The overview itself.
Every business we have reported, in one place, with filters for province, town and category so you can pull out the part that matters to you. As a link, or as a document you can forward.
How it works.
Pick your package
Choose the trade you sell into. Every package covers the whole of the Netherlands, is billed by the month and carries no minimum term. Nothing needs installing and nothing connects to your systems, so there is no setup to get through before the first list lands.
Get it every week
One list a week, with the portal behind it for the full picture. Every business on it arrives with its name, address, phone number and website, so nobody has to look anything up before picking up the phone. Filter the portal by province, town or category.
Get there first
Call, mail or drive past while the choice is still open. A new business settles most of what it buys in its first few weeks, and by the time it reaches a trade directory somebody else has been delivering to it for months. Being early is most of the advantage, and it cannot be bought back later.
Who it works for.
Three kinds of business get the most out of it, though they are certainly not the only ones. If you sell into one of these trades rather than working in it, the list is very likely for you too: the businesses on it are the same whether you deliver food, fit out a salon or place staff.
Wholesale and distribution
Food and drink, colour lines, dental supply, flowers, packaging. Every package has a wholesale tier behind it, and a new business picks that supplier in its first weeks, usually from whoever got there first rather than whoever quoted best.
Equipment, fit-out and software
Furniture, kitchens, treatment chairs, tills, booking and practice software. Bought once, before the doors open, and switching later costs money and disruption. The opening weeks are the only moment that choice is open.
Staffing and lead agencies
A business that has just opened is hiring, and often still looking. Agencies that place staff, and agencies that sell leads on to their own clients, work from the same list: names and numbers of businesses nobody else has called yet.
What you do with it.
A new business settles its suppliers, its equipment and its staffing in the first few weeks, and almost none of that goes out to tender. Being early is not a small advantage here: whoever gets through the door first is usually still delivering years later, long after the choice stopped being open. The list arrives as names, addresses and contact details, so it can go straight to whoever picks up the phone.
