MONTCLARE
CAPITAL PARTNERS
We help investors, founders and companies across the Nordics reach into Europe and beyond through Dutch holding structures — with the genuine substance and treaty efficiency these cross-border flows require.
Structuring a Dutch BV holding as the European platform for Nordic investors, using the participation exemption and a broad treaty network designed to help reduce withholding, where conditions are met, on cross-border dividend and capital flows.
Designing holding chains with genuine Dutch substance, built to address Nordic CFC, beneficial-ownership and anti-abuse rules, coordinated with your Nordic and Dutch counsel.
Structuring European (and selectively global) real estate and investment holdings through the Dutch vehicle — the asset class that anchors most Nordic mandates.
Coordinating capital, banks and lenders around Nordic-backed European projects and acquisitions, aligning the financing with the holding and treaty structure.
A founder-led Nordic industrial-software group was preparing a partial sale to a strategic buyer. Shares, IP and new ventures all sat in one domestic operating company — leaving the founders exposed on exit, with no vehicle to reinvest the proceeds across Europe.
Mapped the exit timeline against Nordic exit-tax and CFC rules; helped design a Dutch holding above the operating company well before signing; coordinated local counsel on the share contribution and the participation-exemption analysis; prepared banking, substance and governance so the platform was real, not cosmetic.
The stake was sold from a treaty-connected Dutch platform. Proceeds remained available for reinvestment at holding level, and the founders kept one clean vehicle for their next European ventures.
