As part of its advisory services for aspiring entrepreneurs, the Schwerin Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) offers appointments at the DeveLUP Future Center in Ludwigslust
Our goal is to strengthen and expand cooperation in the region and to provide entrepreneurs with another opportunity to take advantage of our services. DeveLUP, as a modern resource center, offers excellent infrastructure for this purpose and thereby supports the startup scene in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district.
The topics covered in our individual initial consultations can vary widely. Our experts provide advice on the first steps before starting a business, the business plan tool from Unternehmenswerkstatt Deutschland, and funding opportunities before and after founding a business. The consultations are free of charge, and we allocate approximately 60 minutes per session.

Special Considerations for Freelancers and Tradespeople
Freelance entrepreneurs and tradespeople are generally not members of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK), so we are unable to provide these consulting services—or can only do so to a very limited extent—for these professional groups. For freelancers, we have established a partnership with Wirtschaftssenioren e.V. You can find more information here. Tradespeople should contact the Schwerin Chamber of Crafts.
