Successful businesses set their course already in the start-up phase. A sound preparation is the key to success. This is the point where numerous important questions arise that have to be addressed. An in-depth market analysis and the elaboration of a business plan are indispensible for the formation of an enterprise.

A professional business plan is necessary not only for the future of a successful business, but it is also the foundation for discussions with the banks, favourable credit conditions and lucrative funding.

It is important to remember that, with the help of the New Business Support Foundation Act (Neugründungsförderungsgesetzt, NEUFÖG), start-up entrepreneurs may claim special benefits (incidental wage costs, stamp duties or federal administrative fees etc.). A timely requested confirmation from the chamber of commerce regarding the start-up establishes the formal basis for such benefits. For significant investments, start-up entrepreneurs may receive considerable financial contributions – however, all applications for funding must be submitted before the beginning of the investment. Delayed submissions result in the loss of the funding.

• The elaboration of your business idea and the personal requirements are, without doubt, the central point of a start-up. However, what you need at the very beginning of the planning stage is professional advice in all matters not covered by your field of expertise, such as taxes, charges and fees, accounting, etc.
• Take the time to thoroughly inform yourself about chances, but also about the risks you might face on the road to professional independence. You should have a clear understanding of your personal goals and aspirations.
