We work for entrepreneurs. Based on their needs, we develop and provide our services (within our range of statutory tasks): information, advice and support. We have access to in-house expertise and extensive research data, and the Dutch Commercial Register is a major resource. Our services are geared towards the specific needs different types of entrepreneurs have, whether they are starting businesses, self-employed professionals (zzp-ers), small SMEs, larger SMEs or corporates.
Advisory services:
What does starting a business involve? How should entrepreneurs draw up an export plan? Entrepreneurs can contact us for expert advice and customised information on the main entrepreneurial topics – from starting your own company to financing, innovating and expanding in the Netherlands and beyond its borders. We distribute information digitally through our website, webinars and apps, and individually through our e-consulting and telephone advisory services. In addition, we regularly organise regional events and meetings.
