Frequently asked questions - Oog voor Impuls

How can I apply for the ZZP Workshops subsidy?

Applications can be submitted via https://zzpworkshops.oogvoorimpuls.nl.

I work a lot with freelancers at my festival. Can I also apply?

You can apply if the self-employed individuals for whom you want to organise the workshop are active in the cultural and creative sector. See the rulebook.

As an organizing party, do I also need a specific SBI code?

No, that is not necessary. However, the self-employed individuals for whom you organize the workshop must be employed in the cultural and creative sector (in accordance with this SBI code list)

Can I also cover multiple topics in a workshop?

Yes, you determine the content of the workshop yourself. As long as it is about disability benefits, pension, and/or false self-employment and employment relationships. You can therefore combine multiple subjects in one workshop. However, we do not recommend this. It is better to organize multiple workshops with one subject each.

Can I organize multiple workshops using this subsidy?

Yes, but each workshop application is assessed separately and the maximum contribution per workshop is never higher than €2,500.

I don't know yet what the costs are. Can I also submit a cost statement afterward?

Yes, that is allowed. However, you must submit the application BEFORE the workshop takes place and you must then pay the costs yourself. Send your cost statement within 6 months after the workshop to info@oogvoorimpuls.nl

Can I also enter my own hours as expenses?

Yes, that is allowed. You can specify all the costs you make for the (organization of) the workshop. The hourly rate may not exceed €50,- ex. VAT. We can also ask you to confirm these costs, up to 12 months after the workshop.

Do the speakers and/or experts that I hire myself have to meet any requirements?

The advisor you choose yourself is recognizable as a professional and independent advisor. By recognizable, we mean a Chamber of Commerce (NL: KvK) registration and/or website and – in the case of financial advice – an AFM license and Wft diploma.

For some reason, I can't organize the workshop myself. Can you do that for me?

No, you have to organize and fill in the workshop yourself. We can advise you on the approach and put you in touch with experts.

What if my target group is a mix of self-employed people in the cultural and creative sector and self-employed people in sectors other than the cultural and creative sector?

‘ZZP Workshops’ is a subsidy by Oog voor Impuls and is intended for workshops that focus entirely on independent professionals within the cultural and creative sector. If your target group consists of both independent professionals from the cultural and creative sector and independent professionals from other sectors, you are unfortunately not eligible for this subsidy.

My question is not on this list. How do I get in touch with you?
