Our services for company founders
Are you planning to establish your own company?
Don’t hesitate to take advantage of the free services and events of the Enterprise Agencies. If you wish, you can also receive personal sparring from the business advisors in your area.
Our services are open to everyone planning to become an entrepreneur – students, recent graduates, unemployed, employed and those considering buying a company.
The advisory services are provided through the regional Enterprise Agency operating in your municipality of residence or in the area where your company is established.
Being a customer does not oblige you to set up a company. We can look into the options together – but you will decide for yourself.
