- Edited 20 March 2024

If you operate a healthcare facility, both non-profit organisations (associations and foundations) and for-profit organisations (BVs , cooperatives and professional partnerships) have to be registered in the Business Register. Stichtingen (foundations) and verenigingen (associations) do need not always register their branches. It is always best to check to be sure.
Fill in the form
The law sets out a general definition of what constitutes a branch, which has been outlined in greater detail for the healthcare sector. Examples of branches in the healthcare sector include treatment centres, warehouses or external cafeterias. The 'Detailed definition of branches for the Business Register' (pdf, in Dutch) sets out exactly what is considered a branch for commercial facilities and non-commercial facilities.
