Around 30 percent more people have quit self-employment compared to last year
The number of self-employed people who signed themselves out at the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) has risen by 30 percent in 2024 compared to 2023. Around 77,000 people signed themselves out this year compared to 60,000 who signed themselves out during the first six months of 2023, according to Onderneming.nl. “We often ask retiring members about the reason for their deregistration, recently the answer has increasingly been that they are becoming employed,” said Frank Alfrink, the chairman of ZZP Nederland, an organization for self-employed people in the country.
