Which businesses do we support in La Louvière?
La Louvière is the main city of the Centre region, between Mons and Charleroi. Its industrial identity can still be seen in the Keramis Centre, built around the former Boch earthenware factory, which closed in 2011. Today the city has 12 business parks, intended for small, medium and large companies. The one in Strépy-Bracquegnies hosts 55 companies, mostly industrial. La Louvière is also known for its shops. Rue Albert Ier and the adjoining streets concentrate many retail businesses. This fabric mixes craftspeople, shopkeepers, restaurateurs and beauty salons. For these self-employed people, good management of VAT and social contributions determines profitability. A La Louvière accountant helps you keep close track of them. They also know the Walloon start-up support schemes and can point you towards them.
In La Louvière, our accountants mostly support: retail, construction, hospitality, beauty and wellness and transport.
In Wallonia, the Airbag scheme can pay up to €12,500 over two years to people who become self-employed as their main activity. Business vouchers (chèques-entreprises) cover part of advisory costs. Your eligibility depends on your situation: check it before you start.
The formalities are the same everywhere in Belgium: BCE registration through a business counter (guichet d'entreprises), VAT (TVA), social insurance fund. Start-up and employment grants, however, depend on your region (Wallonia). Your accountant in La Louvière knows them.
