1) Information session for founders
The information session for founders is an initial orientation talk on the topic of starting up a business in the hotel and catering sector. The session lasts around four hours (incl. preparation and follow-up work) and you will receive fundamental information about the key stages along the route to running your own business. You will learn, for example, what legal requirements you need to take into account, what is involved in concluding lease or sales agreements and the important principles that need to be considered when hiring associates. The conclusions of the session are summarised for you in a brief set of minutes.
The information sessions for founders is a free service provided by the DEHOGA Baden-Württemberg. You can arrange an appointment directly with the DEHOGA consulting team by sending an e-mail to info(at) dehoga-beratung.de, calling +49 (0)7 11 - 6 19 88 37 or by using our contact form.

Sponsored by the Ministry of Industry through resources from the European Social Fund and state funds, as well as through grants from DEHOGA Baden-Württemberg, the foundation pack is free of charge.

With the free information day for founders, we will visit you in your area and offer you foundation know-how and valuable practical knowledge, pure and simple. In a workshop, two experienced and professional DEHOGA experts will show you ways to make a successful start to your career as an independent entrepreneur. On the information day you can find out, for example, how to devise a modern concept, what you need to look out for when concluding contracts, what to bear in mind when drawing up a business plan and what funding opportunities you can harness for your project. The conclusions reached jointly at the event are then summarised as guidelines on what to do next.

You will also receive information on important industry key figures and funding programmes in Baden-Württemberg. Further support can then immediately be provided for promising projects through detailed foundation consulting.
