KBC helps you run a smarter business in a wide range of areas
Starting your own business can sometimes be a little overwhelming and you’ll likely have many questions and concerns. But don’t worry, we’ve compiled some of the most frequently asked start-up questions and their answers here.
Ready to take the leap? A great place to start is to open a business account so you can keep your personal and business expenses separate. By the way, did you know that you can save up to 1 000 euros in start-up costs with our Boostpack? It’s definitely worth a look.
If you have an innovative business idea and could do with a little help, feel free to get in touch. Our Start it @KBC programme was founded for that very reason.
Online banking
Enjoy the convenience of KBC Mobile and KBC Touch and manage your banking and insurance anywhere and around the clock. You can use these apps to keep track of your personal and business accounts, payments, loans, documents and more at any time. But that’s not all: our digital assistant Kate is always on hand to help you with any questions you may have.
Did you know that KBC Mobile was crowned the best banking app in the world by research company Sia Partners? Discover all the options.
Making payments
As a business owner, we know your time is precious, and that’s why we’re committed to making sure you can pay quickly and securely, online and offline, anywhere in the world: a business credit card lets you pay your suppliers, book business trips, buy office supplies and more in no time.
Getting paid
You naturally also want to ensure a smooth payment process for your customers and receive payments quickly. Convenient payment solutions like Payconiq or a payment terminal let you do just that.
Growing
Whether you’re just getting started or already thinking about expanding, sometimes financing tailored to your business can come in handy. Our wide range of credit facilities are aimed at helping you move forward: whether you need a company car, real estate, working capital or business equipment.
Using your surplus funds
Proactive entrepreneurship also involves thinking about the future. Have you considered investing? Or perhaps you’d like to already start building up a pension. You can explore the different options in our range of wealth management solutions.
Invoicing
Invoice management can sometimes be a bit of a hassle, but it doesn’t have to be: online invoicing tool Billit, for example, offers a fast and convenient solution that lets you arrange your invoicing fully digitally. It also gives you access to the European PEPPOL network, which ensures compliance with European e-invoicing requirements.
You can also enjoy some attractive benefits if you link Billit to your KBC Mobile and KBC Touch:
- A single clear overview of incoming and outgoing invoices in your banking app
- Instant invoice payment without entering details
- Kate helps you keep track of your invoices so you never miss a due date
And that’s not all: you can now try Billit free of charge for a whole year! Find out more here.
Submitting expenses
Keeping restaurant receipts and parking tickets can get a little messy, and sorting through them certainly isn’t your accountant’s favourite pastime either. Don’t worry, we can help you make submitting expenses easier.
Managing debtors
About to enter into a new business relationship and want to clear up some final doubts? Graydon can help you assess your future business partner’s creditworthiness.
Should something nevertheless go wrong and a debtor fails to meet their payment obligations, you might try sending them a reminder by registered e-mail. If that doesn’t work, you can count on our additional Go Solid service to recover overdue invoices faster without going to court.
Finding staff
We’re pretty sure we don’t need to tell you that finding good staff can be quite a challenge. NOWJOBS makes your search a little easier.
Streamline your business travel
Smart entrepreneurs are always on the move. And since time is precious, you naturally want to manage your business travel as efficiently and effectively as possible.
With our additional ‘Business Mobility’ service, all your mobility expenses are conveniently combined on a single invoice, and you get a nice discount every time you fill up.
Running a business requires being bold and taking risks, which you don’t want to imagine doing without being properly insured. After all, who knows what might happen?
At KBC, we’re committed to your peace of mind. When it comes pension saving, submitting claims, determining liability and more besides, we’ve got you covered with our range of insurance products.
