01

Corporate & management services

Substantive governance and dependable administration that help an entity operate with clarity, continuity and a credible Dutch presence.

Formation of Dutch and foreign entities

We coordinate the incorporation path with notaries, tax advisers and counsel, translate the agreed structure into a practical implementation plan, and establish the corporate calendar and records from day one.

A coordinated launch with responsibilities, documents and next actions made clear.

Registered office and domiciliation

Arcanum provides an established Dutch business address together with structured mail handling, document retention and escalation of time-sensitive correspondence. Domiciliation is delivered as part of a properly understood and monitored relationship.

Reliable handling of official communications and a consistent administrative home.

Professional corporate or personal director

Experienced management participates in decisions, challenges proposals where appropriate and records the commercial reasoning behind material actions. The role is active and informed rather than nominal.

Credible local governance with accountable decision-making.

Board and shareholder resolutions

We prepare clear decision materials, coordinate signatures and maintain the resulting resolutions in the company records. Material transactions can be scheduled around legal, tax and banking dependencies.

A defensible decision trail and fewer execution gaps.

Corporate records and statutory registers

Registers, constitutional documents, resolutions, powers of attorney and material agreements are maintained as a coherent corporate history, ready for audits, transactions and stakeholder requests.

Accurate records that make reviews and transactions more efficient.

Chamber of Commerce registrations and filings

Changes to directors, addresses, activities and other registered particulars are monitored and coordinated so public records remain aligned with the company’s actual position.

Timely filings and fewer inconsistencies across official records.

Bank-account opening assistance

We assemble the corporate profile, ownership information, business rationale and supporting documents typically requested by banks, then coordinate queries through the onboarding process. Account approval always remains the bank’s decision.

A well-prepared, responsive banking application.

Day-to-day corporate correspondence

Arcanum acts as a stable point of contact for routine notices, agreements, advisers and internal stakeholders, identifying what requires action and routing it to the right decision-maker.

02

Payroll administration

We coordinate recurring payroll calculations, payslips and payroll reporting while keeping starters, leavers and changes aligned with the company’s approvals and employment records.

Predictable payroll administration and an auditable monthly process.

Bank administration and cash management

Company accounts are administered within agreed authorities, with payment preparation, cash visibility and exception handling separated from formal approval responsibilities.

Better liquidity oversight without weakening governance controls.

Interim financial reports and budgets

Tailored reporting brings together performance, cash position, intercompany balances and upcoming obligations so directors can make decisions with current information.

Clearer management insight and earlier identification of issues.

Annual accounts coordination

We prepare complete year-end schedules and coordinate questions with accountants, auditors and advisers, reducing fragmented requests and keeping the completion timetable visible.

A more orderly close with one accountable coordination point.

Periodic VAT positions are prepared from maintained records, reviewed for unusual transactions and submitted within the agreed filing calendar.

Consistent filings supported by traceable underlying information.

Corporate income tax return preparation

We coordinate financial data, tax adjustments and specialist input required for the annual return while tracking questions and filing deadlines.

A connected process between the accounts and the tax return.

Correspondence with Dutch tax authorities

Routine questions, assessments, filing extensions and agreed communications are logged, routed and followed through, with specialist advice introduced when the matter requires it.

Controlled correspondence with clear ownership and deadlines.

03

Structuring, foundations & private clients

Careful implementation of structures whose purpose, ownership, governance and long-term administration are fully understood.

Holding, financing, licensing and trading companies

The administration, governance calendar and reporting lines are designed around the entity’s real commercial function, counterparties and transaction profile.

An operating model aligned with the purpose presented to stakeholders.

Dutch foundations and STAK structures

We coordinate the formation and administration of foundations and depositary-receipt structures, maintaining clear separation between legal ownership, economic rights and decision-making.

Continuity and governance implemented as designed by the advisers.

Private wealth and estate-planning structures

Long-term administration supports structures intended to hold family or private assets across generations, with close attention to governance, documentation and changing circumstances.

Continuity without losing sight of control, obligations or purpose.

Asset-protection structures

Legitimate ownership arrangements are implemented only where the rationale, stakeholders and source of assets are clear, and where governance can remain transparent and properly documented.

Robust administration grounded in a defensible purpose.

Corporate relocations and restructurings

We map the corporate actions, records, appointments, banking implications and adviser dependencies involved when an ownership chain or business moves into a revised structure.

A sequenced transition that protects operational continuity.

Joint ventures and investment structures

Administrative and governance arrangements reflect approval thresholds, reserved matters, investor reporting and the practical needs of multiple stakeholders.

Clear rules for decisions, information and accountability.

Company acquisitions, disposals and liquidations

Arcanum coordinates board actions, document flows, advisers and post-completion records through acquisition, ownership change or an orderly wind-down.

Corporate execution that remains controlled before and after completion.

Coordination with notaries, banks and advisers

One relationship team maintains the action list, resolves information gaps and keeps legal, tax, banking and accounting workstreams aligned around the same facts and timetable.

Fewer hand-off failures and a clearer route to completion.
