500k to gain a foothold in Belgium as a Dutch entrepreneur

Entrepreneurship is not new for Bart Van der Meer (39). That's what doing business in Belgium is. When he hits a prime location along the Gentse Baan in Sint-Niklaas, he wants to open a Q8 gas station with a sandwich shop and a supermarket there. Said like that, but not so easily done.

Find the right funding mix based on your needs and opportunities

Each project is unique in terms of risk, amount, timeline, ambition, etc. So there is no one-size-fits-all solution for growth funding. With the right mix and a strong file, you can stand firm everywhere to enforce the best conditions.

Bank financing

Classic, but no less important pillar in growth funding.

Government funding

Complement your mix with growth funding from governments with attractive features.

Alternative funding

Think of alternatives such as crowdlending, factoring, leasing...

“This course was bumpy and the file so complicated that I would never have succeeded without The Harbour's professional intervention and expertise. I sent Daniel another message at the opening to thank him. Thanks to him, we are finally where we need to be.”
