Orientation Phase

Like all countries, The Netherlands has its own business environment, culture and habits. Naturally, as a foreign company you will need to adapt to the environment. The orientation phase is the phase when the business undertakes the step to find out whether it makes sense to establish its business in a specific country.

To find out whether your business would derive valuable benefits in The Netherlands, Holland Gateway would be happy to welcome you as our guest. Together, we can start to explore the situation and the various opportunities around you.

The orientation phase should answer the questions whether or not your company will be able to flourish in the Netherlands. In the orientation phase, we would like you to gather as many impressions and information as possible to allow you to have a clearer picture of the business landscape. Our consultants will do their utmost to understand your business needs, guide and connect you to all relevant parties to answer all your questions.

The broad orientation phase is focused on a number of aspects of your business needs:

(a) The mainline of your business and how it connects to the cluster of service providers, customers, suppliers, workforce and knowledge in the Netherlands
(b) Determine how an operation in The Netherlands can optimise the portfolio and performance of your entire organisation and how it meets your needs for the European market
(c) Specific location and infrastructural needs to optimize your business operation
(d) Specific support you would require to establish your business
(e) Cultural and practical matters

Holland Gateway will provide the explanation and details of ways to deal with each of these aspects. We will also include the subsequent descriptions of the various steps in settling your business in The Netherlands.
