Local considerations in Belgium

BA-verzekering (public liability) is expected - mention it in every quote
Belgian residential clients increasingly ask for proof of public liability insurance before allowing work to start. Add one sentence to your quote prompt: 'All work covered by BA-verzekering (public liability insurance).' Clients who see it upfront rarely ask to see the policy.
Ask Dutch or French before sending any written communication
Belgian clients expect communication in their own language. Always send a brief WhatsApp first asking language preference before generating and sending a formal quote. A Flemish client who receives a French quote will often choose someone else.
Mention the BTW 6% benefit for eligible renovation tasks
For renovation work on residential properties older than 10 years, several handyman tasks qualify for 6% BTW instead of 21%. Add a note to your quote prompt flagging eligible work. Clients who realise the saving are much more likely to proceed.
Be clear about what you cannot legally do - it builds trust
Belgian clients sometimes ask handymen for full electrical or gas work. Being upfront that these require certified specialists (AREI/RGIE for electrical, ARGB for gas) builds trust rather than losing the job. Use the scope clarification prompt to explain this professionally and recommend a certified partner.
FAQ

Common Questions

How do I mention public liability insurance in Belgian client quotes?

Add to your quote prompt: 'Include a sentence stating that all work is covered by BA-verzekering (public liability insurance).' Belgian residential clients increasingly ask for this before work starts. Having it in the quote answers the question before it is asked and reduces friction before booking.

Should I always ask language preference before sending documents in Belgium?

Yes, always. Send a brief WhatsApp first: 'Do you prefer Dutch or French for the quote?' Belgian clients who receive communication in their preferred language respond at a much higher rate. A Flemish client who gets a French-language quote for handyman work often simply does not reply.

Can these prompts help me explain what work requires a certified tradesperson?

Yes. Use the scope clarification prompt to write a professional explanation that certain tasks - full electrical installation, gas work - legally require certified specialists. Being upfront about your limits builds trust and often leads to a referral relationship with a certified trade partner.

How do I include the BTW 6% benefit in quotes for eligible renovation tasks?

Add to your renovation quote prompt: 'Note that handyman renovation tasks on residential properties older than 10 years may qualify for BTW at 6% rather than 21%.' Clients who learn about the VAT benefit from you are more likely to proceed immediately. It is a simple addition that speeds up decisions.
