Document background
The Shared Services Agreement is essential for organizations looking to centralize and optimize their support functions under Dutch law. It is particularly relevant for corporate groups establishing service centers or consolidating back-office operations. The agreement provides a comprehensive framework for service delivery, covering crucial aspects such as service scope, performance standards, cost allocation, governance, and compliance requirements. It addresses key Dutch legal considerations including GDPR compliance, employment regulations, and competition law. This document is commonly used when companies want to achieve economies of scale, standardize processes, and improve service quality through a dedicated shared services entity. The agreement ensures clear accountability, transparent pricing, and effective governance while maintaining flexibility for service evolution.
