Running and starting a business
Expats
Invoicing in the Netherlands as an expat: KVK to first invoice
Just started a business in the Netherlands? What a valid Dutch invoice needs, how VAT works, what to check for foreign clients and invoicing in English.
Small business owners
Small business invoicing: keep varied assignments organised
Does your invoice count change each month? Keep quotes, clients and unpaid amounts organised and choose a plan for a small business.
Self-employed professionals
Self-employed invoicing, without losing your evening to it
Invoices are a side job when you work for yourself. Keep your VAT right, your numbering clean and unpaid invoices visible, without an accounting package.
Starters
Your first invoice, just registered with the Chamber of Commerce
Just registered and your first job done? Here is what a valid Dutch invoice looks like, and how to send one without signing up for a subscription first.
Regular clients and recurring invoices
Regular clients, monthly invoices and a bookkeeper who checks in
Manage several companies in one account, automate recurring invoices and give your bookkeeper free access, with own details and numbering per company.
Consulting and creative services
Coaches
Invoicing for coaches: individual sessions and programmes
Invoice coaching sessions and programmes with clear descriptions. Account for the paying client, instalments and your monthly invoice volume.
Consultants
Consultant invoicing: day rates, milestones and retainers
Identify advisory work by period, purchase reference and milestone. Invoice consulting projects and automate fixed monthly retainers.
Photographers
Photography invoices: from the shoot to post-production
Invoice photoshoots, editing and agreed image usage. Includes a practical example and subscription advice for ten invoices per month.
Freelancers
Freelance invoicing: hours, half-days and fixed project fees
Invoice freelance work by the hour, half-day or project. Make revisions and extra work clear, and choose a plan for your monthly workload.
Web designers
Web designer invoicing: design, delivery and maintenance
Separate website projects from hosting and maintenance. Agree project instalments, describe additional revisions and automate fixed maintenance invoices.
Construction and trades
Handyman businesses
Handyman invoices: labour, materials and additional work
Explain small jobs with separate labour, material and extra-work lines. Turn clear quotes into invoices or agreed instalments.
Plumbers
Plumber invoicing: call-outs, parts and installation
Clearly invoice call-out fees, labour and parts. Use partial invoices to request a deposit for larger installation jobs.
Painters
Painter invoicing: surfaces, preparation and completion
Describe painting by room or component, distinguish additional repairs and split larger jobs into clear invoice instalments.
Construction and trade businesses
Construction invoicing: reverse charge and instalments, no hassle
Subcontracting means reverse-charge VAT, and a job means a deposit and instalments. Put both in one quote and let the instalment invoices send themselves.
