Associates B.V.
Associates B.V. is on file as a Dutch private limited company (besloten vennootschap) registered with the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (KVK) under number 34295012, with a recorded incorporation date of 15 February 2008. Third-party Dutch company-information services that mirror the KVK Handelsregister record the entity’s registered activity under Dutch SBI code 78202, “uitleenbureaus” (temporary-employment and secondment agencies), and list its current registration status as dissolved (opgeheven). This status, and the underlying registry extract, could not be independently re-confirmed against the KVK’s own free online company search within this review, because that search tool renders its results dynamically and its content could not be retrieved as static text.
Historical Dutch trade-press coverage and third-party registry data describe Associates B.V. as having operated an internet-based intermediary service that matched financial-sector and IT professionals with client assignments, marketed under the trading name Associates.nl. The same registry data lists Select Professional Services and Striive as additional trade names associated with the company’s KVK registration. The company’s own domain, associates.nl, was found at the time of this review to display only a “domain reserved” holding page rather than active business content, consistent with the dissolved registration status recorded above.

Shareholders
No current shareholder register or ultimate-beneficial-ownership filing for Associates B.V. (KVK 34295012) is available through the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce’s free public company search; Dutch shareholder registers for besloten vennootschappen are not published through that free lookup and must be obtained from a notary or, for beneficial-ownership data, the UBO-register. Historical Dutch trade-press coverage reported that, effective 1 July 2010, HeadFirst B.V. acquired a 60% majority shareholding in Associates B.V., with the remaining 40% retained by Dialogues Incubator, an ABN AMRO Bank-linked venture incubator; this reporting referenced a completed transaction rather than an official filing, and no registration number could be located for the Dialogues Incubator entity itself. No source located confirms Associates B.V.’s current shareholder composition, and this 2010 stake split should not be read as still current given the company’s subsequently recorded dissolved registration status.
Data availability
- Restricted – the Dutch UBO-register has restricted public access to beneficial-ownership data since a 2022 Court of Justice of the European Union ruling limited access to parties demonstrating a legitimate interest; no UBO filing for this entity was accessible for this review.
- Historical – the only shareholder information located, a 2010 report of a 60%/40% split between HeadFirst B.V. and Dialogues Incubator, is more than a decade old and predates the company’s currently recorded dissolved registration status.

Officers

Third-party Dutch company-information data that mirrors the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (KVK) Handelsregister lists two entities as having held management/director (bestuurder) authority over Associates B.V. (KVK 34295012): a natural-person director, Gerrit Jan Schellingerhout, and a corporate director, HeadFirst Houdstermaatschappij B.V. (a Netherlands-registered company, KVK number 62229400). The corporate director is recorded as having held management authority since 12 April 2017, while Mr Schellingerhout is recorded as having stepped down on 7 December 2021, after which HeadFirst Houdstermaatschappij B.V. appears as the sole recorded director. This information could not be independently re-confirmed against the KVK’s own free online company search within this review, because that search tool renders its results dynamically and its content could not be retrieved as static text. No nationality, country of residence or occupation is disclosed for Mr Schellingerhout in any source located, and none should be inferred from his name.

Group Structure
Historical Dutch trade-press coverage reports that, effective 1 July 2010, HeadFirst B.V. (Netherlands, KVK number 34091804 per third-party registry data) acquired a 60% majority shareholding in Associates B.V., with Dialogues Incubator, an ABN AMRO Bank-linked venture incubator, retaining the remaining 40%; no registration number could be located for the Dialogues Incubator entity. Separately, third-party registry data mirroring the KVK Handelsregister records HeadFirst Houdstermaatschappij B.V. (KVK number 62229400, incorporated 30 December 2014, registered at the same Taurusavenue address in Hoofddorp as Associates B.V.) as having held management/director authority over Associates B.V. since 12 April 2017. No ownership percentage or shareholding filing confirming HeadFirst Houdstermaatschappij B.V. as a parent company of Associates B.V. was located, so this later link is treated only as a confirmed common-management relationship rather than a verified ownership-based group structure. Associates B.V.’s KVK registration is also associated with the trade names Select Professional Services and Striive, both current platform brands of HeadFirst Group, and the company’s own registration status is recorded as dissolved (opgeheven).
