Business address in Zaventem or Brussels: which to choose?

An honest comparison for locating your registered office: cost, accessibility, image and compliance. The short answer is right below.

The short answer

Budget & simplicity

Zaventem. Business centres on the outskirts are generally more affordable than equivalent addresses in central Brussels.

Accessibility

Zaventem. Right on the ring road, Brussels Airport next door and free parking at Unita: your clients reach you hassle-free.

A “capital” address

Brussels. If your brand image or partners require “1000 Brussels”, the outskirts won't replace it.

Regional framework

Zaventem. Flanders offers an administrative environment distinct from the Brussels Region, valued by entrepreneurs.
