Do you want to become self-employed with an innovative new business? And are you going down this route after a successful career, during or after a university degree or scientific activity at a university or a non-university research institute? We support and guide you!

Benefit from our tailored services for the preparation and implementation of your business activity – from the idea stage to your business plan, financing, consolidation, the implementation of your growth strategy and internationalisation, or in the preparation of a successor to take over the company.

Your personal contact person of Economic Development Agency Brandenburg (WFBB) will be pleased to assist you individually, free of charge and in absolute confidentiality.

We create your personal start-up schedule with you!

We conduct a start-up check to examine your specific consulting and coaching needs with you. We structure the objectives and the strategy of your entrepreneurial activity with you and point to suitable support and funding opportunities.

We offer you start-up consultancy services and business coaching at the highest level!

The heart of the start-up service in Economic Development Agency Brandenburg (WFBB) is the IbM project, Innovation Needs Courage (Innovationen brauchen Mut) . You receive support from selected external experts in start-up consultancy services and business coaching, matching your needs.

In addition, we provide the WFBB’s sector- and cluster-specific skills and will assist you with establishing collaborations in branch networks as well as with colleges and universities, while helping you find a suitable location.

We work with you to make your project affordable!

Your business plan, your entrepreneurial skills, a viable concept for the funding of start-ups and growth combined with a clear market strategy will form the basis of successful discussions with funding institutions, commercial banks, savings banks, investors and cooperation partners.

We advise and support you in the implementation of your funding concept through the use of loan, subsidy, guarantee and share ownership schemes of the state and the federal government. We also partner with you in the search for private and institutional investors in direct collaboration with the Business Promotion Bank in the Federal State of Brandenburg (ILB).

We advise when implementing your start-up idea!

We can help you find a suitable site for your company as and when required, provide information on funding opportunities for innovation and the skilled employee recruitment, and advise you on tapping into new markets.
