Startup Visa Application
- Incorporation Package with corporate support first year
- 1 hour assistance to improve your business plan/case
- Startup Visa application via Facilitator (extra fees apply for other family members)
This offer excludes the government fee (approx. 350 EUR).
The procedure at the facilitator looks like this:
- Fill in the application form
- The facilitator will decide whether to have the first call or not. This will be an intro call with me and the purpose is to get a better idea of the entrepreneur and what they are working on. (typically within 1 week). In the case of many startup facilitators, the ‘Jaar plan’ is already important. This means you should have a clear vision of what you like to achieve in the first 12 months, and how you ensure that after 12 months the company will be profitable, and be able to pay you both a fair salary. In the attachment, I covered this with the 5 milestones, which you should describe in detail. Especially on how to make a turnover, and how you will get the visitors/sales. Remember, the goal here is to create jobs, for which you need to be able to make a profit
- After this, they discuss it with the team and when it seems like a fit, they’ll invite for a second call (or visit) with their startup visa coaches. This call/visit will be a more in-depth look into the business plan and a chance for the mentors to meet the entrepreneur. (within 2 weeks after the first call) (possible via video call, if a visit is not possible)
- The decision to continue with facilitation or not is made after the call/visit/interview and they will let the applicant know (approx 1-2 weeks)
