B.V. refers to the legal status of a company in the Netherlands. It is an abbreviation for 'Besloten Venootschap' which means a pivate limited liability company.

Basically it means the company is controlled by shareholders, but shares cannot be freely traded and each share is privately registered.

There is also the N.V. (Naamloze venootschap) where the shares can be publicly traded and so the company can trade its shares on a stock exchange.
