Is ligo.nl Legit?

From the very beginning, Ligo failed to deliver any tangible services. Despite numerous requests and extensive communication, there was no progress. I was repeatedly told that delays were due to their provider's bottleneck, but no actual work was ever done.After Ligo missed multiple promised deadlines, I submitted several cancellation requests.They still failed to meet the subsequent deadlines and continued to delay without providing the service I paid for. They scammed and never delivered any service... and of course never offered any refund- even a partial one.

Can I give zero stars? I have had bad experience with Ligo. They used a notary that has no experience in setting up BV’s, which resulted in big delays. Also they claim 5 working days, in the end it took four weeks…. Communication/chat was always fast in reacting, however they could do nothing except for saying that the notary will look at it, or give wrong instructions. Not recommended unless you have more than a month to register your company

Ligo's service is mediocre to poor. Yes, it is an affordable option for setting up a BV, but it was not worth it. They encouraged me to set up a holding company, which I initially did not want and eventually discontinued. Fortunately, I did receive a refund on the costs I had made in setting up a holding company. 1 month, 7 emails later with excuses about ' our finance department is working on this' 6 chat messages and I still don't have a credit invoice. If it is already that difficult to create a simple credit invoice, I certainly don't trust them with the payroll processing option (which I also paid for). Folks, don't go for Ligo. Don't go for the easy route as it will only give you a headache.

Scam. After upcharging me for the English service to register as a BV while not providing the services in English, I was then subjected to a cat and mouse game of getting my documents approved, then rejected, then approved and rejected again, with more documents requested including a 20 page of questionnaire and essay writing on my business with questions such as "what are your strengths, how do you intend to use your strengths/weaknesses for your businesses". Absurd things happened such as accepting my passport but not my ID. After delaying the process and not getting sufficient support or the service I paid for - which costed a LOT, I asked for a full refund and was reassured I would get it back, but nothing. This has been infuriating to say the least, and clearly these reviews are fake. It seems to me that they just don't want to register a non-Dutch person and they are just scammers. Avoid!!Nswers B.V.

They took over €1000 from us, and said that they were unable to incorporate the company. Rather than give a refund, they just began to ignore our emails. Probably the worst experience I've ever had with a company.

Extremely horrible experience.We urgently needed a company registration back in January 2023. Because Ligo's popped up on Google search, this company might provide us with fast, high-quality service. But since we opened the account, there has been no service, and nothing has been delivered; in between, we spent a lot of time asking for our money back, but there is no refund either. They have yet to give us a refund and always has excuses about SAAS company's contract terms.In January 2024, they even automatically charged us again for the service we never subscribed to.We have already reported this company to KVK.KVK advices us to report this Ligo B.V. to the Dutch Police.We are going to the Police station this week.I hope anybody has this scamming experience; please go to the police stations in the Netherlands to report them. Or anybody will align on this online criminal case submission. Please work together on this Ligo B.V.!

Some employees don’t know what they are doing. Trying to setup a holding left me with another B.V. and no holding structure. They just closed my request! You are not informed about it until you ask a status update. I wasted a lot of money for nothing.

They advertise as "BV Company Setup in 7 days". I wasted weeks already to set up a BV. A lot of promises are not kept! Now, I am transferred to another notary! You should definitely stay away. These guys shouldn't be in this business at all!

Super positive experience!Akshay went above and beyond to answer every "noob" question I had and guide me.It's incredible how helpful and patient you guys have been with me throughout this experience so far.You're making what is usually a stressful and nerve wrecking process become a pleasant experience to go through.Truly appreciate your help Akshay. Thanks a lot.

I have done many contracts with Ligo and they always go the extra mile to help you in the best way possible and provide concrete guidance on business matters. Thanks one more time for the great support!

Date of experience: June 10, 2024

Our organisation (Rotaract The Hague International) had been working as a charity for the past ten years without legally being recognised as one - meaning we couldn’t receive any of the benefits of being a PBO.This year we engaged Ligo.nl to help incorporate our organisation as a PBO.During this time, they were proactive in resolving matters, demonstrating speed, efficiency and courteousness through a simple and streamlined process, and provided support to handle our bespoke needs.This led to a one-time easy incorporation through their notary service.We would be happy to recommend Ligo.nl for their services to any organisation in the same situation. We would especially be glad to recommend Matias for his oversight on this agreement and Huyghen, who ran point on this collaboration.

Excellent platform. This is the second time I used them for incorporating, and always received fast response to my questions. Now using them for managing my contracts and service is equally good.

Our organization tried to use Ligo to register as a Stichting that could apply for cultural ANBI status. We chose Ligo over the many options primarily because they claimed fast service (within 5 days), 100% online service and a 100% digital process with notaries all over the Netherlands and all inclusive on the fees. Not only did it take over a month (applied 5 October and notary appointment wasn't until 9 November even though they had all our details the day we applied) but they only allowed us to select a notary in Hengelo (we are in Amsterdam) to which they required us to go in person costly us an additional €150 in transportation costs. The notary changed their name mid-way through the process which was a red flag but then despite having contacted them by phone directly to fix issues we saw in the documents they prepared, these documents were still not fixed when we arrived to sign. The notary then said they should charge us to make the changes and that we would have to come back another time! Though they finally relented and let us sign that day, we have now been rejected for ANBI status due to how they wrote our Stichting incorporation documents - wrong. They gave us poor advice, kept saying they hadn't received info from Ligo that was provided, and now we expect additional costs to fix our incorporation documents which were prepared wrong.

Great service! I was able to download a whole lot of contracts that I needed and they always gave me immediate support

I am very grateful for the help that i got in every single way trough the Chat support from Ligo. In particular i would like to thank the support form Mr. Akshay. Well done!!!

They have the answer to every question going through your head and are very proactive

Promises a rapid incorporation but fails to deliver in many ways. Still waiting...

Quick and easy to setup BV. Also helpful in adjusting invoice etc after service.

Very great company to work with! High reccomended for anyone to start a BV, stichting
