For everyone else, the route depends on your nationality and business model. Americans can use the DAFT treaty for Netherlands entry with just €4,500. Freelancers and consultants need self-employed permits or freelance visa with proof of economic value. Established businesses can sponsor themselves as highly skilled migrants—but expect €3,000+ in fees, 4+ months processing, and strict scrutiny. If you have the capital, you can explore residence by investment programs (€250,000+ investments, extensive due diligence).
The challenge isn't incorporating, that takes days or weeks, depending on the country. It's getting the residence permit to actually live there while running it.
