Goirle borders Tilburg, so many business owners here compete with a city. That doesn't have to be a disadvantage: if you focus on your own municipality and the villages around it, you often reach the top faster than if you take on all of Tilburg.
Twenty minutes from Weelde, just across the border. I invoice Dutch businesses with VAT reverse-charged.
Goirle has many installers, construction firms, healthcare providers, hospitality businesses and freelancers. Their customers come from Goirle, Riel and the edge of Tilburg. Yet many sites aim straight at Tilburg, where the competition is toughest.
Starting with your own municipality brings in enquiries faster. Only once that is working does it make sense to add the city.
I'm twenty minutes down the road and simply come by. That makes a difference in pace and in price.
I invoice Dutch companies without Belgian VAT. You account for it in the Netherlands.
I write in the Dutch your customers use, not in Flemish that is just slightly off.
Yes, that's a large part of my cross-border work. Invoicing is done with VAT reverse-charged; your accountant sorts that out in no time.
Yes, but that's a tougher contest. My advice is usually to win Goirle and Riel first and expand from there.
Meetings at your place or online, and in between simply by phone or email. You always talk to me.
Half an hour in Goirle or online. You'll hear straight away whether you'd do better aiming at your own municipality or at Tilburg.
