What Wegwijzer040 does

Wegwijzer040 is a Dutch care provider (B.V.) headquartered in Eindhoven, founded in 2016 by Mark van Acht and Dirk Kox. The organization serves people with invisible disabilities — specifically individuals with LVB (light intellectual disability), ASS (autism spectrum disorder), and NAH (non-congenital brain injury) — through a portfolio of personalized and group-based services. These include short- and long-term personal guidance, structured day activities under the "Kompas" program, and group programs such as Weerwoord-040 and Samen Sterker. The company also operates Stadsdrukkerij Eindhoven, a social enterprise that combines day-activity provision with revenue-generating print services, integrating purpose and lightweight commercial activity.

The business model is funded through the Dutch public care system: WMO (municipal social support, commissioned by municipalities), WLZ (long-term care insurance, administered via the CAK), and PGB (personal budgets held by clients themselves). This is a fee-for-service / contract-based model with public payers rather than private insurance or out-of-pocket consumer payments. The organization is a member of ZorgCooperatieBrabant (ZCB), a regional cooperative of care providers that facilitates joint referrals, shared back-office, and collective market presence in the Brabant region.

Operationally, Wegwijzer040 is a small team of 5–15 employees, positioning it as a localized, high-touch provider rather than a scaled platform. There is no mention of proprietary technology, digital platform, or AI tooling; the value proposition rests on personal relationships, specialized expertise in invisible disabilities, and integration with the Dutch public-care funding ecosystem. The Stadsdrukkerij social enterprise is the only structurally distinct revenue line beyond core care delivery.
