The Netherlands is a great country in which to start a company. It prides itself on being a nation of entrepreneurs, with lots of support and ways forward for new companies.

For expats in the Netherlands, keeping up with Dutch financial regulations while trying to grow a business can feel like having to juggle two full-time jobs. eFaktura.nl is the solution: an intuitive, user-friendly application that takes the hassle out of invoicing and administration, so that you can focus on what you do best - running your business.

The challenges of entrepreneurship abroad

Most expats starting a new business in the Netherlands have a lot of motivation.

They are prepared to put in long hours honing their skills and developing their new venture to make sure that it can succeed. What they aren't always ready for is the amount of administration that comes with setting up and maintaining a business in a foreign country.

Some difficulties include understanding Dutch VAT rules, keeping track of deductible expenses and making sure invoices meet local requirements. It’s a lot to manage, especially when Dutch isn’t your first language. A small mistake, such as an incorrectly formatted invoice, can lead to unnecessary delays or even penalties.

Properly managed administration also brings the added benefit of transparency. Having all of your paperwork in good order means that any audits or tax inspections can be passed without a hitch. This is particularly important with regards false self-employment (schijnzelfstandigheid), which is something the Dutch tax authorities are focusing on this year.

This is where eFaktura.nl makes a difference. Designed with expats in mind, it simplifies business administration, saving time and reducing stress.
