Business Articles of Incorporation are fundamental corporate documents required under Dutch law for establishing a legal entity in the Netherlands. This document must be executed before a Dutch civil law notary and filed with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK) to formally create the company. The Articles contain mandatory provisions required by the Dutch Civil Code Book 2, including the company's name, registered office, objectives, share capital structure, and governance arrangements. They serve as the company's constitutional document, defining relationships between shareholders, directors, and other stakeholders, and providing the framework for corporate decision-making. The Articles must be drafted in Dutch or in both Dutch and another language, and any amendments require notarial execution and registration with the KVK.
