Netherlands Company Namecheck

Company names in the Netherlands must be pre-approved for availability and acceptability. The Netherlands Companies Registry has an advanced electronic name reservation system.

The Netherlands Registry of Corporate Affairs will only refuse a name if it is identical, almost identical or phonetically the same as a name already registered or implies state sponsorship. Use of certain words such as Bank, Insurance and Group will require special permission.

• Your business name must not be confusing or misleading. That means that you cannot choose a name which is already being used
• You may not represent yourself as anything other than what you really are. So, for example, you cannot use 'BV' in your business name if your business is not a BV (private limited company)
• Your business name or trade name may not conflict with existing trademarks
