【Becoming an “entrepreneur” in the Nederlands】

Here stats a semi-ironic, pseudo-serious thread narrating my journey in Dutch bureaucracy.

Today’s challenge is coming to Rotterdam’s Kamer van Koophandel (KVK), the Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands, to start a sole-entrepreneur business 😱

As you can see, I am not terrified. It consoles me to know that @barbs@gamedev.lgbt was here last week and she survived 😳

To be clear: I STILL AM ANTICAPITALIST but you gotta pay rent somehow.

The inside of the ground floor of Blaak 40, where KvK looks in Rotterdam, looks as neo-liberal as you can expect.

Free coffee and water, open WiFi. There is this sort of tree-like structure in the middle of the atrium? it makes me look like a saint 😇

Anyway, this place feels exactly the same as Agenzia delle Entrate offices in Italy. Neat, quiet, spacious.
