Business Centrum
About Us
We are Business Centrum - your personal HR office in Ghent. Active since 2013, rooted in East Flanders.
Founded 2013 · Ghent
Your personal HR office in Ghent
In 2013, we saw how entrepreneurs in our region struggled with the complexity of personnel administration. The large players were good with numbers, but poor on communication. You called - and got a call centre.
We did it differently. Business Centrum was founded with one goal: to take over the complete personnel administration of SMEs - personally, proactively and flawlessly.
“You call us - not a call centre with 300 employees.”

Our philosophy
You are not a number with us
“Your personal case manager knows your business, your sector, your employees - and calls you when something is not right.”
One dedicated point of contact
You always have the same contact person. They know your file inside out, know your employees by name, and know which joint committee applies to you.
Proactive, not reactive
We call you when something changes - a new pay scale, a legislative amendment, an upcoming deadline. You do not need to chase us.
Reachable during opening hours
During our opening hours we are here for you. Urgent questions about a new hire or dismissal? We are here.
Meetings at our office
A discovery or follow-up meeting? Welcome at our Ghent office. That way we can review your file together without rush.
Wij kennen uw naam, niet uw klantnummer.
An honest comparison
Business Centrum vs. large secretariat
Why choose Business Centrum instead of going directly to Acerta, Securex or SD Worx? Here is the honest answer.
At a large secretariat
- You are client number 48,392 in a system
- Every phone call reaches a different employee
- You must report and follow up changes yourself
- Days of waiting for a simple answer
- No knowledge of your specific sector or JC
- Errors are only discovered during an audit
At Business Centrum
- Your name is known - not your client number
- One contact person who knows your full file
- We follow up everything - you need not remember anything
- Same-day response to urgent questions
- In-depth knowledge of your sector and joint committee
- Proactive checks prevent errors and fines
