Our Services for Silent Partnerships
Trusted Investment Through Strategic Silence
At Montclare Capital Partners, we specialize in creating and managing silent partnership structures (stille vennootschappen) that allow capital providers to invest in private ventures without active involvement. Whether you’re a high-net-worth individual, a family office, or an international investor seeking a low-visibility strategy in the Dutch or European market, silent partnerships offer a discreet and flexible solution.
What Is a Silent Partnership?
A silent partnership is a legal arrangement in which one party (the silent partner) contributes capital to a business while another (the managing partner) operates it. The silent partner does not appear publicly and shares in profits without taking on day-to-day responsibilities or reputational exposure.
Our Silent Partnership Services Include:
I. Drafting partnership agreements with clear rights and obligations.
II. Choosing between informal arrangements or registration-based formats.
III. Integration with Dutch BV structures or international holdings.
I. Silent partner protections: veto rights, exit clauses, and profit ceilings.
II. Due diligence on managing partners and operational risks.
III. Regular reporting protocols tailored to partner preferences.
I. Ensuring compliance with Dutch and international tax regimes.
II. Optimizing profit distribution and dividend flow.
III. Aligning with fiscal rulings when applicable.
I. We assist in structuring silent partnerships within the EU, Latin America, and select African and Asian markets.
II. Local advisors ensure legal compatibility, enforceability, and cultural fluency.
At Montclare, we work with four distinct profiles who value discretion, structure, and long-term perspective. Some are passive investors seeking stable private exposure over time, without the noise of short-term speculation. Others are international investors exploring local opportunities while avoiding the complexity of setting up subsidiaries. We also support entrepreneurs in search of capital that does not interfere with their control or vision. And finally, we serve family offices that prefer to operate under the radar, with tailored solutions that match their quiet presence and strategic depth.
A Spanish-Dutch family office wanted to back a boutique hospitality project in Florence while remaining anonymous. Montclare structured a silent partnership with veto rights, capped liability, and quarterly reporting. The managing partner ran operations while our client retained oversight and shared in profits. Their identity was never disclosed, even during acquisition and expansion.
Why Montclare?
Discretion is not a feature of our work — it’s the foundation. Everything we build starts from trust, silence, and clarity. Our multilingual team operates across jurisdictions, bridging not only legal and fiscal complexities, but also the cultural nuances that often make the difference. We bring the precision of Dutch structuring expertise and connect it with a global reach, creating robust frameworks for international investors and institutions.
