Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to Frankfurt, Kulmbach, St. Gallen or another office?
No. Most sessions take place online by video, wherever you are. Meetings in person can be arranged at our offices in Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich, Düsseldorf, Zurich, St. Gallen and Vienna. Our back office and administration are in Kulmbach.
Are there regional funding programmes?
Yes. Besides federal programmes such as the start-up grant (Gründungszuschuss) and KfW loans, every German state has its own development bank and guarantee bank. We check with you which programmes may apply; we never promise funding.
Your next step in Germany starts with a conversation.
Business idea, registration or a decision you are stuck on: we talk it through and tell you honestly how we can help.
