Grant for young companies in Gelderland, Overijssel and Flevoland changes

Grant entrepreneurial coaching Flevoland hold up end of year, Gelderland may change on criteria

Change 1: Companies younger than 6 years in Gelderland and Overijssel could apply for 1000 euro subsidy per entrepreneur on entrepreneurial coaching and 1000 euros on a training course. This is 80% of the costs incurred. And for companies with 2 owners, for example, the amount applies twice because it is per person instead of per company. The expectation is that from January the criteria for which companies are allowed to participate may change quite a bit and will be narrower than now.

At Flevoland, there is a 50% subsidy for entrepreneurs regardless of the age of their business. This involves a maximum of  5000 euros per application. This scheme expires at the end of 2020 so don’t wait too long for this.

Doing business with Germany is not as easy as it seems!

Our cooperation partner Strick Rechtsanwälte & Steuerberaterhave written a lucid piece on the so-called Kaufmännische Bestätigungsschreiben. This piece of German legislation is completely different from Dutch legislation, but can greatly affect Dutch companies when doing business with business parties at our eastern neighbors.

Read this article If you already do business with Germany or plan to do so! If you have questions about doing business with Germany or other countries, check to see what your Brilliant Work export coach can do for you and whether Strick’s help would be helpful. Grants are available in both cases!
