The reality for many founders

Do these questions sound familiar?

Plenty of people want to start their own business in Bremen and then hit the same uncertainties. That costs time, money and nerves.

Business plan & financing

How do I build a business plan that convinces the bank and the authorities? And how do I plan realistically?

  • How do I put together a solid business plan?
  • How do I plan financing & cash flow?
Most common

Funding & paperwork

Grants, applications, trips to the authorities: hard to keep track of. And you're often entitled to more funding than you think.

  • What funding & grants are available?
  • How much funding am I entitled to in Bremen?

Strategy & customers

The idea's there, but which legal form fits, and how do you win those first customers?

  • Which legal form fits my plans?

That's exactly where FOUNDARA comes in: with structure, plain talk and a plan that holds up day to day.

Smart way to start

Your consulting can be up to 80% funded.

In the state of Bremen, consulting services for founders are subsidised, e.g. through the Bremer Existenzgründungsberatung (Bremen's start-up advisory programme) or general advisory funding (BAB / Starthaus Bremen). In your free initial consultation, I'll show you what's realistically possible for you.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Foundara to anyone planning to start a company. The professional approach genuinely impressed me: from clear guidance and preparing for the notary to registrations, appointments with the authorities, the business account, and taxes. I barely had to handle anything myself. It saved an enormous amount of time and gave me the confidence that everything was being done right.

Foundara pleasantly surprised me from the very start. Where other advisory services often only hand out theoretical tips, the support here was completely practical and solution-focused. Quick responses, clear to-dos, and never left on my own. That helped me avoid mistakes and unnecessary costs, and start my business with far more confidence.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions founders ask me most often, answered briefly and honestly.

No. I work with businesses from Bremen, Oldenburg, and across northern Germany, and anywhere in Germany if needed. Many clients are local, but they also value how flexibly I work online.
We start by analysing your idea and processes, then work out your goals and the right legal form together. From there, I guide you through the whole formation step by step, in plain language and grounded in practice.
Above all small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs): from skilled-trade businesses (Handwerk) and retailers to property developers and service providers. What matters isn't the industry, but the will to make things happen.
No off-the-shelf solutions: you get one dedicated person who looks after your project personally, from the first advice to the finished launch. Over the past 7 years, I've successfully guided more than 97 businesses.
The cost depends on the scope and your starting point. In a free, no-obligation initial consultation, we'll work out together what makes sense and what budget is realistic. In Bremen, the consulting is often eligible for public funding, too.
More than 97 businesses, including leisure and recreation, universities, associations, dental technology, property development, retail, skilled trades (Handwerk), as well as vending and software providers. Many from the Bremen/Oldenburg area, others across Germany.
It helps you start a business safely and successfully. It brings together expert knowledge, hands-on experience, and strategic planning, and closes exactly the gaps that first-time founders often can't fill on their own.
