Hi, we are Unikoo

True to our name, we really are one of a kind. Unikoo offers a unique centre of expertise to start-ups, scale-ups and innovation-driven SMEs. Each of these expertise centres are backed by flexible teams in finance & administration, recruitment & talent management, marketing & communication, technology & development and graphic design.

Our mission

The business concept of Unikoo originated from a specific need in the world of small and medium enterprises: entrepreneurs and business managers often spend up to 80% of their time on low priority tasks and only 20% on high-value work. Moreover, external support & advice is often not transparent, and small organizations have to rely on multiple partners.

By providing start-ups, scale-ups and innovative SMEs with a unique, full-service center of expertise, Unikoo enables them to focus on their core business, enabling growth in an effective and sustainable way. Having this expertise available at one single source has its advantages: no hassle with communication between different parties, improved flexibility, maximum efficiency and the opportunity to develop a (close) partnership that transcends the status of “supplier”. That's what makes us Unikoo.

Our vision

We know, we do, we care.

We are happy to take care of you. For our customers and for our people. At Unikoo you will find a family atmosphere with values such as collegiality, proximity and pragmatism. Our experts are bursting with knowledge and know-how to get things done. Always with the best intentions in mind because we truly care. Making people happy is what we like most. On the rare occasion that the goal has not yet been reached, we will adjust our approach and take this as a learning for the future. We are only satisfied when you are.

Our customers are crucial

A standardized approach to speed things up, or rather a tailor-made proposal? We do not impose a model but bring the right puzzle pieces to the table so that the customer can put his/her puzzle together. Our drive is in our job and our results. For example, assisting a start-up in its launch, helping an SME on its way in the world of online marketing, unburdening an entrepreneur administratively or supporting a scale-up with its talent policy. If possible, via an integrated approach, that's how we prefer to make a difference. No challenge is too big for us, but no project is too small either.

People are our priority

People first. They are our capital and guide the way our organization develops. We are therefore happy to offer them unique opportunities. Variety and impact are understatements in our business. Our people are unique, with distinct expertise and a committed mindset. We take care of each other.
