The Government is facilitating entrepreneurship
Starting a business requires time, organization, and many administrative steps. To support freelancers and small and medium-sized enterprises, the Belgian federal government recently presented its new SME Plan, a set of 89 measures aimed at making entrepreneurship more accessible, competitive, and resilient.
The goal is clear: to encourage business creation in Belgium, support existing entrepreneurs, and reduce certain administrative barriers that too often complicate the launch of an activity.
What are the main new features?
Among the announced measures, several particularly catch the attention of future entrepreneurs:
✔ Easier access to financing
Access to financing often represents one of the biggest challenges when starting a business. The SME Plan includes several initiatives aimed at improving financing opportunities for freelancers and small businesses, in order to facilitate the development of new projects.
✔ More accessible public markets
Small businesses will have more opportunities to participate in public markets thanks to simplified procedures. Excellent news for entrepreneurs looking to develop their business with administrations and public organizations.
✔ A second chance for entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurship always involves a degree of risk. That is why the Government is also reinforcing the principle of "right to a second chance" for entrepreneurs who have experienced a non-fraudulent bankruptcy. This approach promotes entrepreneurial recovery and encourages innovation without permanently penalizing those who acted in good faith.
An opportunity for future entrepreneurs
These new measures demonstrate a willingness to create a more favorable environment for business development in Belgium.
For many entrepreneurs, this may be the right time to realize a long-postponed project. In Flanders, many activities can actually be carried out without a professional access diploma, which further facilitates the launch of an activity for certain sectors, provided that applicable regulations are respected.
Whether you want to create a company in construction, hairdressing, commerce, services, consulting, IT, fashion, or other fields, it is essential to start with a solid structure.
The importance of good support
Even though the processes are gradually becoming simpler, starting a business still involves several essential steps:
- choose the right legal form (SRL/BV, SA, ASBL…) ;
- establish a head office in Flanders suitable for your activity ;
- complete the administrative formalities with the BCE and VAT ;
- ensure compliance with legal obligations ;
- efficiently organize the administrative management of your company.
Professional support not only saves time but also helps avoid mistakes that can delay the launch of your business.
