00:00:05:08 - 00:00:09:15
You don’t need an entrepreneurship degree
to start a business.

00:00:09:18 - 00:00:15:04
Still, as an entrepreneur, you might have to meet
specific professional requirements or arrange permits.

00:00:15:07 - 00:00:17:23
To follow the rules in
hospitality, the transport sector…

00:00:18:01 - 00:00:22:02
the financial services industry,
or marketplace and street trading, for example.

00:00:22:05 - 00:00:25:22
Municipal permits are required if
you want to remodel your business premises…

00:00:26:00 - 00:00:29:04
Or, for example, if you
want to put up an advertising sign.

00:00:29:07 - 00:00:33:20
If you start a business from home, check whether
that fits your municipality's zoning plan.

00:00:33:23 - 00:00:35:21
This depends on the type of business.

00:00:35:24 - 00:00:39:06
For example, whether you receive customers
or work with machines.

00:00:39:09 - 00:00:42:21
These entrepreneurs share about
what they had to take into account.

00:00:42:24 - 00:00:45:11
For a zoning plan at the municipality.

00:00:45:14 - 00:00:49:01
The business had to be a good fit
in the street and the neighbourhood.

00:00:49:04 - 00:00:52:01
It all had to fit together.

00:00:52:04 - 00:00:55:15
For each showroom we have
the right zoning at that location.

00:00:55:18 - 00:00:59:01
So you have to be able to sell furniture there.
For the factory, the same applies.

00:00:59:04 - 00:01:01:24
In this place, you have to be able to
conduct heavy industry...

00:01:02:02 - 00:01:04:20
because otherwise we are not allowed to
use any machinery...

00:01:04:23 - 00:01:06:21
we cannot allow trucks to load and unload.

00:01:06:24 - 00:01:11:09
So the right zoning at the location
is very important.

00:01:11:12 - 00:01:14:03
We have no legal requirements
and no permits.

00:01:14:06 - 00:01:17:16
No, we are digital nomads.
-Yes, we can work anywhere.

00:01:17:19 - 00:01:21:14
We can work anywhere
as long as we have a laptop and a phone.

00:01:21:17 - 00:01:24:17
It was actually a coincidence,
because my home is in this street.

00:01:24:20 - 00:01:26:21
So I also always ride my bike
to work.

00:01:26:24 - 00:01:31:20
And this space was vacant, so I thought:
I want to start something, why not here?

00:01:31:23 - 00:01:34:05
And I know the neighbourhood, I know the people.

00:01:34:08 - 00:01:38:04
So it was really nice
to start at this location.

00:01:38:18 - 00:01:40:17
And now it is time for action.

00:01:40:20 - 00:01:45:01
Find out if any special permits or
legal requirements apply to your industry.

00:01:45:04 - 00:01:49:09
If you are starting a business from home, check
the zoning plan with your municipality.

00:01:49:12 - 00:01:52:18
Are you starting from a business premises?
Check the zoning plan…

00:01:52:21 - 00:01:56:17
and find out whether you need an
all-in-one permit for physical aspects.

00:01:56:20 - 00:02:00:23
And do you work with personal data?
Make sure your company is GDPR-proof.
