When you found a public limited company, you must be able to provide evidence that you've put a certain amount of money into it, and that capital was divided into stocks. A bank confirmation for the foundation of a public limited company can serve as this evidence.
Please note: you cannot put in a request for this type of bank confirmation until you've registered the company with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK).
