How to become an EXPAT freelancer in the Netherlands (Start a business!)

Hello hello Everyone!

Cheryl here today. We've talked a lot about how to find a job and start a career as an expat in Amsterdam, Netherlands but we've never really touched about how to start a business. I actually moved to Amsterdam and registered myself as a sole proprietor when we first moved here. I've been running my business successfully for over a year now so I thought I would share the whole process of how to register and start your business in the Netherlands as a freelancer / sole proprietor.
