00:00:05:03 - 00:00:08:06
Are you ready to officially
start your business?

00:00:08:09 - 00:00:11:02
Then register your business at KVK.

00:00:11:05 - 00:00:15:02
The exact registration procedure
depends on the legal structure you choose.

00:00:15:05 - 00:00:20:15
Go to KVK.nl/registration to find out
how to arrange it.

00:00:20:18 - 00:00:24:05
KVK then passes on your details
to the Tax Administration.

00:00:24:08 - 00:00:27:08
So you don't have to register your business
separately with them.

00:00:27:11 - 00:00:33:13
You will receive a notification from the Tax Administration,
including your VAT tax number and your VAT ID.

00:00:33:16 - 00:00:37:13
After registering your business,
KVK can also be of further help.

00:00:37:16 - 00:00:41:04
For example, with your questions about
financing, international business...

00:00:41:07 - 00:00:43:15
innovation, and new legislation.

00:00:43:18 - 00:00:46:07
What was the start like
for these entrepreneurs?

00:00:46:10 - 00:00:48:12
Yes, the registration. I remember it.

00:00:48:15 - 00:00:52:04
I can't forget that.
That was very exciting.

00:00:52:07 - 00:00:54:21
I thought: OK, I'm really going to do this now.

00:00:54:24 - 00:00:59:17
Registering went really smoothly, right?
It's just easy, online.

00:00:59:20 - 00:01:03:23
And then we did stop by,
the 2 of us, also to take a photo.

00:01:04:01 - 00:01:05:24
KVK has been a great help to me.

00:01:06:02 - 00:01:09:11
You register, but then for a moment, you think:
Okay, now what?

00:01:09:14 - 00:01:13:15
These days, of course, you can find a lot of
information online and that's great...

00:01:13:18 - 00:01:18:11
but you can still call and
ask someone for advice.

00:01:18:14 - 00:01:21:05
I remember that time I was
given a book.

00:01:21:08 - 00:01:24:17
Really, a huge book, with
all these tips and tricks.

00:01:24:20 - 00:01:27:17
So I already knew something,
and when we started the business...

00:01:27:20 - 00:01:29:20
we did find a lot online as well.

00:01:29:23 - 00:01:33:12
Some people think we have
the best job ever, and we do.

00:01:33:15 - 00:01:36:10
We have a very nice job,
but it's hard work.

00:01:36:13 - 00:01:38:19
Before this, if you worked for someone...

00:01:38:22 - 00:01:43:10
you had to follow certain standpoints
and a company handbook.

00:01:43:13 - 00:01:48:09
Then you might have ideas, but of course
you couldn't realise them very quickly...

00:01:48:12 - 00:01:50:14
if your boss didn't agree to them.

00:01:50:17 - 00:01:54:08
But now you have the freedom
that you can do that...

00:01:54:11 - 00:01:57:05
and can see for yourself
that it actually has an effect.

00:01:57:08 - 00:02:00:20
The best thing about entrepreneurship,
that we find...

00:02:00:23 - 00:02:03:22
is that you are reasonably free
in what you do. It's not that you...

00:02:04:00 - 00:02:08:15
We can't say, for example:
I'm going to take 3 weeks off.

00:02:08:18 - 00:02:13:12
The business isn't that far along yet,
but we can determine things for ourselves...

00:02:13:15 - 00:02:17:21
and by steering things correctly,
you see that it can have an impact.

00:02:17:24 - 00:02:20:01
And now it is time for action.

00:02:20:04 - 00:02:26:01
Find all the information about registering
with KVK at KVK.nl/registration.

00:02:26:04 - 00:02:29:14
Are you starting from a situation
where you receive benefits?

00:02:29:17 - 00:02:32:17
Then make sure you have permission
from authority issuing the benefit...

00:02:32:20 - 00:02:36:08
such as UWV or your municipality,
before you register.

00:02:37:00 - 00:02:37:21
