What Local does

Local Management B.V., trading as Local, is a privately held, management-owned boutique corporate services firm headquartered at the World Trade Center in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Founded in 2010 by Remko van Roekel and Harold Pothoven, the firm operates as part of the Local Group, which comprises three Dutch B.V. entities — Local Corporate Solutions (corporate services), Local Bookkeeping (financial record management), and Local Management (directorship and domiciliation). It is licensed by the Dutch Central Bank to act as a director and to provide registered addresses for Dutch-incorporated entities, and it serves high-net-worth families, multi-family offices, and international corporations that need a Dutch corporate presence.

The firm delivers five core service modules: incorporation and entity formation, domiciliation, management (directorship and governance), bookkeeping and reporting, and corporate secretarial services. It does not operate a proprietary technology platform — its core technology is described as not applicable — and delivers services through partner-led, quote-based engagements with multi-year contract structures. Approximately 8 named professionals (within a stated 11–50 headcount range) carry credentials from Big Four firms and tier-one corporate service providers, including KPMG, EY, PwC, Baker & McKenzie, Citco, IQ-EQ, and ABN AMRO.

Local generates revenue through professional services fees — retainer arrangements and project-based work for ongoing corporate management, compliance, bookkeeping, and secretarial work. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: 76% of new clients are acquired through referrals, 98% client satisfaction is reported, and the firm serves 325+ clients across the Local Group. Distribution is entirely direct via partner consultation and office visits, with marketing concentrated on LinkedIn and personal professional networks rather than digital self-service channels.

Broad incumbents

• Maples Group: Maples Group is an international legal and corporate services firm offering entity formation, directorship, and fund administration across multiple jurisdictions including Europe. It is a relevant peer for the cross-border corporate structuring mandates Local pursues.
• Vistra: Vistra is a global provider of trust, fiduciary, corporate, and fund administration services with strong Dutch presence. It competes for the same incorporation, domiciliation, and management mandates Local serves, and represents the scaled international benchmark.
• Citco: Citco is a global hedge fund and corporate services specialist offering entity management, directorship, and accounting. Notably, two of Local's senior leaders (Remko van Roekel, Roel van Echten) are Citco alumni, making it a direct reference point for Local's positioning and service style.
• TMF Group: TMF Group is a leading global provider of high-value business services to clients operating and investing in international markets, including corporate secretarial, domiciliation, directorship, and accounting services across 80+ jurisdictions — directly overlapping Local's core offerings but at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Intertrust (CSC): CSC (which acquired Intertrust) is a global leader in corporate, legal, financial, and digital services, offering entity formation, domiciliation, and director services in the Netherlands and across major financial centers. It is the most direct large-scale competitor to Local in Dutch corporate services.

Direct peers

• IQ-EQ: IQ-EQ is an investor services group offering corporate administration, directorship, domiciliation, and accounting services to private equity, real estate, and HNW clients in the Netherlands and globally. Its Dutch operations directly compete with Local for the same HNW and corporate client segments.
• Amicorp Group: Amicorp is a leading international provider of corporate, trust, and fiduciary services with significant Dutch operations serving HNW families and corporate clients for entity setup, directorship, and domiciliation — directly competing with Local's target segments.
• Hawksford: Hawksford is a specialist provider of corporate, trust, and fund administration services with offices in the Netherlands. Its boutique-to-mid-market positioning closely mirrors Local's service style and target clientele of HNW families and international corporates.

Emerging players

• Eqosphere: Eqosphere (and similar Dutch boutique compliance/accounting firms) represents the local boutique peer segment — smaller, specialized Dutch firms offering incorporation, bookkeeping, and corporate secretarial services to SMEs and international clients, competing for the same mid-market wallet.

Regional players

• Tricor Group: Tricor is an Asia-headquartered business expansion and corporate services specialist with growing European operations. While geographically distinct, it competes for cross-border market entry and entity setup mandates similar to those Local handles for clients entering the Netherlands.
