What SoloPartners does

SoloPartners is a Dutch membership-based trade association headquartered in Oss, North Brabant, that serves self-employed healthcare professionals (ZZP'ers) in the Netherlands. Founded in 2013 by Edwin Jansen and Martijn van Schaik, the organization provides administrative, fiscal, legal, and sector-specific guidance tailored to Dutch healthcare regulation, including the Wet DBA framework, Wkkgz, BIG registration, and PGB administration. It also engages in collective regulatory advocacy on behalf of its members, notably through co-founding VZN in 2021 and commissioning an SEO Economic Research study of the sector in 2025.

The company operates a three-tier subscription model: SoloCompleet at €160 per year (full-service bundle including insurance templates, contract review, and policy influence), SoloPlus at €75 per year plus a €20 entry fee (standard membership), and a free SoloKennis tier that provides content-led acquisition. Revenue is generated from these subscriptions and from paid training and webinars. The platform architecture is membership- and content-driven rather than technology-intensive, and SoloPartners positions itself as the largest sector organization for Dutch self-employed healthcare workers, with 32,000+ members and a 22-person team.

In January 2025 the operating BV was complemented by Vereniging SoloPartners, a formal association that gives members direct governance representation. The combination of regulatory expertise, an installed member base, and formal association status forms the core of SoloPartners' commercial and political position in the Dutch ZZP healthcare market.

Direct peers

• KNMT (Koninklijke Nederlandse Maatschappij tot bevordering der Tandheelkunde): Dutch professional association for dentists that combines membership services with regulatory advocacy and practice support — directly comparable brancheorganisatie model serving self-employed Dutch healthcare professionals.
• KNGF (Koninklijk Nederlands Genootschap voor Fysiotherapie): Dutch association for physiotherapists, many of whom operate as ZZP'ers; offers member services, quality frameworks, and advocacy similar in structure to SoloPartners' healthcare ZZP membership.
• IPSE (Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed): UK membership organization for freelancers and self-employed professionals providing advocacy, representation, and member services — structurally identical model to SoloPartners, but for the broader UK self-employed population.
• LHV (Landelijke Huisartsen Vereniging): Dutch GPs' professional association providing membership services, advocacy, and practice support to (largely self-employed) Dutch primary-care physicians — comparable brancheorganisatie model.
• NIP (Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen): Dutch professional association for psychologists (many of whom are self-employed/ZZP), combining membership, quality standards, advocacy, and member support — same brancheorganisatie approach within healthcare.

Broad incumbents

• VvAA: Dutch member organization providing financial, legal, and practice support to (self-employed) healthcare professionals; overlaps with SoloPartners' compliance/contract offering but serves multiple healthcare professions, not a single niche.
• V&VN (Verpleegkundigen & Verzorgenden Nederland): Largest Dutch professional association for nurses and carers; broader scope than SoloPartners because it covers employed and self-employed nurses, but uses the same brancheorganisatie playbook for advocacy and member services.
