  • Guide to company forms (PDF)
    This guide is for teams (not individual founders) who are about to be formally established or would soon like to take up commercial activities that do not fall under freelance work.
  • Guide to solution interviews (PDF)
    You have identified a customer problem or need and come up with a solution based on this. Before you start realising this solution, i.e. developing the product, you should ensure that the solution you have in mind adequately solves the customer’s problem.
  • Market size & potential guide (PDF)
    A market assessment is part of the standard content of every pitch deck and business plan. However, the market information available is generally limited, especially in the early start-up phase. This guide will show you how to create a simple but meaningful estimate of market size and potential based on your target group definition.
  • Guideline for problem interviews (PDF)
    Problem interviews are conducted at the very beginning of a start-up project and are intended to check the extent to which there is actually a need for a particular business idea. This guide is therefore relevant for you if you have a more or less vague business idea and want to know whether it makes sense to go ahead with it.
  • Competitive analysis guide (PDF)
    In this guide, you will learn how to select the competitors that are relevant for you and which comparison criteria are decisive.
