Self-employment seminars: learn how to implement your ideas optimally
Questions and answers
Is it necessary to already have a well-developed business idea in order to take part in seminars on self-employment?
For some seminars on the topic of self-employment, it is absolutely necessary to already have a concrete business idea and to want to work on it. However, many other seminars also offer suitable events for people who first want to find out about the possible paths to self-employment in Switzerland and do not yet have a tangible idea of the area or business model in which they want to become self-employed.
How long do self-employment seminars last?
Events for prospective start-ups can last a few hours or extend over several days as self-employment seminars. The self-employment seminars on offer are varied, so it is worth finding out exactly what is on offer. The seminar providers, which you can contact via the contact form, will be happy to provide you with detailed information about their seminars and training courses.
Do self-employment seminars also help you to develop a business concept?
There are some very useful seminars on self-employment that not only deal with the initial considerations, but also with the concrete development of a business concept for setting up a company and illustrate the start-up process. During such seminars, you will gain all the important knowledge about the step-by-step procedure for setting up a business and will then be in a position to put your project into practice in a well-considered and planned manner.
Are seminars on self-employment also worthwhile for people who already have concrete ideas about their business idea?
Having a business idea with which you want to become self-employed is the first of many steps on the way to your own company.

This is why self-employment seminars are not only aimed at the initial preparation for self-employment, but also at the concrete development of the business idea and the business model.
