Revenue model

1. Government-funded Client Support: MEE Samen's primary services are funded through municipal contracts (Wmo - Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning) and long-term care funding (Wlz - Wet langdurige zorg). Client support services are provided free of charge to individuals - no own contribution is charged. Revenue comes from contracts with municipalities and care offices rather than direct client payments.
2. Professional Training Services: MEE Academie offers accredited training programs to professionals and organizations. Training is priced per participant (€235-340 per person excluding VAT). Training includes introduction courses, experience training (beleeftraining), and specialized workshops on topics like LVB, NAH, ASS, and invisible disabilities.
