One in ten entrepreneurs in Germany is a foreign national. Increasing numbers of foreign residents are choosing top international locations such as Düsseldorf to set up their own companies and put their business ideas into practice.
The Office of Economic Development of the State Capital Düsseldorf is offering a seminar in English on setting up a new business aimed specifically at foreign entrepreneurs and small business owners. The seminar will provide a forum to discuss the many questions and challenges encountered by foreign entrepreneurs on their way to a successful new business.
We introduce the Startup City Düsseldorf with its multitude of networks, organisations and consulting programmes. We will focus on the legal aspects of setting up a business, focussing on the aspects particularly relevant to foreigners such as residence rights and work permits. Then we look at the subject of taxation from business registration to types of taxes and social insurance. Finally, you will have the opportunity to ask any still outstanding questions.
