A quick note on ownership structures

At the moment, Holvi does not support ownership structures that involve one or more legal entities (i.e. not a 'natural person') with more than 25% company ownership. In other words, if your company is owner by another company, Holvi is not a good fit.

Note

Your business must be fully registered with all the required documents (as applicable) before we can open your account – with the exception of German GmbH and UG, see below.
