The federal and state governments run various start-up funding programmes on particularly favourable terms to help you start your own business. Depending on the programme, it may be possible to apply for funding up to eight years after the business was founded. Grants are the most attractive form of finance, because they are a kind of public funding that you generally do not have to repay.
Worth knowing:
- Always submit applications prior to commencing your project (as regulated by the Vorbeginnklausel, a clause which states that an investment can only be funded if no significant contracts have been signed beforehand)
- Apply directly to the relevant funding agencies for finance
- The loan application should always be submitted via your house bank
