Specific Challenges for Delft ZZP'ers
In Delft, with its thriving ecosystem around TU Delft and innovation hubs such as YES!Delft, good and bad chances of business growth or bankruptcy are discounted for self-employed individuals. Article 6:97 BW encompasses lost profits, including hypothetical turnovers from local projects. Judges in the Rotterdam-Delft region estimate via annual accounts, market analyses, and sector reports from the Delft high-tech sector.
HR judgment of 15 February 2019 (ECLI:NL:HR:2019:219) requires balancing entrepreneurial risks, such as fluctuations in subsidy projects or startup financing. A 50% growth chance in the Delft innovation market significantly halves the claim.
Calculation Practice in Delft Context
Use of discounted cash flow models applies chances based on local data, such as TU Delft spin-offs. Tax advice calculates net losses with Delft rates. Victims prove with business plans and pitch decks; the counterparty with data from regional chambers of commerce or YES!Delft reports.
This prevents excessive claims and recognizes the uncertainties of entrepreneurs in Delft's dynamic tech and knowledge environment.
