Document background
The Memorandum of Association Model is a crucial document required for incorporating a company in the Netherlands. It must be prepared and executed in accordance with Dutch law, particularly Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, and requires notarization by a Dutch civil law notary. This document establishes the company's legal framework, defining its structure, governance, and operational parameters. It includes essential information such as company name, registered office, corporate objectives, share capital details, management structure, and shareholder rights. The memorandum becomes effective upon its execution before a notary and registration with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK). It serves as the primary reference point for all matters relating to the company's internal governance and is binding on the company, its shareholders, and directors.
