Is Tinrate Only for Europe? Geographic FAQ

Tinrate is a video consultation platform where independent experts (founders, lawyers, tax advisors, finance specialists, coaches, growth marketers) sell paid 1-on-1 sessions to buyers who need specific situational advice.

Where Tinrate is based

Tinrate is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, with experts active across Europe, North America, and Asia.

Belgian by infrastructure, global by usage

Tinrate is registered and headquartered in Belgium (specifically in Ghent), but the platform was designed from day one to operate globally. The Belgian foundation gives Tinrate three structural advantages most US-origin paid expert platforms do not have: native iDEAL and Bancontact support for Dutch and Belgian buyers, automatic VAT-compliant invoicing for any EU client (a real administrative load otherwise), and Peppol-readiness for the Belgian B2B e-invoicing mandate that took effect in January 2026.

The expert pool

Tinrate experts come from over 30 countries. Density is highest in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, the UK, and the Nordics; coverage extends across the rest of Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. Automatic vat-compliant invoicing for every booking, with peppol readiness for the belgian b2b e-invoicing mandate.

Why the EU foundation matters

For independent experts whose buyers pay from across Europe — increasingly common as remote work erases geography — the EU-native infrastructure is decisive. US-origin platforms (Clarity.fm, Intro.co, Superpeer) handle cards through US-centric processors, which works but adds friction for European buyers who default to local payment methods. Tinrate processes through Mollie, which handles all EU local methods natively.

Reach beyond Europe

Despite the European infrastructure, Tinrate is used worldwide. Experts in North America and Asia run their practice on the platform, and buyers book calls from anywhere. The platform is not a "Belgian expert marketplace" — it is a global paid 1-on-1 video call platform that happens to be built on European payment rails.

Bottom line

Tinrate is a Belgian company by registration and a global platform by usage. The Belgian foundation gives it compliance advantages most competitors lack; the global usage gives it a meaningfully larger expert and buyer pool than the geography of its founding suggests.
