who are independent entrepreneurs and do they need a permit to set up a location where they can work?

I think you mean independent professionals. You can see who falls under this via this link http://www.mkbservicedesk.nl/915/vrije-beroepen-overzicht.htm. Independent professionals do not in principle need a permit to establish themselves. With the entry into force of the Services Directive, existing permit systems have been abolished as much as possible.
