FAQ
Frequently asked questions about a business account for your consultancy business
Do you run a consultancy company or advisory firm and want to know how to quickly arrange a business bank account? Here you’ll find answers about suitability for your legal structure, the documents you need, costs and how to open an account within 1 day for you and your team.
Is GoDutch suitable for my consultancy business?
Yes, GoDutch is ideally suited to a consultancy firm. You open a business account tailored to how consultancy firms work: with shared access for partners and consultants, fast international payments to clients, and automatic invoice processing.
You get a Dutch IBAN, virtual and physical Mastercards, real-time insight into your finances and 24/7 personal support. Whether you are a solo consultant or leading a team of advisers, with GoDutch you will be operational within 1 day.
Can I open a business account for multiple companies?
Yes, you can open a business account for multiple companies at GoDutch. In the app, you can easily switch between your different accounts without logging in again. This is ideal if, alongside your consultancy business, for example, you also have a holding company or sole proprietorship. Each account has its own IBAN, its own users and its own settings, but you manage everything from a single overview.
Why is a separate business bank account important for a consultancy business?
A separate business account for your consultancy company gives a clear division between business income and private expenses. That keeps your bookkeeping organised, prevents disputes with the Tax Authorities and ensures you come across professionally to clients and suppliers. For private limited companies, a business account is also legally required.
Is it compulsory to open a business bank account for a consultancy company?
For a consultancy business operating as a private limited company (BV) or public limited company (NV), a business bank account is legally required, because the company’s assets must be kept strictly separate from private finances. Self-employed professionals (ZZP'ers) and sole traders in consultancy are not obliged to have one, but in practice a business bank account is essential for tidy bookkeeping and a professional image towards clients.
Why is GoDutch the best choice for a consultancy account?
GoDutch is a strong choice for a consultancy account because you can be operational within 1 day, give shared access to partners and consultants, and make international payments at the mid-market exchange rate. You benefit from unlimited cashback on travel expenses and SaaS subscriptions, and you can connect directly to your accounting package.
What are the benefits of a business account for consultants at GoDutch?
The benefits of a business account for consultants at GoDutch are speed, flexibility and low costs. You can open one in 3 minutes, receive your Dutch IBAN and virtual Mastercard within 1 day, add multiple users for your partners and team, and integrate effortlessly with Moneybird, e-Boekhouden and other packages. On top of that, you get 24/7 support from real people.
What are the fees for a business account with GoDutch for a consultancy business?
De kosten voor een zakelijke rekening bij GoDutch voor een consultancybedrijf starten op €0 per maand in het Free-pakket. Voor consultants die meerdere gebruikers nodig hebben, bulkbetalingen willen versturen of maximale cashback zoeken, zijn er pakketten vanaf €12 per maand (Starter) tot €49 per maand (Max). Je betaalt €0,12 per SEPA-transactie, ongeacht je pakket.
Where can I open the cheapest business account for a consultancy company?
The cheapest business account for a consultancy company you can open with GoDutch using the Free package: €0 per month, including a Dutch IBAN, a virtual Mastercard and 24/7 support. You only pay €0.12 per SEPA transaction and have no fixed monthly charges, which works out favourably for smaller consultancies with limited transaction volumes.
What documents do I need to open a business account for my consultancy company?
To open a business account for your consultancy business with GoDutch, you need valid ID (passport or driving licence) and, for a private limited company (BV) or general partnership (VOF), a recent extract from the Chamber of Commerce (KvK). Identification takes place entirely online via your phone, so you do not need to go anywhere and you do not send any paper documents.
How does opening a business account with GoDutch work for a consultancy business?
Opening a business account with GoDutch for your consultancy business works in three steps. You complete the online application (3 minutes), go through identification with your ID document, and within 1 day you receive your Dutch IBAN and virtual Mastercard. After that, you can invoice, make payments and give your partners or consultants access with their own roles and permissions.
