Chamber of commerce

The Netherlands Chamber of Commerce manages the trade register. The Chamber's other tasks are to provide Dutch entrepreneurs with information, stimulate regional trade & industry and advise local and regional government. The Netherlands Chamber of Commerce is incorporated under public law and, as such, targets its services at Dutch businesses across all sectors.

The first main task of the Chamber of Commerce is to implement economic legislation, including the Trade Register Act. These laws have been introduced to enable businesses to benefit from reliable information recorded by an impartial organization.

Information is the second main task of the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber gives general and specific information to all entrepreneurs operating in the Netherlands.

As an independent helpdesk and guide, the Chamber answers questions and points aspiring entrepreneurs in the right direction. Existing businesses are, of course; equally welcome to use the Chamber's services. Small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, take advantage of the expertise offered in many fields.

The core package of information services is grouped into five specializations, namely:

The entrepreneur is assisted in the first instance by office staff that is trained to provide general information on a broad variety of subjects. More specific questions are referred to the Chamber's in-house specialists or outside experts such as Syntens, accountants and industry organizations.

Entrepreneurs who want to know more about the organization can visit their regional Chamber free of charge or go to our site. Further information is available through an extensive range of brochures and seminars. If you have more specific questions or problems, you can make an appointment for a personal talk with one of the Chamber's specialists.
