Dutch term or phrase:beroep of bedrijf
De leden 1 tot en met 5 zijn van overeenkomstige toepassing op een overeenkomst die de voorwaarden regelt van een of meer arbeidsovereenkomsten die partijen zullen sluiten indien na oproep arbeid wordt verricht, en op het aangaan van een andere overeenkomst dan een arbeidsovereenkomst, al dan niet gevolgd door andere soortgelijke overeenkomsten, waarbij de ene partij, natuurlijk persoon, zich verbindt voor de andere partij tegen beloning arbeid te verrichten, tenzij deze overeenkomst wordt aangegaan in beroep of bedrijf.

The following entries from "Dutch Legal Terminolgy in English" [Foster/Academic Press Leiden] may shed some light on the terms 'beroep' and 'bedrijf' and their translation into English:
"Company law [ondernemingsrecht] deals with the rules involved in conducting a business [bedrijf], as well as activities in clubs and teams."
"A company [onderneming] is an in dpendent business [bedrijf] or complex of businesses whose aim it is to make a profit [winst]".
"A business is a profession [beroep] within industry, trade or commerce".
Note that, in the last entry, 'beroep' is strongly related to -- or actually indirectly rendered as -- a business. Hope this helps...

erratum: A company [onderneming] is an in independent business [bedrijf]
Have a look at http://www.wetboek-online.nl/wet/BW7/655.html
This is the exact wording of section 655, sub-section 6, Book 7, Title 10, Part 6 of the Netherlands Civil Code, FWiW. Sorry I can't provide an adequate translation.
do you have the impression this is a shortened version of one of the many other references to beroep of bedrijf in this text?
