How do you get non bankruptcy certificate?

Answer 1

A 'non-bankruptcy certificate' (non-faillisementsverklaring) demonstrates that your business (or you) is not insolvent nor has applied for a moratorium of payments.

When do you need a non-bankruptcy certificate?You need a non-bankruptcy certificate if you want to submit an opentender. Without this certificate, the government agency inviting the tenders may exclude you from participating. You must be able to present the certificate immediately when submitting the tender.

Sometimes, a non-bankruptcy certificate is required for the fulfilment of contracts other than government contracts.

Where must you apply for the non-bankruptcy certificate?You can apply for the non-bankruptcy certificate at the insolvency division of the court in the region where your company is registered. You will obtain the certificate if you have not been insolvent/bankrupt or have not been granted a moratorium on payments in the 5 years preceding the application. You must enclose an excerpt from the Commercial Register with your application. You must also pay a court registry fee.

A non-bankruptcy certificate is only valid for a limited time. Whether and for how long the certificate remains valid is determined by the government agency inviting the tenders.

What is the Self-Declaration for tenders?Should you submit a tender for a contract of the Dutch national government, there is no need to enclose a non-bankruptcy certificate. In that case, you use the Self-Declaration for tenders (Eigen Verklaring aanbestedingen). You must only be able to present the non-bankruptcy certificate once the Dutch national government awards you the contract.
