3 hrs confidence: 
leave it out completely Explanation: If you think about it, "Handelsonderneming [CLIENT\'S NAME] B.V." is a tautology so you can leave handelsonderning out of your sentence (unless it is part of the name as philgoddard says. |

5 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +5
peer agreement (net): +5retain it as given Explanation: Sorry to differ with you, Marijke but this is most likely part of the statutory name of the company. I think, Ruth, that if you have a look through your document, you will find that the places where the word Handelsonderneming is included in front of your client's name are particularly formal instances. I also think that it if is only meant to be descriptive (e.g. the trading company [CLIENT'S NAME] B.V. or the commercial venture [CLIENT'S NAME] B.V.), then it would be preceded by the definite article and would appear as De Handelsonderneming. So my advice is to retain it as it is. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2019-06-19 07:34:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I was typing this at the same time that Ruth was adding her entry to the discussion. The entry does not negate what I have said. A website is a sales document. Terms and Conditions are a legal document. I would search the website to make sure that Handelsonderneming does not appear anywhere at all. It may appear on a page headed something like "About us" or in small letters somewhere in a disclaimer. If it well and truly does not appear anywhere at all online, then please accept Marijke's answer. |
