The Dutch paperwork, in plain English

Buying a house, filing a return, choosing health insurance, moving your things. Read how each one works, run the numbers, and when you want help, one request reaches up to three independent advisers who work in English. You see their names before you agree.

What happens when you send a request

  1. You say how to reach you Name and e-mail, and a phone number if you like. For tax or a move a few questions help the quote; for a mortgage we ask nothing about your finances.
  2. You see who will receive it The advisers are named next to the line you agree to, with the register you can check them in. Nobody else gets your details.
  3. They contact you directly Usually within a working day. You choose one, or none, and owe us nothing either way.
What we keep of your agreement Example record

Why this costs you nothing

Advisers pay us for an introduction. That is the whole business model, and it has one consequence worth knowing: we are paid whether or not their advice suits you. Judge the advice on its own merits, and get a second opinion when the numbers are large.

What you pay us € 0
Who pays us The adviser you were introduced to, a fixed fee per request
Are we paid when the advice is poor? Yes, the same amount. So the advice is yours to judge.

What we are not

We are not an adviser and we do not sell financial products. We do not recommend a lender, a rate or an insurer. Advice comes from the licensed advisers you choose to hear from.
