Editorial review

Easybroker opens business investment accounts for legal entities — B.V. (private limited company), N.V., holdings, or foundations. For entrepreneurs wanting to invest corporate capital and compound returns internally, that is the key feature. Under the hood, Easybroker runs exactly the same Interactive Brokers network LYNX uses — 170 markets in 40 countries and territories, all major asset classes, institutional execution — offered with a 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

- €30/month (or €300/year paid upfront) — 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 → €30 + €5 + €10 = €45/month

These are fixed management fees on top of trading costs. Unusual for retail brokers, but reasonable given KYB workload. Check with each broker whether a business account is possible and on what terms.

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.

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, 170 markets in 40 countries and territories accessible, all major asset classes available. Easybroker adds a Dutch-language 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. €30-45+/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 the Dutch Easybroker 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 Easybroker web interface is optional, not mandatory.

Risks

Legally hosted at IBIE, Irish compensation scheme. Business accounts carry €30-45+/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.

Frequently asked

Which legal entities does Easybroker accept for business investing?
Easybroker opens business investment accounts for Dutch Besloten Vennootschappen (B.V. — private limited), Naamloze Vennootschappen (N.V. — public limited), holding structures (including holding-B.V. with operating B.V.), and foundations (including STAK structures). Sole proprietorships are not treated as business clients — they invest as private under Dutch Box 3.
How much does a business investment account at Easybroker cost?
€30 per month (or €300 per year if paid upfront) for 1 legal entity plus 1 natural-person shareholder. Plus €5/month per additional natural-person shareholder, and €10/month per additional legal entity. Example: 2 entities and 2 shareholders cost €45 per month or €480 per year upfront, on top of trading fees.
Is investing from a B.V. more tax-efficient than private investing?
It depends on your situation. Profits inside a B.V. are taxed at Dutch corporate tax rates (19% up to €200k profit, 25.8% above, in 2026) and can be reinvested internally. Private investing falls under the fictitious yield of Box 3. For entrepreneurs with surplus corporate capital, business investing via B.V. is often more efficient — provided capital stays invested long-term. Always consult a tax advisor before making structural decisions.
Can I open a business account as a sole trader (eenmanszaak / ZZP)?
No. A sole proprietorship has no separate legal personality — assets are taxed as private under Box 3. Easybroker therefore does not open a separate business account for sole traders; a private account is sufficient. Business investing requires a legal entity: B.V., N.V., holding, or foundation.
Is Easybroker the same as LYNX?
Not the same company, but the same underlying infrastructure. Both are introducing brokers of Interactive Brokers Ireland (IBIE): orders route through IBKR's SmartRouting, 170 markets in 40 countries and territories, same asset classes. The difference is the shell: LYNX provides the full TWS platform for active/professional traders; Easybroker offers a Dutch-language interface and Dutch onboarding, and also offers business investment accounts.
What investor compensation applies to business accounts at Easybroker?
Easybroker is AFM-regulated (Netherlands), but business accounts are legally opened at Interactive Brokers Ireland (IBIE). Investor compensation runs via the Irish scheme, with coverage of €20,000 per client — not the €100,000 Dutch scheme. For large business portfolios: diversify across brokers to respect compensation limits.
How long does it take to open a business account?
KYB (Know Your Business) review typically takes 5-10 business days once all documents are complete: UBO register (Dutch KVK), deed of incorporation, shareholder register, and ID of all UBOs. Complex structures (multiple holdings, STAKs, foreign UBOs) may take longer.
