Step-by-step:
How to start your own business

Develop a business idea

Your business idea is the foundation. What do you offer? Who needs it? Why should they choose you? Keep it simple and concrete.

You don't need to have all the answers – start where you are.

01

Register your company

Most people start with a sole proprietorship, but you can also choose a limited liability company.

02

Set up website and email
Your digital presence doesn't have to be perfect from day one, but you should have:

  • A simple website

  • A professional email address

03

Create an initial offer

What can you deliver today? Create a clear package or service that the customer understands. It doesn't have to be complete, just valuable.

04

Market yourself

Start simple: social media, friends and contacts.

Use free tools and ask for help from your network.

SEO is your friend in the long run.

05

Win your first customer
Speak openly about what you do. Show up as yourself – warm, approachable, and ready to listen.
Your first customer is the start of it all.

06

Common pitfalls – and how to avoid them?

- Waiting for everything to be perfect

- Hesitating to charge for your work

- Constantly comparing yourself to others

- Losing sight of your target audience

Remember: Everyone starts somewhere.
