Regarding step by step information on setting up a business, please check out the website "Make it in Germany" for useful advices on business plan, financing and funding, etc.: http://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/for-qualified-professionals/working/setting-up-a-business-in-Germany

Furthermore, in Germany, there are many public information centers which will advise you personally how to set up your own business. On the Startup Portal, under “advice and information”, you will find the contact information of regional and national information centers for entrepreneurs with a migrant background. A general contact list is available on the Startup Portal.

Please note: If you are a citizen of the European Union you are free to set up a business in Germany.
If you are not a citizen of the European Union and you do not hold a permanent resident permit you should get in touch with your competent foreigners authority (Ausländerbehörde) regarding your residential status. For personal advice, you can also contact the hotline “Working and Living in Germany” under the telephone number +49 30 1815 – 1111.
