In 2023, <strong>37% of self-employed people were women<\/strong>, and this number is still growing (CBS, 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What benefits can women expect when starting their own business? What challenges might they face? We asked <strong>Luiza Niens<\/strong>, an accounting and business consulting expert from <strong>TNP Advies<\/strong>, to share her insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Do Women Start Businesses?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many women choose entrepreneurship for greater <strong>independence<\/strong>\u2014both financially and socially. Running a business also offers <strong>flexibility<\/strong>, allowing them to balance family responsibilities with professional ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, starting a business is the only reasonable solution. For example, after moving to the Netherlands, some women find that their qualifications from another country are not officially recognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Owning a business gives women more <strong>control over their careers and lives<\/strong>. It also helps them develop a wide range of skills\u2014such as <strong>management, negotiation, and marketing<\/strong>\u2014while building self-confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luiza Niens:<\/strong> <em>\u201cI meet women who realize that what they did for an employer, they can do for themselves\u2014earning more and growing on their own terms.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Most Popular Business Forms for Women<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common business structure for women in the Netherlands is <strong>ZZP (Zelfstandige Zonder Personeel)<\/strong>\u2014a <strong>sole proprietorship<\/strong> that offers <strong>high flexibility<\/strong> and is <strong>easy to manage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luiza Niens:<\/strong><em> \u201cRegistering a business with KvK is simple, but it\u2019s important to know the responsibilities that come with it. Every ZZP\u2019er must file tax returns, handle VAT (BTW), keep proper financial records, and pay health insurance contributions independently. I always recommend seeking professional advice at the beginning to avoid mistakes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If <strong>annual turnover does not exceed \u20ac20,000<\/strong>, women can apply for the <strong>KOR (Kleine Ondernemersregeling)<\/strong> tax relief. This <strong>exempts them from charging VAT (BTW)<\/strong>, making it a great option for those testing a business idea without additional tax obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/efaktura.nl\/en\/running-a-kor-based-business-in-the-netherlands\/\">Learn more about the KOR scheme here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another option is becoming a <strong>meewerkend partner<\/strong> (working partner). If a woman helps in her partner\u2019s business but does not own a separate company, her salary can be treated as a business expense\u2014reducing the partner\u2019s taxable income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luiza Niens:<\/strong> <em>\u201cIf a partner pays their spouse more than <strong>\u20ac5,000 per year<\/strong>, this income must be reported for tax purposes. However, if the amount is lower, they can use a special tax exemption to avoid taxation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Are the Benefits of Running a Business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a business is not just about financial independence. It also leads to <strong>personal growth and greater self-confidence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2714 <strong>Work on your own terms<\/strong> \u2013 decide when and how much you work.<br>\u2714 <strong>Higher earning potential<\/strong> \u2013 your income depends on your efforts, not a fixed salary.<br>\u2714 <strong>Self-directed career growth<\/strong> \u2013 focus on what interests you instead of following an employer\u2019s expectations.<br>\u2714 <strong>Skill development<\/strong> \u2013 running a business teaches <strong>entrepreneurship, marketing, negotiation, project management, and financial planning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luiza Niens:<\/strong><em> \u201cI know many women who were afraid to take this step. But after a few months, they said: \u2018I had no idea I was this strong!\u2019 Entrepreneurship often reveals skills we never knew we had.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Motherhood and Business \u2013 Is a Regular Job Safer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many women wonder how running a business will affect their situation if they become pregnant. For some, this is the biggest concern and a reason to hesitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2008, self-employed women in the Netherlands can receive <strong>ZEZ (Zelfstandige en Zwanger-regeling)<\/strong> maternity benefits. This <strong>lasts at least 16 weeks<\/strong> and is paid by <strong>UWV (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount depends on the previous year\u2019s income but <strong>cannot exceed the minimum wage<\/strong>. Women must apply no earlier than <strong>week 24 of pregnancy<\/strong> and no later than <strong>two weeks before the benefit starts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luiza Niens:<\/strong> <em>\u201cIf a woman has worked at least <strong>1,225 hours in her business<\/strong> within a year, she will receive the maximum ZEZ benefit.
