How it works
An umbrella company, also known as a payroll or employer of record solution, allows you to employ staff in the Netherlands without having your own legal entity. The employee works for your company, but is legally employed by the umbrella provider.
This means that all employment contracts, salary payments, tax withholdings, and social security contributions are handled locally and in line with Dutch regulations. You maintain the day-to-day relationship with the employee, while the administrative and legal responsibilities are managed for you.
Hiring international employees
Hiring in the Netherlands involves strict rules around employment, taxation, and immigration. This is especially relevant when hiring non-EU employees or highly skilled migrants, where additional requirements apply.
Using an umbrella structure allows you to hire international talent without delays, setup costs, or legal complexity. It ensures employees are correctly registered, paid, and taxed in the Netherlands, reducing compliance risks for your business.
Compliance and risk management
Incorrect employment structures can lead to tax penalties and back payments, fines, or compliance investigations by Dutch authorities. This includes risks related to payroll taxes, social security, and permanent establishment for foreign companies.
An umbrella solution ensures that all obligations are handled correctly from the start. It provides a compliant framework that aligns with Dutch law, while giving you flexibility to grow your team in the Netherlands.

✓ want to hire employees in the Netherlands without setting up a legal entity
✓ are entering the Dutch market or testing expansion with a small team
