General support

In the Brussels-Capital Region, Local Economy Offices (Guichets d’Économie Locale) can support you in launching your business. Depending on your sector and status, other regional organizations can also help, such as Iles, Crédal, Job Yourself, Refresh, FLTM, or Microstart.
Some municipalities also have local initiatives that can assist you in opening or growing your business (such as Innov’ett in Etterbeek, Entreprendre XXL in Ixelles, or Entreprendre Bruxelles in Brussels City). Feel free to check with the municipality where you plan your business.
