Three core areas. One clear path.
Monlavero's curriculum is organised around the three areas that matter most when starting independently in the Netherlands. Each area contains focused modules with practical outputs.
Area 1
Business Planning
Understanding how to plan your business is not about producing a document for a bank. It is about thinking clearly about what you are building, who it serves and how it will be financially viable. This area covers the process of structured business thinking.
Area 2
Marketing Basics
Marketing for a starting entrepreneur is not about campaigns and budgets. It is about understanding who you are trying to reach, what they need to hear, and how to communicate that clearly. This area builds a practical marketing foundation without requiring prior marketing experience.
Area 3
Administrative Skills
The administrative side of running a business in the Netherlands is specific and important. Missing obligations creates problems that are difficult to fix later. This area covers everything a starting entrepreneur or zzp'er needs to understand about Dutch business administration.
How the modules are built
Modular and Flexible
Each module stands alone. You do not need to complete an entire area before starting another. Choose the modules most relevant to your current situation and work through them at your own pace. There is no fixed timeline or mandatory sequence.
Output-Focused
Every module produces a tangible output. A completed business plan section. A target audience profile. An invoice template. A rate calculation. These outputs are the building blocks of your actual business, not just exercises.
Available in Dutch and English. Designed for the Dutch context. Accessible from anywhere in the Netherlands.
All modules are grounded in Dutch law, Dutch administrative requirements and the Dutch market. Whether you work through them in Dutch or English, the content is specific to your situation as an entrepreneur in the Netherlands.
