As a relaxed small business owner who has navigated Germany's registration process firsthand, I know how confusing the paperwork can feel — especially if German isn't your first language. That's why I offer personalised 30-minute consultations to walk you through every step: from checking whether you qualify as a sole proprietor, to filling in your Gewerbeanmeldung form and submitting it to your nearest Gewerbeamt, to registering on ELSTER and obtaining your business tax number. My goal is simple — to make entrepreneurship more accessible, so more people can enjoy the freedom and financial independence that comes with running their own business.
