It is fairly easy to start a business. You only have to register your company at the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, you should first thoroughly analyze the market you want to enter. And if you are looking for investors, you should first draft a proper business plan.
A proper business plan is of paramount importance to a successful company. Moreover, you need a business plan to obtain a loan from a bank or investor. Even though you do not necessarily need a business plan to register your company at the Chamber of Commerce, you are well advised to make one. It will help you critically assess your product or service against the market you want to enter. To find out if your company could be successful or if you should research some aspects in more detail, such as whether to register any trademark rights or patents.
You can protect your idea in several ways. You can either secure your intellectual property (IP) by means of patents or licenses or you can choose to enter into a partnership. Both within the Netherlands and abroad. It is important to find the right balance between desperately trying to protect your idea and carelessly squandering your chances.
