PROFOYO™
For international companies hiring in the Netherlands

Hire Dutch freelancers — without misclassification risk.

PROFOYO is the compliance layer for engaging Dutch independent contractors under the Zelfstandigenwet (formerly Wet DBA). Every freelancer ships with a verified Compliance Passport, every contract is bench-tested against the 5+4 framework, and every engagement leaves an auditable dossier.

Why this matters in 2026

The Dutch Tax Authority (Belastingdienst) resumed full enforcement on misclassified independent contractors in January 2025. Foreign companies engaging Dutch freelancers are equally liable for retroactive payroll tax, social premiums, and penalties — up to five years back. PROFOYO eliminates that exposure.

Verified Compliance Passport

Every freelancer carries a live 0–100 compliance score, KVK-verified business registration, insurance status, and client diversification metrics. Refreshed continuously.

Zelfstandigenwet-proof contracts

AI-generated contracts test against the 5+4 framework (substantive criteria + entrepreneurship indicators), include the 10 mandatory clauses, and lock in two-sided e-signing.

Controleerbaar dossier

Time entries, invoices, deliverables, and meeting notes are bundled per engagement. Export a defensible PDF dossier if the Belastingdienst comes knocking.
