FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What services do you offer?

We help expats and Dutch self-employed professionals (ZZP-ers) navigate business registration, compliance, marketing, and operations. Our services include KVK registration, BTW setup, invoicing templates, tax guidance, permit assistance, and business growth consulting—especially for construction, renovation, beauty, and tattoo businesses.

Do you work with clients remotely?

Yes! We operate remote-first via video calls, chat, and email. You don't need to visit an office—we deliver everything online with templates, guides, and step-by-step support.

What languages do you support?

We primarily work in English, Romanian and Dutch, making us ideal for expats navigating the Dutch business landscape.

Registration & Compliance

How do I register as a ZZP-er in the Netherlands?

You need to register with the KVK (Chamber of Commerce), obtain a BTW (VAT) number if applicable, and ensure you have a BSN (citizen service number). We guide you through each step and handle the paperwork so you can start working quickly.

What permits do I need for construction or renovation work?

It depends on the type of work. Some projects require building permits (bouwvergunning), environmental permits, or notifications to local authorities. We help you identify what's required and assist with applications.

Do I need special permits for a beauty salon or tattoo studio?

Yes. Beauty salons and tattoo studios must comply with health and safety regulations (GGD requirements), hygiene standards, and may need specific permits depending on your municipality. We help you navigate these requirements and ensure full compliance.

What's the difference between BTW and income tax?

BTW (VAT) is a sales tax you charge clients and pay to the tax office quarterly or annually. Income tax is what you pay on your profits. We explain both clearly and provide templates to track everything properly.

Pricing & Payment

How much do your services cost?

Pricing varies by service. We offer individual consulting sessions, package deals for full registration and setup, and ongoing support subscriptions. Contact us for a custom quote based on your needs.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we offer flexible payment options for larger packages. Reach out to discuss what works best for your budget.

Process & Timeline

How long does registration take?

KVK registration typically takes 1-3 business days once we submit your application. BTW number requests can take 1-2 weeks. We keep you updated throughout the process.

What information do I need to provide?

You'll need your BSN, proof of address, ID/passport, business description, and bank details. We provide a complete checklist when you start working with us.

Can you help if I'm already registered but need compliance support?
