Editorial review
Easybroker is one of the few Dutch brokers still actively opening business investment accounts for legal entities — B.V. (private limited company), N.V., holdings, or foundations. Many competitors have exited this segment or never served it. For entrepreneurs wanting to invest corporate capital and compound returns internally, that is the central selling point. Under the hood, Easybroker runs exactly the same Interactive Brokers network LYNX uses — 150+ exchanges, all major asset classes, institutional execution — wrapped in a simpler Dutch-language interface.
Business investing via Easybroker — how it works
Business investing means investing from a legal entity with its own legal personality: a B.V., N.V., holding, or foundation. Capital sits within the company, not privately. Tax advantage: returns can be reinvested inside the B.V. at corporate tax rates (19% up to €200k, 25.8% above, in 2026) instead of immediate personal income tax in Dutch Box 2 or the fictitious yield of Box 3. For entrepreneurs with surplus corporate capital, this is often more efficient — provided you actually keep it invested within the B.V. long-term. Always consult your accountant; tax situations vary.
Note: a sole proprietorship (eenmanszaak) is NOT a separate legal entity. Investing from a sole proprietorship is tax-equivalent to private investing and falls under Box 3. A business account at Easybroker is usually not beneficial for sole traders; a private account suffices.
Which legal entities does Easybroker accept?
- Besloten Vennootschap (B.V. — Dutch private limited company)
- Naamloze Vennootschap (N.V. — Dutch public limited company)
- Holding structures (holding-B.V. with operating B.V., multiple shareholders)
- Foundations (including STAK structures)
KYB (Know Your Business) is performed on the legal entity and all UBOs. Typically 5-10 business days once UBO registration, deed of incorporation, and shareholder overview are complete.
Business account pricing
- Minimum: €25/month — for 1 legal entity + 1 natural-person shareholder
- +€5/month per additional natural-person shareholder
- +€10/month per additional legal entity in the structure
- Example: holding with operating B.V. and 2 shareholders → €25 + €5 + €10 = €40/month
These are fixed management fees on top of trading costs. Unusual for retail brokers, but reasonable given KYB workload. Comparison: DEGIRO offers no business account, ING Business Beleggen has limited asset access, and Saxo Bank-Binck accepts business accounts with higher thresholds.
Trading fees (identical for business and retail)
EU stocks & ETFs: 0.08% per trade (€3 minimum). US stocks: $0.008/share ($3 minimum, max 1% of transaction). Options €1.50/contract, futures €6/contract. Free iDEAL deposits. No inactivity fees. Comparable to DEGIRO; cheaper than LYNX for investors who don't need full TWS.
IBKR network under the hood
Easybroker is an introducing broker of Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited (IBIE). Same structure as LYNX. That means: execution runs through IBKR's SmartRouting, 150+ global exchanges accessible, all major asset classes available. Easybroker adds a simpler interface, Dutch onboarding, and local support — no more, no less.
The catch
- Accounts legally held in Ireland. Easybroker is NL-regulated (AFM), but your securities sit in an IBIE account. Investor compensation is €20,000 via the Irish scheme — not €100,000 Dutch. Same at LYNX.
- Fixed monthly fees for business accounts. €25-40+/month adds up over years. At low trading volume this weighs heavily.
Who it suits
B.V. and holding owners investing corporate capital; retail investors wanting IBKR market breadth with the option of either a simple Dutch interface or full TWS; beginners preferring Dutch onboarding.
Who should look elsewhere
- Sole proprietors — a business account delivers no tax benefit since a sole proprietorship has no separate legal personality. A regular private account (which Easybroker also offers) is sufficient.
- B.V.'s insisting on the €100k Dutch compensation scheme — because Easybroker accounts are legally held at IBIE (Ireland), the €20,000 Irish scheme applies. Those needing the Dutch scheme specifically should consider a Dutch bank-broker, noting that asset breadth there is often narrower.
Full TWS is available: active traders needing ladder DOM, API access, or custom scripts can activate the full Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation (TWS) as desktop platform on their Easybroker account. Same functionality as at IBKR direct — the simple Easybroker web interface is optional, not mandatory.
Risks
Legally hosted at IBIE, Irish compensation scheme. Business accounts carry €25-40+/month fixed fees. Investing carries risk of capital loss, especially on options, futures, and margin. Tax advantages of business investing via B.V. depend on your specific situation; always consult a tax advisor before making structural decisions.
