What CLB Group does

CLB Group is a Belgian multidisciplinary business services firm headquartered in Alken, founded in 1989 by two founders. The company delivers an integrated, one-stop-shop of personnel, compliance, and risk-management services to more than 14,000 small and medium enterprises and their 150,000 employees across the Limburg, Antwerp, and Flemish Brabant provinces. Its service portfolio is organized around six core lines: payroll and social secretariat (Personeel en Lonen), occupational medical examinations, external prevention and workplace safety (CLB Preventie/EDPB), environmental and energy consulting (Milieu en Energie), insurance brokerage (CLB Verzekeringen), and a training academy (CLB Academy) offering more than 200 courses.

The group operates through eleven distinct legal entities, including Loonbeheer NV (payroll), CLB Verzekeringen BVBA (insurance), CLB Consult BVBA, CLB EDPB VZW (prevention), CLB Academy BV (training), and others, each focused on a specialized service line. Service delivery combines dedicated account managers with the myCLB online portal, which provides clients digital access to payroll administration, personnel files, and HR documentation while still supporting paper-based workflows for clients with lower digital maturity. Operations are consolidated in a 5,750 square meter campus in Alken, officially opened on March 7, 2026, where approximately 230 employees are now based.

Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring subscription-style contracts for ongoing payroll, prevention, insurance, and HR support, supplemented by project-based fees for training, medical examinations, and environmental consulting, with insurance brokerage commissions providing a transactional revenue layer. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to client size, with multi-year contracts common. CLB Group is privately held with no external investment identified, is led by Gedelegeerd Bestuurder (managing director) Eddy Withofs, and has grown organically since founding, from two founders in 1989 to 230 employees today. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, leveraging direct outreach, accountant and bookkeeper referral networks, and brand presence across the Flemish region.
