SME
Entrepreneurship is a challenge: you see opportunities, are driven, take risks and go for it. However, this is only possible when the figures are in order. Only then can you do business without worries. We take care of that: we manage your administration and provide interim insight into your figures so that you can make well-founded decisions.
We like to think in solutions and out of the box. And stubborn? We sure are. But always in your interest and that of your company. Because if you win, we win too.
“Anyone who wants to be successful as an entrepreneur must have so much confidence in his product or brand that it becomes reality.”
– Anita Roddick
We are your strategic sparring partner. We do not work reactively – looking back to the past – but proactively. We identify changes and inform you of them so that you – provided with the necessary knowledge – can make the right decisions.
Every phase of a company brings new challenges: from pioneer to an experienced entrepreneur and from self-employed persons to SME’s. We have developed our timetable in such a way that we can meet your needs at every stage and for every size. This way we can coach and advise you specifically on all financial and tax issues that you have to deal with. Whether you are a start-up or have been around for years, we always think along with you.
Hospitality industry
The hospitality industry is a complex sector with its own specific characteristics. Our office is located in a region characterized by an enormous range of catering establishments. We have in-house specialists who have a broad knowledge of the hospitality industry. Thanks to this focus, we are uniquely placed to act as a critical sparring partner for the hospitality entrepreneur.
As a pioneer in this industry, we have already implemented automated accounting at an early stage in our relations. Do you already have a complete link between your supplier (Hanos, Sligro, Bidfood) and your financial administration? We are happy to guide you.
We serve a large group of catering companies, which means that we are constantly provided with current and ready knowledge. Are you already fully aware of:
- application of VAT within the hospitality industry;
- registration of WowDeals, Social Deals, own gift vouchers;
- registration of packaging;
- calculation of turnover based on the flat-rate method;
- the margin within your company per product group;
- how you perform compared to your colleagues.
Regular accountancy services consist of the conduct of catering administration, the preparation of annual accounts, and the preparation and submission of tax returns. In addition to these regular services, we distinguish ourselves through our proactive advice. Our reliable and current figures form an important basis for this.
“I don’t sell beer, I sell warmth.”

This photo shows one of our relations. These entrepreneurs have put together a mix of the traditional catering forms of grand café and restaurant, combined with a liquor store and recreational activities. The ultimate example of innovative entrepreneurship.
Metal
As an entrepreneur in the metal industry, you know everything about milling and CNC lathes, complete with robots and other developments. The market is changing enormously and that is a challenge for you as an entrepreneur.
In this challenging market, it is good to have a sparring partner at your side, who advises you on all kinds of entrepreneurial issues. Because there are, also in your industry. A sparring partner is not an unnecessary luxury, especially when it comes to applying the correct collective labour agreement (cao) or pension scheme. You may need advice on hiring freelancers, about safety in the workplace (RIE), or the routing of your machines. Again, how can you deliver the best product most efficiently?
Innovation Box, WBSO, and RDA in the metal industry
The government stimulates innovation in the metal industry and agriculture by providing tax benefits or grants. Do you, as an entrepreneur, want to lead the way and invest in an innovative production process or technological new products? Then you can make use of the following schemes:
- The Innovation Box
- Research & Development Subsidy Scheme (WBSO)
- Research & Development deduction (RDA)
Our subsidy specialists advise and guide you through the application.
“In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.”
– Albert Einstein
The photo shows one of our relations in the field with a fully self-developed machine for harvesting soft fruit. A very innovative development that we can only encourage.
Retail
Most changes entail costs, such as renovation costs, marketing costs, or extra personnel costs. These costs must of course be recovered in order to keep your retail business profitable. As entrepreneurial advisors, we help you to realize your business plans.
The entrepreneur in the photo has fully integrated the production process as well as the financial administration in an ERP solution in collaboration with us. By optimizing these processes, the entrepreneur has arranged his time more efficiently and he has more time for what he likes to do: entrepreneurship. These steps have resulted in the development of a completely new, innovative, and revolutionary product: a ceramic product that is climate-proof for the future. The product is a smart and practical solution for water processing in the garden, on the street, and in public spaces.
As a consultancy firm, we take care of your concerns, so that you create more time for things that are important to you.
The relevant entrepreneur
Services
We also like to be advised on matters of which we have insufficient knowledge. For example, Mindworkz, located in HUB73 and also a relation of our office, helped us with the development of our website.
The new website looks fresher and has a clear structure with a clear focus on the services. In addition, the website has been expanded with a “Careers page” for all internal vacancies and a news module with an RSS link where external news is loaded onto the website.
The personal approach of Lenssen Advies is expressed even better in the new website. The right contact persons are more clearly reflected on the pages so that the visitor easily comes into contact with the right employees.
Clear buttons have been added for “Remote assistance”, “the customer portal” and “easy to use apps”. All this to give our customers as much (online) support as possible. The right attention for a good result.

Website optimization
After completion of the website, contact between Lenssen Advies and Mindworkz was maintained. For example, the website was continuously optimized and even expanded into the languages English, German and Spanish. Since then, we have also been able to appeal to foreign customers.
Lenssen Advies can also be unburdened and focuses on the core tasks of a consultancy firm.
New profiling Lenssen Advies
In addition to the optimization of the website, we have also focused on tightening up our own profiling. This update has been achieved in collaboration with one of our relations. Jannis and Theuntje from Sociaal Kapitaal, located in HUB73, have clearly set out the philosophy of our office through our own Golden Circle.
We do what we like and we want you to be able to organize your time with the things you like and find important. We use our time, expertise and creativity so that you can excel within your industry. We are never at the forefront, but next to you – the entrepreneur – and we make your peripheral matters our main business.
We are Lenssen and we believe that time is your most valuable asset. How do you organize your time?
