Teamleader
✓ Verified by EU AltsCRM, invoicing and project management in one platform for SMEs — a Belgian alternative to HubSpot.
Overview
Teamleader is a Ghent, Belgium-based European company building crm and saas software since 2012. Despite its EU base, EU Alts has verified that Teamleader is owned by Visma Software International AS / Visma Group (Norway) — acquired Teamleader in 2022 (Belgium), and hosts customer data with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Ireland, so it may still fall under the reach of the US CLOUD Act — worth weighing against Salesforce and HubSpot on this specific point.
Why European teams pick Teamleader
Teams in Europe still consider Teamleader for its crm product and Belgium presence, operating since 2012, but unlike a fully EU-owned provider, Teamleader is owned by Visma Software International AS / Visma Group (Norway) — acquired Teamleader in 2022 (Belgium), and hosts customer data with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Ireland — so it does not fully avoid US CLOUD Act exposure the way some other alternatives to Salesforce and HubSpot do.

Frequently asked questions
What does Teamleader do?
Teamleader is crm, invoicing and project management in one platform for smes — a belgian alternative to hubspot. It is listed under crm and saas on EU Alts because its core functionality serves teams looking for a European crm tool with EU data residency, typically as a switch away from Salesforce and HubSpot.
Is Teamleader GDPR compliant?
Teamleader is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium and processes user data under the GDPR by default. Customer data processing is supervised by Belgium's data protection authority, the Autorité de protection des données (APD/GBA). However, EU Alts has verified that Teamleader is owned by Visma Software International AS / Visma Group (Norway) — acquired Teamleader in 2022 (Belgium), and hosts customer data with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Ireland, which means — unlike a fully EU-owned provider — it may still be reachable under the US CLOUD Act, similar to Salesforce and HubSpot in that respect.
How do teams switch from Salesforce to Teamleader?
Teams evaluating a move from Salesforce and HubSpot to Teamleader should note: Teamleader is owned by Visma Software International AS / Visma Group (Norway) — acquired Teamleader in 2022 (Belgium), and hosts customer data with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Ireland, so this switch narrows but may not fully close the US CLOUD Act gap. Weigh that against the crm workflow fit before treating it as a complete Schrems II fix.
