How to become a handyman in the Netherlands
The Dutch term klusjesman (handyman) covers a wide range of small repair and maintenance services. The barrier to entry is low — registration with the KvK (Chamber of Commerce) is the main requirement. Small operators may qualify for the kleineondernemersregeling (KOR), a VAT exemption for businesses earning under €20,000/year.
Dutch housing stock — much of it older buildings with ongoing maintenance needs — creates steady demand. Common handyman tasks in the Netherlands include hanging lamps and curtain rails (almost a national tradition when moving into a new rental), assembling furniture, fixing leaks, painting, and minor renovations.
