How do you start as a self-employed person?
Since 2003, you can as a starter-entrepreneur approach the business office to settle a large number of formalities.

There you will receive your unique business operating number. This single number replaces the former, separate numbers for VAT, commercial registry registration, and the like.

This business operating number will identify you to the Central Social Security Data Bank for Business Enterprises. A large number of administrative offices contact that office for official information. This will save you from having to repeat over and over again the same kind of information that is already on file with government offices.

The business office will also put you in contact with a social insurance fund. 
You need to affiliate yourself with a social insurance fund for your own social security.

In addition, the office will ensure that you are/remain affiliated with a health care fund.

For all other starter formalities that are not directly connected with the social status, you can access the website of the Federal Public Service Economy, SMEs, Self-employed and Energy.

Note ! Do you wish free affiliation with the Nationale Hulpkas? We do not operate a business office. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
