In Belgium many IT specialists work as freelancers, in their own name or through their own company. These sole traders and small companies make up a large part of division 62. For a partner programme or hardware sales you usually want firms with a team: make the website a required field and review the list.

IT is not a regulated profession in Belgium. There is no professional list; official identification runs through the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises.
These 14 columns are included.
An IT freelancer working in their own name is a natural person. An email without consent may not go to their address, even if it is called info@. Only for legal entities with an impersonal address, such as info@ or sales@, and with an offer intended for legal entities, is consent not required (Royal Decree of 4 April 2003). The e_mail_type column helps you select.
IT firms almost always have a website, so the website does not distinguish much here. A selection by class works better: 62.01 and 63.11 for software houses and hosting, 62.02 for consultancy, 62.03 for managed services.
Brussels and the Antwerp–Ghent–Leuven axis have many IT firms. For a first campaign choose the provinces rather than the whole country, and prepare a French version for Brussels and Wallonia.
