Which businesses do we support in Verviers?
In the 19th century, Verviers was one of Belgium's richest cities thanks to wool. The soft water of the Vesdre was ideal for washing fleeces. The decline of textiles began between the two wars and was complete by the 1950s. In July 2021, floods hit the valley hard: the Traitex plant, Belgium's last wool-washing facility, was submerged. A budget of €453 million was then set aside for restoring the riverbanks and for so-called resilient reconstruction. Local companies, such as Verviers Freins, reopened after the disaster. For a self-employed person or a company (BV) in Verviers, cash-flow management and VAT after a disaster require precise follow-up. A local accountant supports you in these situations.
In Verviers, our accountants mostly support: retail, construction, hospitality, healthcare professionals and beauty and wellness.

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 Verviers knows them.
