Accountant in Louvain-la-Neuve

Louvain-la-Neuve, in the municipality of Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, is a city built around UCLouvain. Its science park, the first in Wallonia, brings together nearly 300 companies and 7,300 jobs over 231 hectares. It hosts university spin-offs, such as E-Peas, and players in life sciences, IT and engineering. These companies recruit UCLouvain graduates, which feeds an ecosystem of young companies. Around the campus, student life supports many restaurants, shops and non-profits. For a founder coming out of the university, two questions arise from the first contract. Should you choose self-employed status or a company (BV)? How do you manage VAT? A local accountant knows this audience and its needs. They help you decide without wasting time.

In Louvain-la-Neuve, our accountants mostly support: freelancers, e-commerce, liberal professions, hospitality and non-profits.

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 Louvain-la-Neuve knows them.
