Business Station to the Rescue
For alumni and students running own (freelance) businesses
Now that we are in yet another lockdown week it becomes apparent how hard our sector is being hit. Navigating this new reality can be very demanding. Of course, you are creative and resilient, but at the end of the day, you also need to keep your businesses going. Bills need to get paid.
We are collecting experiences of creatives dealing with TOZO, TOGS, postponing tax payments, jobs drying up, non-paying clients, etc. We want to share our insights with you. We would also like to share the expertise we have in-house at the Business Station in the field of entrepreneurship to help you with these challenges.
We can help:
- providing the correct information about the government's arrangements;
- sharing relevant online sources;
- with specific business advice;
- lending a sympathetic ear (yes you may rant);
- collecting your stories, tips and tricks.
Anyone who wants to have a personal conversation is welcome to contact us directly. Please drop us an e-mail at wdka.businessstation@hr.nl and we will contact you asap.
