Self-employment: courses, schools, seminars, information

In the area of self-employment, presentations lasting several hours are offered, as well as one-day workshops, seminars lasting several days or individual coaching sessions.

In most cases, a concrete project for the prospective self-employment is not mandatory in order to participate in a company start-up seminar. However, it is very beneficial if participants already have a rough idea of how they envisage their future self-employment, in which area and which sector it is to be implemented. On the other hand, a concrete business plan is not necessary for a first seminar, as this will be worked on individually depending on the event chosen.

The aim of a seminar for prospective self-employed people is to provide them with a basis for making a well-founded decision for or against self-employment. Participants learn how to minimize the risk of setting up a company and avoid business failures as far as possible. They are supported in setting up their own company and gain a basis and extensive skills to successfully tackle the start-up phase of this venture.

The content of a seminar on self-employment can vary slightly depending on the training provider and target group. As a rule, however, practical basics are taught to help you set up and successfully run your own business. An example of the typical content of a seminar on "Becoming successfully self-employed" includes the following topics:

• Requirements for successful self-employment
• Financing options for your own company
• Company organization and structure
• Basics of marketing for SMEs
• Market analysis and target group definition
• Insurance: compulsory and sensible supplementary insurance
• Company forms and legal framework conditions
• Development of an initial rough concept for the business idea
• Presentation training for pitches and customer meetings
• Transition from unemployment to self-employment (incl. daily allowances)
• Individual advice and support during the seminar
