SME

Did you know that our economy relies on the strength of more than one million SMEs and micro-enterprises? You are - or will soon be - one of them. Congratulations.

Yet there is nothing automatic about it. As a company manager, you know only too well that your company does not exist and grow by itself. Day in and day out, you face new challenges and changes. You may want to tap into new markets, cross borders, raise fresh capital, diversify your offer, digitise deeper, optimise your financial or tax management, etc. Whatever you are aiming for, every idea, every step, every change will benefit from specific knowledge, operational experience and know-how.

You know and see clearly where you want to go with your company. The question is whether everyone in the house can - or wants to - follow your ambitions? A forward-looking business manager surrounds himself or herself with the best people in the most diverse fields and needs a neutral sparring partner, a confidential advisor who speaks out plainly. Who provides affordable, achievable and effective solutions. Who together with you dares to look ahead. In short, one who understands your business and decisions throughout your company’s entire life cycle.

BDO never suggests just any expert(s) to you. The better the match with your requirement or challenge, the better the expert can help you. And the better you can focus on your core tasks.

What’s more, your expert does not operate alone. He or she can consult with colleagues who specialise in a wide range of fields, such as labour law, finance, information technology, taxation, digitisation, automation, cybersecurity, sustainable entrepreneurship, etc. Proactive, pragmatic and - importantly! - in line with the most recent obligations or rules. Use their knowledge and solutions for the following purposes among others:

• assist you in setting up your company (process guidance, choice of company form, financing issues, attracting employees, etc.); 
• comply with your accounting, company law, social, VAT and tax obligations; 
• set up real-time accounting; 
• ensure your compliance with new (national and international) regulations; 
• refine your financial management (financial reporting, budgeting, cost calculation, digitising processes); 
• manage and optimise your taxation; 
• support you in the growth of your SME (valuation, internationalisation, takeover, etc.);
• assist you with the valuation, follow-up or sale of your SME; 
• etc.
