Clarity and planning for self-employment
The path to self-employment presents a number of challenges, especially during the start-up phase. A successful business start-up requires solid planning, qualifications, personal dedication and a viable concept.
Your business plan: the basis for consultation
So as to provide you with optimal support, we need information on your business concept and current planning status. Put together a business plan that includes the following elements:
- Profitability planning for the next three years
- Liquidity planning for the first 12 months
- Planning for investment and capital requirements
Make use of our templates for your plan. Your business plan provides us with an initial impression of your idea and shows where advice is needed. We will help you during our consultation if there are any gaps or ambiguities. We will accompany you step by step along your journey.

Start-up Forums by the Startercenter Rhein-Berg/Leverkusen
The Startercenter Rhein-Berg/Leverkusen invites aspiring founders to its digital Start-up Forum.
- What requirements will I face when becoming self-employed?
- What steps do I need to take?
- What tax obligations do I have as a business?
These questions are at the core of the Start-up Forum, which is jointly offered by the STARTERCENTER NRW Rhein-Berg/Leverkusen — consisting of the IHK Leverkusen/Rhein-Berg, the Cologne Chamber of Crafts, the Economic Development Agency of the Rheinisch-Bergischer District (RBW), and the Economic Development Agency Leverkusen (WFL).
The aim is to provide an initial overview of the steps required to start a business. During the event, participants learn how to systematically build a business concept while taking into account all aspects of a new venture.
