• Source: https://www.vlaio.be/nl/begeleiding-advies/start/ondernemen-als-student-zelfstandige
• Organisation: VLAIO
• Type: hub/overview page with links + events + FAQ
• Who it’s for: students who (want to) start as student self-employed (including international students)

What is this page?

This is a VLAIO hub page that guides you to the right information step by step if you want to run a business during your studies. It bundles:

• checklists and explanations about the student self-employed status
• practical topics (financing, admin, VAT/bookkeeping, insurance)
• what to do after starting and after graduating
• links to support, inspiration, figures, events and FAQs

What can you find there? (main sections)

1) Are you ready?

2) Where to find support?

3) What is the status and how to start?

4) Financing your start

5) You’ve started—what now?

6) What after graduation?

7) International students

8) Inspiration, figures and FAQs

Note — not 18 yet? This VLAIO page assumes students who are of age. If you are still a minor, you cannot start as self-employed yet: being 18 and legally competent is a hard requirement, even with your parents' consent. See Can I start a business before I turn 18? in the Gentrepreneur FAQ for what is possible instead.
