Important points about starting a business

Establishing a craft business is not a sure-fire success, as Chamber of Crafts confirms. Extensive business and legal knowledge is required. In addition, founders must demonstrate the necessary operational competence and entrepreneurial qualifications. A good knack for cost accounting, financing, marketing and personnel management is just as important as technical skills.

The advice provided by the Chamber of Crafts addresses the specific needs of each company individually. You also have the option of making appointments by telephone or online. This means that every tradesman, regardless of whether they are just starting out or have been in the business for a long time, receives comprehensive support.

The numerous advice offers show that the Chamber of Crafts is not only a contact point for questions about starting a business, but also stands by companies in times of crisis. Such commitment makes it clear that a good network is essential for every craftsman - and this is exactly where the Chamber of Crafts can provide valuable support.
