Personal Advice & Support
Starting a business encompasses many considerations that may not initially come to mind, such as health insurance, bank accounts, salaries, "broadcasting fees" (GEZ Gebühren, translating to public broadcasting fees in Germany), pension funds, and specific notifications to the German Pension Insurance (Deutsche Rentenversicherung) and health insurance companies. This process is inherently bureaucratic and time-consuming. We help you in expediting this process, providing assistance for any questions you might have.
