Entrepreneurs should seek comprehensive advice before starting a new business. After all, they will meet a wide range of challenges when they set up their own business. The form of a start-up varies depending on the type of independence and business idea. Before establishing a business, you have to consider a wide range of factors to ensure that nothing stands in the way of success for your venture. A talk with an experienced adviser can help limit business risks and avoid typical errors made by persons setting up their first business.

Start-up advice helps entrepreneurs choose the optimal business and tax legal form and offers a number of practical tips that can be immediately put into effect to ensure that their business gets off to a successful start. Our advisers offer assistance in corporate and tax law. In addition, start-up experts can also provide very useful advice on drawing up business and financial plans. We can also give you a feasibility certificate, which is needed in some cases (start-up grant). Hans Wiedemann, one of our partners, is a proven expert in this field. He also heads the start-up seminars of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce.
