• Why does Amsterdam Work Spaces ask for my identification details?

  As a provider of virtual offices and registered business addresses in Amsterdam, we are required to identify our clients and carry out customer due diligence. This follows from the Dutch Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act (Wwft).

  That is why, during the application, we ask for details and documents that allow us to verify your identity and, where applicable, the persons involved and the UBOs of your company. Without this check, we cannot provide our services.

  More information about the Wwft can be found on the FIU-Netherlands website.

• Can I apply for a business address if my company is still being incorporated?

  For the incorporation or registration, the civil-law notary and/or the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) usually require an agreement showing that you are allowed to use the address. That is why you can already complete our regular application procedure before your company has been formally registered.

• Can I register several companies at the Amsterdam Work Spaces address?

  Yes, it is possible to register several companies at our business address in Amsterdam.

  However, we assess each company separately. For each entity, the necessary administration and customer due diligence must be completed, and in principle a separate agreement applies.

  Would you like to register several B.V.s, holding companies or other businesses at Herengracht 493? Please indicate this in your application, so we can tell you straight away which documents and agreements are required.
