an entrepreneur and self-employed professional, I faced challenges that were truly unimaginable. Without their expertise, collaboration, and genuine care and support by my side, I would have certainly fallen and failed.
I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done.

Clear answers to remove any doubts about your Startup Visa journey
We'll identify this in your Strategy Session and provide alternative pathways.
We specialize exclusively in the Startup Visa, with transparent flat fees, founder-led support, and a file built for how IND and RVO actually assess.
Final approval always rests with the IND, so no one can honestly guarantee the outcome. What we commit to is thorough, honest preparation, and if the IND requests additional information, we help you respond. We are also upfront from the first session about how strong your case realistically is.
Never. Unlike accelerators or equity-based programs, we believe your equity should stay with you. Our flat-fee model means no dilution, no valuation disputes, and no ongoing complications.
You can book your Strategy Session today and typically get started within 48 hours. The IND aims to decide on a Startup Visa application within 90 days of submission; allowing for preparation and any requests for additional information, the end-to-end process typically takes around 3–6 months.

Please select a country to continue.
Your startup should offer something new to the Dutch market or use innovative technology/methods.
You'll need approximately €25,000-€50,000 to cover living expenses and initial business costs.
You should own a significant portion of the business and be actively involved in its management.
Based on your answers, you meet the basic requirements. Let's discuss your specific situation and create a personalized roadmap.
