Knowledge
Knowledge base for internationals.
Doing business online in the Netherlands comes with its own vocabulary: KvK, iDEAL, AVG, BV, google.nl. This knowledge base explains each piece in plain English — answer first, depth after.
How this knowledge base works
Every article answers one question an international entrepreneur in the Netherlands actually asks, with the complete answer in the first paragraph and the depth below it — the same citable format we build for clients. Eighteen guides so far, covering company essentials (the Dutch BV, the KvK), the Dutch web (iDEAL, .nl domains, trust marks), the rules (GDPR, cookies, accessibility, legal requirements) and being found (google.nl, AI visibility, reaching expats).

Rules and visibility
The legal side in plain English: mandatory website details, GDPR (the Dutch AVG), cookie consent and the European accessibility rules. And the visibility side: ranking on google.nl, choosing Dutch or English for your site, reaching the expat market, and becoming the answer AI assistants give.
