How do clients in Greece find consultants on Websta?

People search Websta by service type and location. They can search for 'consulting' plus their area - for example, 'consulting in Athens' - or they can browse consultants in their region. They also post tasks describing what they need, and consultants make offers in response. Make sure your profile clearly states your specialisation and location so you show up in relevant searches.

Do I need to register with the Greek tax authority to use Websta?

Yes. You must be registered as a self-employed professional or sole trader with the Greek tax authority to work as a consultant and receive payments through Websta. Check the current registration requirements with your local tax office - rules may vary depending on your income and whether you register for VAT. An accountant can help you with the process.

Should I publish my profile in Greek, English, or both?

Publish in both Greek and English. Most Greek business clients use both languages, and English is standard in Greek business. This makes your profile visible to more potential clients - both those who prefer Greek and those working for international companies or branches in Greece.

Can I set fixed prices for my services, or should I use quote requests?

You can do either. If you offer standard services with set lengths and prices - like a one-hour strategy session - you can set these up for direct booking. For custom engagements where scope or length varies, use quote requests. Clients describe their needs, and you respond with a proposal. Many consultants use both approaches for different types of work.

What documents or insurance do I need to start?

At minimum you need registration with the Greek tax authority. You will also need a business bank account so Websta can pay you. Check with an accountant whether you need professional indemnity insurance for your type of consulting - some specialisations require it. Requirements vary by the type of advice you give.

How to set up a consultant profile on Websta in Greece

Updated October 21, 2026

What to include in your profile

Your profile page needs a professional photo of yourself - this matters more for consulting than for many other services because clients want to know who they are working with. A clear headshot taken in natural light or professional setting works best.

Write a short description of your consulting focus. Say what areas you work in - for example, business strategy, marketing, human resources, financial planning, or another specialisation. Keep it direct: what problems do you solve, and who typically hires you.

List your services as separate items. Each service should have a clear name and brief description of what it includes. You can add a service if clients often ask for something specific.

Include location information. Websta shows consultants by region, so set your profile to the area where you work or where clients can reach you. If you work across multiple regions in Greece or travel to meet clients, mention this in your description or availability notes.

Add photos of your workspace if you have one - an office, meeting room, or even a professional home setup. Clients booking a consultation want to know where the meeting will take place.

Services and booking options on your profile

Decide whether clients can book time directly in your calendar or whether they should request a quote first. Many consultants use quote requests because each engagement may be different in scope, length, or cost. This lets you discuss the client's needs before confirming details.

If you offer standard services with set lengths - for example, a one-hour strategy session or a half-day workshop - you can set these up as bookable services with available time slots. Clients see your calendar and book directly.

For custom engagements, use the quote request option. Clients describe what they need, and you respond with your proposal and availability. This works well for consulting because it lets you clarify the project scope before the client commits.

Languages and reaching Greek clients

Publish your profile in Greek and English. Most Greek business owners, managers, and decision-makers who search for consultants online use both languages, and English is standard in Greek business. Having both languages means you reach local clients who prefer Greek and international clients or businesses operating in Greece.

People in Greece search for consultants by service type and location. Websta's marketplace lets them filter by consulting services and by region - Athens, Thessaloniki, or other areas. Make sure your service categories match how clients search: use clear terms like 'business consulting', 'marketing consulting', or 'financial consulting' rather than vague descriptions.

Write your profile text simply and directly. Clients scanning profiles want to understand quickly what you do. Avoid jargon unless it is your actual specialisation.

How clients find consultants in Greece

On Websta, people search for consultants in their area and browse profiles by service. They can also post a task describing what they need - for example, 'I need help with a business plan for my retail shop' - and consultants can make offers on that task. You can respond to task posts from clients in your region and specialisation.

Beyond Websta, Greek businesses find consultants through local referrals, LinkedIn, and Google Search. Having a Websta profile means you show up when people search locally for your service in your area. Make sure your profile description includes keywords that match how people actually describe what they need.

What to arrange as an independent consultant

Register as a self-employed professional or sole trader with the tax authority if you have not already. In Greece this is handled through the Independent Professionals Register (Μητρώο Ελεύθερων Επαγγελματιών). Check the current requirements with your local tax office or a Greek accountant - rules change and depend on your income level and whether you are registering for VAT.

Set up a business bank account so client payments go to your own account. Websta uses Stripe to process card payments and pay them to the bank account details you provide. You do not need a separate company; a sole trader account works.

Keep records of your invoices and income as required by Greek tax law. Most consultants invoice clients for their time or project fees. Confirm with an accountant whether you need to issue formal invoices through an accounting system for Websta payments.

Check whether you need professional insurance or liability cover for your type of consulting. Some types of consulting - financial, legal, or technical advice - may require professional indemnity insurance depending on your work. This is something to verify with an insurance broker or your professional association if you belong to one.

What to write in your first hour

Start with a clear headline describing your main consulting focus - 'Business Strategy Consultant' or 'Marketing Consultant for Small Businesses' works better than a generic title.

Write two or three sentences explaining what you do and who you work with. Example: 'I help small retail businesses develop growth strategies and improve operations. I work with shop owners and managers in Athens and the wider Attica region.'

List three to five main services. Keep each one short: 'Business plan development', 'Financial planning advice', 'Workshop facilitation', 'Process improvement'. You can add more later.

Add your location - the region or regions where you work.

Upload a professional photo of yourself.

Add your contact information and any social media profiles if you have them. You can update everything later as you refine your approach.
