The pre-start-up course is suitable for people interested in setting up their own business who are about to take the step into self-employment or who already run a business as a sideline. As part of the course, the respective business idea is checked for its marketability and concretised. In addition, the personal suitability for the project is assessed. Founders who are already self-employed have the opportunity to gain practical knowledge on how to successfully manage and stabilise a business in the post-start-up course. This is intended to strengthen the company and increase its competitiveness. In addition, the self-employed receive financial support for their company totalling a maximum of 2,750 euros (110 euros per training day with eight teaching units).
Both courses take place once a week in Haldensleben. The pre-start-up course comprises a total of 60 teaching units and provides basic knowledge on the topics of business management, rights and obligations of an entrepreneur as well as information on the market, finances, business concept and commercial knowledge. At the end of the course, a business plan or company concept is drawn up together. In the post-start-up course, a total of 200 teaching units provide in-depth knowledge on the topics of business management, rights and obligations of an entrepreneur as well as information on the topics of accounting, procurement, personnel, law, insurance and business management.
Participation in both courses is free of charge thanks to funding from the state programme "ego.-Wissen". Anyone planning to become self-employed within the next twelve months is eligible to take part in the pre-start-up course. To take part in the post-start-up course, a full-time business must have been founded no more than five years ago.
Interested parties can find out more about the requirements for participation and register for the course from the Börde district. If there are enough people interested in taking part, the courses are expected to start in November 2025.
