Can I accept a B2B request outside of Handsome?

Technically yes, but you lose all administrative, legal and contractual coverage. Also, if the company reached you via your Handsome profile, the terms of use require the transaction to go through the platform.

How much do I receive for a B2B event?

The net per person you state, multiplied by the number of participants: you know it before you say yes, and it's exactly what you receive, with no hidden withholdings.

Can I decline a B2B request that Handsome proposes?

Yes, always. You have 24h to accept or decline. No penalties. If you decline, the company is redirected to another Maker.

Does Handsome also handle catering and logistics?

Yes if requested by the company. We have partners for catering, transfer, alternative venues. You declare what you can offer in your profile, we coordinate the rest.

Corporate B2B workshops: why receive requests only via Handsome

A B2B team building request can look like a huge opportunity: 20 attendees in a single day. But if you handle it directly with the company, you quickly discover the real work starts after: contracts to sign, the company's VAT to verify, possible penalties, HR paperwork for each employee. On Handsome we handle the relationship with the company. You focus on the workshop.

Golden rule: every corporate request you receive via WhatsApp or direct email, redirect to /aziende on Handsome. The customer fills the brief, Handsome closes the deal, you receive a clean confirmation.

What Handsome does with a B2B request

Receives the brief from the company (number of attendees, city, budget, date, event objective).
Verifies the customer: active VAT, legal name, contact with business email.
Chooses the right Maker for that request (it can be you, if you have B2B workshops enabled).
Negotiates final price, dates, extras (lunch, transfer, additional materials).
Sends the proposal to the company and follows it through to confirmation: only Handsome talks to the company.
You receive the final confirmation with all logistical details 7-14 days in advance.
You run the workshop and receive the net amount you already knew before accepting.

What you no longer have to do

Chase the company's procurement department for contract signing.
Manage negotiations on discounts, extra attendees, last-minute date changes.
Send reminders, info materials, attendee lists for HR.

How much does the artisan earn on B2B

On Handsome B2B pricing is transparent: you state your own net per attendee (e.g. €55) and you know exactly how much you'll get before accepting. Example: pottery workshop for 18 people at €55 net = €990 for you.

The net you state is the net you receive. No surprises, no hidden withholdings.

Why funneling everything through Handsome is also legally smart

Italian companies require for every supplier: DURC certification, chamber-of-commerce reports, workplace safety certifications (for events >10 people), professional liability insurance, GDPR privacy paperwork for attendees. Handsome has these requirements centralized for the entire platform. If you let a company contact you directly, they will ask all of these from you — and without structured paperwork it becomes complicated.

How to enable B2B workshops on your profile

You must be a verified Maker (active VAT).
Mark "Available for corporate B2B" in your profile (toggle in dashboard /artigiano/dashboard/profilo).
Set the maximum number of attendees you can manage (e.g. 20).
Specify any extras you can offer: partner catering, transfer, longer sessions.
Requests arrive via email + notification in the B2B dashboard (/artigiano/dashboard/b2b).

Ready-to-use sentence when a company contacts you on Instagram/email: 'Thanks for your interest! We manage all corporate requests through the Handsome platform, which takes care of everything from the proposal to the organisation. Submit here: handsomemakers.com/aziende and you'll get a reply within 24 hours and a tailored proposal within 2 working days.'
