Dutch Umbrella

What Dutch Umbrella does

Dutch Umbrella Company is a Netherlands-dedicated Employer of Record and Professional Employment Organization headquartered in Amsterdam that enables international companies to hire and employ staff in the Netherlands without establishing a local Dutch corporate entity. The firm acts as legal employer, administering payroll, tax withholding, social security contributions, NBBU Collective Labour Agreement compliance, and StiPP pension management, while also providing work permit and immigration services (TWV, GVVA, MVV, highly skilled migrant visas, family immigration) under its IND Recognized Sponsor status. Its core technology stack is a service-delivery platform for Dutch workforce compliance rather than a software product, with no disclosed APIs, SDKs, or proprietary AI components.

The company serves two primary segments: international companies expanding into the Dutch market or hiring Dutch-based talent without a local entity, and non-EU/EEA highly educated professionals (highly skilled migrants) requiring IND sponsorship, visa/work permit assistance, expat tax scheme applications (30% ruling equivalent), and settlement support including BSN registration, banking, and health insurance enrollment. Revenue is generated through managed-services fees for serving as legal employer, with pricing that is quote-based and tailored to client needs rather than publicly tiered. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, combining enterprise consultation with website content marketing and a People2.0 Trust Center referral path.

Dutch Umbrella Company is part of the People2.0 global workforce solutions network alongside Brookson (UK), Husys (India), and The Payroll Edge, which provides cross-border distribution infrastructure and shared corporate credibility. The firm markets enterprise credibility through a named SalesForce customer reference. Founded in 2007 and employing 251-500 staff, the company remains a privately held subsidiary operating exclusively in the Netherlands with no public funding rounds or M&A disclosed.
