Which businesses do we support in Namur?
Namur has been the capital of Wallonia since 1986, and a 2010 decree confirmed it. The city hosts the Walloon Parliament, the Walloon Government and the regional administration. This institutional presence creates a particular kind of activity: consulting firms, liberal professions, associations and services to administrations. The historic centre, at the confluence of the Sambre and the Meuse, also supports local shops and a tourist offer. For an entrepreneur, Namur offers a practical advantage: the bodies that manage Walloon support are close by. This eases procedures for regional schemes, such as Airbag or business vouchers (chèques-entreprises). A Namur accountant can help you prepare your application files. They also advise you on your choice of legal form and help you track your VAT throughout the year.
In Namur, our accountants mostly support: liberal professions, retail, hospitality, real estate 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 Namur knows them.

Should I choose an accountant close to home?
It is not compulsory, but a local accountant knows your region's grants and can meet you. Most exchanges then happen remotely.
