Entrepreneurs pay an additional fee
If you are registered as an entrepreneur at the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), then your mortgage application requires extra attention. More information will be required in order to assess your financial position. In many cases, a more extensive approval process will be applied by the mortgage lender. Naturally, we want to serve entrepreneurs as best as possible. For this reason, we charge the following additional fees:
| Sole proprietorship income is required for financing | € 495 |
| Entrepreneur income from a partnership is required for financing | € 745 |
| Limited Liability / Entrepreneur DGA / BV income is required for financing | € 995 |
| Second Sole proprietorship | € 295 |
| Second partnership | € 395 |
| Second Limited Liability / Entrepreneur DGA / BV | € 495 |
| More than two enterprises (price per extra enterprise) | € 295 |
| Entrepreneurs’ income is not required to be eligible for financing | € 250 |
| Disability insurance for entrepreneurs during mortgage application | € 995 |
| Disability insurance for entrepreneurs | € 1,595 |
In addition, many lenders charge extra costs (€ 300-600) to determine your entrepreneur’s income. Your Viisi advisor can provide you with more information.
Why do we charge these expat rates?
We are sometimes asked by our expat customers why we charge a slightly higher base rate for expats. We are happy to explain how we structure our rates (since we aim for radical transparency)!
We help many different types of customers, and feel it is fair to differentiate our rates as much as possible according to the effort we put in. For example, we apply lower rates for first-time buyers, compared to homeowners looking to move on to other properties (as this entails more complex financing). Equally, it takes us less time to determine the income of someone in paid employment than a self-employed individual – another example of when we will apply different rates.
We have also noticed that our expat customers often require more extensive input from us than ‘locals’. Naturally, we want to be able to offer that extra focus, and our team of specialized expat advisors are happy to provide it.
The expat rates are applicable if you have indicated that your preferred communication language is English.
As a side note: our fee is tax-deductible!

Independent number of lenders
How many different mortgage providers are compared? At a bank, only mortgages from its own brand are offered. An independent advisor works with multiple lenders, allowing you to get better terms and/or a lower interest rate. In the Netherlands, there are approximately 40 lenders, so comparing almost always pays off!
