BusinessLoket070: A Partnership for Success

The initiative, BusinessLoket070, pairs students from Hogeschool Inholland with entrepreneurs seeking guidance. The program aims to provide practical support and assistance to those navigating the complexities of starting a business. According to MidVliet.nl, the partnership seeks to help entrepreneurs work through their business plans.

How the Entrepreneurial Spreekuur Works

The ondernemersspreekuur (entrepreneurial consultation hour) takes place every Monday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the Tuinkamer van Noord, located at Sporthal De Fluit in Leidschendam. Entrepreneurs can drop in without an appointment for advice, support, or a brainstorming session. The entrance is via the Burgemeester Kolfschotenlaan. Feelgoodradio.nl reports the first session was held on February 23, 2026.

Student Expertise and Practical Learning

Hogeschool Inholland students facilitate the ondernemersspreekuur as part of their internship program, under the guidance of experienced lecturers. This provides students with valuable practical experience, although entrepreneurs benefit from their fresh perspectives and up-to-date knowledge. Students assist with key areas such as developing a strong “selling point” or USP (Unique Selling Proposition) – identifying what makes a business stand out from the competition. oozo.nl highlights this focus on helping entrepreneurs define their unique value.

A Win-Win Situation

Wethouder Astrid van Eekelen (Economic Affairs) expressed her enthusiasm for the initiative, stating that it provides accessible support for entrepreneurs in the municipality.
