What Ondernemersbelang De Mortel does

Ondernemersbelang De Mortel is an independent non-profit entrepreneurs' association (vereniging) founded in 2011 and headquartered in De Mortel, a village in the municipality of Gemert-Bakel, North Brabant, Netherlands. Its stated purpose is to represent the interests of local entrepreneurs, facilitate networking among them, and contribute to improving the local business climate and overall livability in De Mortel. The association serves approximately 50 member businesses drawn from the local entrepreneur community, spanning hospitality, agriculture, retail, and business services.

The association operates on a membership-based model, charging an annual fee of €50 per member. Revenue funds four member meetings per year, company visits to member businesses, guest speaker presentations, and an Open Bedrijvendag (Open Company Day). It maintains institutional relationships with the Municipality of Gemert-Bakel (as a recognized advocacy partner) and the Kamer van Koophandel Noord-Brabant (Chamber of Commerce), and it occasionally engages external speakers such as Boost on topics relevant to local small businesses. The organization is governed by a volunteer board consisting of Ton Manders (Chair), Monique van de Rijdt (Secretary), Miranda Hol (Treasurer), and Mark van den Heuvel (Board Member).

The association does not offer technology products, software, or AI-driven services. Its primary assets are the membership roster, the recurring event calendar, and the institutional access to municipal governance. Distribution is entirely word-of-mouth and website-based, with no commercial sales motion. The organizational scope is intentionally local and bounded to De Mortel, with no documented expansion beyond the village.
