I wish to request for an appointment to discuss the requirement of opening a self employed company. I would be grateful, if you can support.

Antwort

With regard to the actual formation procedure, the local Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) in the city of your choice is the first point of contact when intending to start your business in Germany. The IHK will be able to advise you on the required licenses, visa regulations, and so-called welcome packages that are available in the area. For finding the responsible IHK and arranging a meeting, please click on the respective city on the map: www.dihk.de

Kindly be advised that a detailed business plan and a concept of how to finance the start-up will be needed. For assistance on putting together a convincing business plan, please refer to the following link: www.existenzgruender.de

We hope you find this initial information helpful.
