Investment & Fund Management

Constantijn Koen, an entrepreneur from the Netherlands, faced the challenge of starting his own funeral services business after a career in the energy sector. Motivated by personal experiences, including the loss of his mother, he sought to provide a compassionate and professional service during a difficult time for families. However, to launch his business, he needed to adapt his premises to meet the specific requirements of a funeral service, which included creating a welcoming environment for grieving families.

To address this need, Constantijn turned to Qredits for a loan backed by the European Investment Fund (EIF). This financial support enabled him to make the necessary modifications to his facilities and develop a comprehensive service offering. His business now includes a range of services from coffin selection to transportation, and even bereavement support, ensuring that families receive the care and attention they need during their time of loss.

As a result of the EIF financing, Constantijn has successfully established a professional service that is reflected in his detailed website and his strategy to become a leading provider in the Arnhem and Nijmegen regions. He emphasizes a personal approach, aiming to ensure that every client feels respected and cared for, which he believes is crucial in the funeral industry. His commitment to quality service and personal touch has positioned him to grow his business and make a significant impact in his community.
