Starting your own sauna

Dear colleague,

First of all, we would like to warmly welcome you to our sauna and wellness sector.
You have taken the step or you are considering starting a business and the Sauna Association Belgium (SVB) can certainly help you on your way here.

A sauna or wellness, private or public, offers many challenges in terms of hygiene, technology, safety and so much more.
The pooled SVB experience enables you to face these challenges with greater ease.
SVB was founded in 2001 as a professional organization, but has become so much more.
SVB is also a quality mark, which carries with it the concepts of “hygiene”, “safety”, “innovation”, etc.
