Gain full insight into your subcontractors thanks to our Safe Subcontractor Scan

In times of labour market shortages and economic uncertainties, you can find specialised expertise and efficiency by working with foreign subcontractors. However, this collaboration does present a number of challenges. Increasingly strict and complex legislation makes compliance with legal obligations crucial, but also complicated. That is why Van Havermaet has developed a Safe Subcontractor Scan that helps you make informed and secure choices.

What does our scan offer?

Our report gives you a clear and detailed picture of the extent to which your subcontractor adheres to Belgian legislation and compliance requirements. Thanks to a monthly update, you will remain constantly informed of the current situation, allowing you to fully focus on your core activities. The report is drawn up in close consultation with your company, so that it perfectly matches your specific needs and expectations.

Why is it essential?

The regulations regarding foreign subcontractors are constantly changing and becoming increasingly complex. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to significant risks, such as heavy fines, legal liability and reputational damage. This makes a thorough check of subcontractors no longer a luxury, but a necessity. With our scan, you can avoid these risks and build a solid basis for cooperation.

Our experts, specialised in legal, tax, migration and payroll, use a multidisciplinary approach. This enables us to respond quickly and accurately to new developments and challenges.

When is een scan relevant?

Our Safe Subcontractor Scan is a valuable asset in various situations:

  • When drawing up contracts with foreign subcontractors.
  • When you seek certainty on the fulfilment of Belgian compliance requirements.
  • When conducting risk analyses of existing collaborations.
  • In preparation for inspections by Belgian authorities.
  • For companies that consider corporate social responsibility (CSR) to be of paramount importance.

The report can be applied to various forms of collaboration, such as subcontractors, temporary employment agencies, intra-group postings and self-employed persons, and this in all sectors.

What makes our Safe Subcontractor Scan unique?

The report gives you a complete overview of the risks associated with specific subcontractors at a glance. It includes:

  • A detailed analysis of the subcontractor, including its employees and sub-subcontractors, so that you know exactly who you are working with.
  • Insight into liabilities and risks with advice on which contractual agreements are necessary to minimise risks.
  • Support for your subcontractor in complying with legal obligations and formalities, so that you are assured of a long-term sustainable collaboration.
  • Evaluation of how your collaborations contribute to corporate social responsibility and sustainable business practices.
  • Monthly evaluations that ensure you are always aware of changes and can minimise potential risks.

Benefits for your company

Our Safe Subcontractor Scan is the result of a thorough due diligence process. By using it, you avoid liabilities and prevent surprises that could have major consequences later on. You gain full insight into and control over the performance and reliability of your subcontractors. You monitor the reliability of your subcontractors within your contractual chain.

The report offers strategic insights that seamlessly connect to the specific context of your company, thanks to our holistic approach. You remain flexible and optimally prepared for legislative changes and audits by government agencies. At the same time, your processes are optimised to meet legal obligations.
