Limited Partnership in Netherlands
The Dutch investment fund industry is highly regulated by the central authorities who have provided for many types of investment funds that can be set up and for the vehicles that can be used for their establishment. Among these, limited liability companies, cooperatives, and funds for joint account are common among expert investors. Another helpful vehicle that can set up an investment fund in the Netherlands is the limited partnership .
Limited Partnership registration conditions
A limited partnership comprises at least two individuals. Within a CV, there are two types of partner–a managing partner and a LP.
Managing partners. The managing partner runs the business every day.
Silent partners are also known as limited partners. The silent partner does not actively interfere with the company.
You can think of a commanditaire vennootschap as a special type of ‘commercial partnership. Like the VOF, the CV is not a legal corporate identity. The managing partners are liable for debts of the company.
The establishment of a limited partnership for investment is the same as the CV enabled for commercial purposes. However, in the investment funds sector, the general partner will be the Netherlands company managing the fund, while the limited partner or partners will be investors taking part in or gaining interests in the fund.
