Do you want to do business inside the European Union (EU)? The EU gives you the information about doing business in the EU country of your choice via the Single Digital Gateway portal: YourEurope. The portal has information about rules and regulations in every EU country.

YourEurope

YourEurope is the EU web portal designed to help individuals and businesses who want to live, work or do business in any of the EU countries. YourEurope offers:

  • information on your basic rights under EU law;
  • how these rights are implemented in each individual country (where information has been provided by the national authorities);
  • free email or telephone contact with EU assistance services, to get more personalised or detailed help and advice.

Point of Single Contact websites

Via the Single Digital Gateway, all member states plus Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and the United Kingdom provide a Point of Single Contact website (PSC). This is a government website for entrepreneurs. Through the Points of Single Contact, you can arrange some things directly like applying for a licence. And you can find information by country on, for example:

  • starting a business
  • laws and regulations
  • procedures and permits
  • taxes
  • social security

You will also often read this information on the Your Europe website as well as the PSC websites.

PSC website for the Netherlands

Business.gov.nl is the English-language PSC website for the Netherlands. It provides information about living, working, and doing business in the Netherlands to the YourEurope portal, as well as publishing it on its own website. You can recognise the articles that are published on the YourEurope website by the logo underneath the article. Read more about Business.gov.nl here.
