Do I need my own business ID?

You don't need your own business ID. As a light entrepreneur, you invoice using Truster's business ID, saving you from registration notifications and bureaucracy.

You don't need to. As a light entrepreneur, you operate under our business ID, which makes it extremely easy to start (and stop) your business.

How does it work in practice?

  • No paperwork: You don't need to file a start-up notification with the trade register or worry about VAT returns and advance tax payments.
  • Invoicing: When you send an invoice through us, it will display Truster's business ID. For your customer, this is a sign that invoicing is handled by a professional partner.
  • Value added tax: Even if you do not have your own company, value added tax will appear on your invoices (because Truster VAT liable). Business customers can deduct this as normal.

This is the biggest difference between light entrepreneurship and a trade name: we take care of the bureaucracy behind the scenes so that you can focus solely on your work. If your business grows large, you can later register for your own business ID, but it's easiest to get started without one.
