Abstract: Abstract This chapter is concerned with new business creation in the Netherlands. New ­business creation starts with the actions of nascent entrepreneurs: individuals who are in the process of setting up a firm. Over the past years, several research ­initiatives in the Netherlands followed the progress of nascent entrepreneurs by means of telephone surveys. The purpose was to gain insight into start-up processes and outcomes. One major objective was to determine which nascent entrepreneurs succeed in setting up a firm, what barriers they encounter during the start-up ­process, what skills and experiences they possess and which major sources of advice they use.
