Legal Structures, Social Security, Taxes
On December 9, we’ll explore the basics of legal structures, social security, and taxes. Which structure is best suited for which business venture, and what key factors should founders be aware of to make well-informed decisions? This module provides guidance and helps you identify the right options for your own path to self-employment.
The “GründungsRaum” is part of the Land.Vorteil.Gründung, supported by neuland21, Leuphana University of Lüneburg, the University of Lübeck, Wir bauen Zukunft eG,
the DeveLUP Future Center in Ludwigslust, and WFL – Economic Development Agency of the Duchy of Lauenburg. The project is funded under the “WIR! – Change through Innovation in the Region” program line of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The program strengthens regional alliances that jointly identify areas of innovation and develop new perspectives for structural change. It is aimed at regions with previously untapped innovation potential and supports them in establishing sustainable, self-sustaining structures.
