Frequently asked questions
What is an entrepreneurs soundboard?
An entrepreneurs soundboard at Stichting Ondernemersklankbord (OKB) is a personal coaching trajectory for entrepreneurs with an entrepreneurial question or who want a sparring session. Whether you are a starter, want to grow or just struggling with challenges such as financial problems or business closure – our experienced volunteer mentors are there for you. During the programme, you will receive six months of advice and support from an entrepreneur or specialist who understands your situation. Together, you will work on clear goals, make strategic decisions and get practical tips to move forward.
Our coaching is independent, professional and personal. The programme is designed to strengthen you as an entrepreneur, so that you can make choices with more insight and confidence. Are you looking for entrepreneurial coaching that really works? Find out what Entrepreneurs Soundboard (OKB) can do for you.
Are there any costs involved?
| The first introductory meeting is completely free and without obligation. If you subsequently decide to use a sounding board programme, you will pay a one-off contribution of €200. For that amount, you will receive six months of personal guidance from an experienced OKB mentor. There are no hidden costs. Stichting Ondernemersklankbord is a non-profit organisation: your contribution helps us to support even more entrepreneurs. |
Am I committed to anything?
No, you are not tied to anything. The first conversation with an OKB mentor is completely free and without obligation. Only after that will you decide whether you want to start a six-month sounding board process. That too is a one-off and costs only €200. You always decide whether, how and for how long you continue. Entrepreneurs Soundboard (OKB) has no commercial interest: we are there purely to help entrepreneurs like you independently and practically.
