How to start a Relocation Concierge for Intra-EU Moves business: plan and growth
An EU citizen moving from Belgium to Spain expected residency registration to be a formality; getting the appointment and meeting requirements took weeks of surprise bureaucracy.
An owner can start “Relocation Concierge for Intra-EU Moves” from a complaint people already posted. The offer, in one line: Country-specific checklists and appointment booking for EU citizens moving between EU states. It is for EU citizens and expats. Charge a done-for-you service, and test a price between $50 and $199 a month. Begin in the EU. Buyers already talk about this in r/digitalnomad. One thread gathered 31 votes and 117 replies across Sep 14, 2026 – Oct 14, 2026. Use that room to meet the first twenty buyers. Do not export it, and do not republish the posts. The idea, the evidence, and the market estimate on this page are free to read. Two paid prompts finish the job: one drafts the offer, the price, and a ninety-day calendar; the other drafts a month of conversations and proof. One credit unlocks both. A software specification is not on this site. When the company is the product itself, a single link further down opens the founder library.

Market size
An estimate, built from the bottom up: real customer counts × a realistic price. It shows the size of the prize, not a forecast.
TAM Total addressable
$90M a year
150,000 movers · 10% of people moving between EU countries each year
SAM Serviceable
$18M a year
30,000 movers · the largest corridors, English first
SOM Obtainable in 3 years
$180K a year
300 movers · 1% of the reachable segment in three years
What that means
300 movers a year × ~$600 = $180K a year in revenue
Medium confidence · estimated Oct 2026
How we estimated this
- Base: 1,500,000 people moving between EU countries each year.
- Has the problem: 10% (assume 1 in 10 movers pays for help).
- Revenue per mover: $600 per year (~$600 per move).
- Reachable: 20% (the largest corridors, English first).
- Three-year capture: 1% of the reachable segment.
TAM is customers with the problem × revenue per customer. SAM is the part a new business can reach. SOM is a cautious three-year share of SAM. The bars use a log scale. A share marked “assume” is our judgment, not a measurement.

Questions
How much money do I need to start?
Enough to talk to buyers and deliver the offer once. A service version can start with a written process and a way to take payment. A software version is a larger bet and is not required to test the price. The band to test is $50–199 a month.
How should I price it?
Test a price between $50 and $199 a month, charged as a done-for-you service. Raise it after three paid pilots, not before the first conversation.
Where do the first customers come from?
r/digitalnomad is the clue. A related thread gathered 31 votes and 117 replies. Show up there, follow the room's rules, and ask for conversations. Do not scrape it.
Do I need to write code?
No. The prompts on this page draft a plan and a month of growth. Code is a later choice. The founder site linked once below is where the build document lives, if you want it.
When the business is the software itself, the specification lives on the founder site. Read the agent PRD
A two-week build starts at $10,000 on that site, after a $1,000 scoping fee.
