When a loved one or business partner dies, there is a lot to deal with. As well as the grief, you are suddenly faced with a great deal of administrative work for the business they leave behind. This includes making changes to or deregistering the business from the Business Register. Where do you start? What needs to be done straight away, and what can wait a little longer? Members of the KVK Bereavement Support Team (‘Nabestaandendesk’) are ready to help and support you.
Practical support and personalised advice
Our Bereavement Support Team are emotionally skilled and experienced in supporting bereaved relatives and business partners. They will listen to you and offer clear tips and advice on everything you must arrange. This support helps the business keep running, be transferred, or be closed.
From getting a certificate of inheritance to checking current contracts and administrative duties, you will deal with the same team member as much as possible. That way, you only have to explain the situation once.
Guidance for the bereaved
Do you want to know quickly what the key tasks are that you must handle with government agencies? Use the guidance for bereaved to get an overview of what you need to do now and what can wait a little longer.
