Is there any legislation or licensing regulations we should take into account for a Canadian software company to operate and acquire clients in the Netherlands

Welcome Madeleine

As long as the software is yours to sell, I don't see any reasons why you can't approach Dutch potential customers.

Make sure you check Dutch VAT regulations before you start selling.

Does the company sell software development services, or previously made software?

Just keep the GDPR in mind, especially if the software collects any information or stores any information online.

And that it is not just about protecting privacy, but also has requirements on data portability.

In general, you are free to approach Dutch clients. Keep in mind local consumer laws for refunds and local payment methods.

GDPR is a good suggestion as well, since EU has certain requirements such as to store (European) company data in Europe. Which might be different from your local laws.

It also depends a lot if you are selling B2B or B2C in terms of what you need to consider.
