Your company's registration

Whether it is a trade office, chamber of commerce, chamber of Crafts, commercially Register or Tax Office, you must register it in the legal form.

You should choose a reliable bank for your business account.


Step 4: Do not forget your health insurance obligation!

When starting up a company, it is also about avoiding risks for self-employment. Insurance is obtainable for many issues that you cannot influence so that the financial effect does not mean that the start-up ends early.

Some insurance policies are compulsory, such as health insurance. Here you can choose between statutory and health insurance. As a first step, we recommend comparing the tariffs of the private health insurance then compare the preferred tariff with the statutory health insurance. It is best to have a free and non-binding health insurance comparison.

As far as operational threats and risks are concerned, you should first find out which insurance policies are useful for your industry and then analyse the insurance system as your needs.

When you start a business, you can choose between statutory insurance and private health insurance. Use the opportunity to think about a change. Private health insurance is often cheaper for young self-employed people.


Step 5: Register property rights

When you start a company, you should also first check which property rights you can declare for products, inventions or your logo. The domain or company name also needs to be secured when the company is starting up. As a business founder, read more about important industrial property rights when you found the company.

It is also important to keep in mind that to set up the bookkeeping with correct form, the start-up, and to plan tax advance payments. As a rule, it is advisable to work with an experienced tax advisor who can relieve you from these two issues of accounting and taxes.
