What is the WBSO?

WBSO stands for the Research and Development (R&D) Promotion Act.

The WBSO encourages entrepreneurs to invest in innovative projects. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) states that entrepreneurs qualify for WBSO subsidies if their company conducts technical-scientific research or develops new technical (components of) physical products, physical production processes, or software.

When Can You Apply for a WBSO Subsidy?

You can apply for a WBSO subsidy via the RVO, but preparation is needed. Entrepreneurs must meet two conditions to be eligible for the WBSO scheme:

  • Entrepreneurs with employees conducting R&D activities
  • Freelancers conducting at least 500 hours of R&D work per year

Better Administration

What Do I Need?

As an entrepreneur, you are not eligible for WBSO subsidy if you do not have a clear R&D administration. You must be able to demonstrate to the RVO how much time is spent on the project and how the project is progressing. This is done through an R&D administration, which consists of: time accountability and project administration.

For your R&D administration, it is essential to have your time accountability and project administration in order. WBSO hours can be easily recorded with Keeping. This allows you to have a clear view of your time accountability and project administration. This makes it the ideal tool for your WBSO subsidy application.
