Was able to find the "Dutch American Friendship Treaty". This means it is relatively straightforward for americans to set up a business in the netherlands.
But not cheap. For a three person business, it looks like it would cost $15,000 in "capital" and around $7,500 in lawyers and other services to prepare the necessary paperwork (based on Mike Lee's estimates and the fact that our business has more than one person, so would need to incorporate.)
It seems wrong to me to put about $15k in the bank to do nothing when there's far more than that already invested in the business (Which is existing already) and the value of the business is more than that.
Will wait for the appsterdamers to get more details out. Maybe the situation is different for relocating an existing business.
