Sparring with Stichting Ondernemersklankbord
Entrepreneurs often choose entrepreneurship because of their passion and the autonomy and freedom that independent entrepreneurship entails. That sounds wonderful, of course. However, we also see the downside of this independent existence. Because when you have to make choices and decisions, you as an entrepreneur are often alone. That is not always easy. That is why the Ondernemersklankbord (OKB) Foundation offers advice and guidance to entrepreneurs. Many entrepreneurs are pleasantly surprised with our services. For a one-time donation of only € 150, entrepreneurs can have unlimited sounding boards with one of our advisors for six months.
A sounding board for entrepreneurs
OKB has been in existence for 37 years and is an independent non-profit organization. Our beautiful organization consists of 300 former entrepreneurs and specialists from the business community. As a volunteer, they are happy to use their knowledge, skills and experience to support entrepreneurs from small and medium-sized enterprises. The organization is nationally spread over 20 regional teams, which together help 3000 entrepreneurs with all their entrepreneurial questions. These can be questions about starting or ending a business, but also questions about growth, sales, marketing and profit improvement. We also help many entrepreneurs who are close to bankruptcy. We are also very successful in this, because the OKB adviser is able to prevent bankruptcy at a large number of these companies.
The OKB advisor
The consultant listens and asks questions, helps to think about the situation, has know-how and can empathize with the entrepreneur. The consultant does not sit on the entrepreneur's chair, but guides the entrepreneur. This creates valuable knowledge transfer and teaches you as an entrepreneur how you can prevent problems and be successful in the future.
The consultants have earned their spurs as entrepreneurs and use their knowledge and experience as a sounding board and sparring partner. Entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs!
