Founding your own business and being the boss is a big thing and let’s admit it- it can be scary. However, you don’t have to do it all on your own! There are many official organizations that offer help, counseling and support.
Government
Naturally, the government is interested in growing the economy and providing jobs. Consequently, it is interested in encouraging the foundation process of new businesses. Therefore, there are programs in place which provide information, e.g. about the registration process and legal guidelines. Moreover, financial incentives, such as tax reductions can be granted.
Companies
In addition, big companies might be interested in your ideas and willing to support it. Some start competitions or special start-up events during which ideas are developed and discussed with experts. So stay posted about what is happening around you!
Community
And let’s not forget that there is a great community with entrepreneurs who all know how hard it can be at the beginning and who are willing to offer personal advice. Therefore, it is great to meet up, for example at regulars’ table or start-up events.
In summary, there is an abundance of information out there which can help you get started and found a business. There is no need to be scared – you can do it!
