What is zzp?

ZZP is a Dutch acronym that stands for "zelfstandige zonder personeel," which translates to "self-employed without personnel" in English. It refers to individuals who work as independent contractors or freelancers, providing their services to clients without being employed by a company. ZZP is a common term used in the Netherlands and is often used to describe a growing trend towards flexible, project-based work arrangements. As a ZZP'er, individuals are responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and other business-related expenses, and must find their own clients to work with. Some common examples of professions that fall under the ZZP category include writers, photographers, web designers, and consultants.
