Question opening a holding company in the Netherlands

[capitanokirk]

Hi Goodmorning,
I am an Italian citizen.
I am an entrepreneur and I have a limited liability company.
I produce and market the products it is time to register the brands of the lines.
I would also like to open an export to the countries of Eastern Europe and Morocco.
I was thinking of opening a holding company in the Netherlands to register the ownership of the brands.
The Dutch company gives the brands to the Italian company, which pays royalties.
I do not know if it is also convenient to register the shares of the Italian company.

Wonder if this is convenient and feasible.
or ask if you have any other ideas.

I want to keep my residence in Italy

thank you

I was thinking of opening a holding company in the Netherlands to register the ownership of the brands.

Netherlands substance requirements for the holding company are extensive so prepare to have deep pockets like 100k a year in costs minimum to prevent it being a CFC. I discussed Netherlands companies here. You will need a real employee with a real salary and a real office etc.

I do not know if it is also convenient to register the shares of the Italian company.

Yes it's possible.

Wonder if this is convenient and feasible.
or ask if you have any other ideas.

You never mentioned anything about needing to save taxes so I would say the other idea is to use your Italian company to do it all.
