Are you starting a business in Germany and wondering what the administrative and tax requirements are? This webinar will cover the steps from day one to save every expat's time, money and stress.

Starting as a freelancer or self-employed professional in Germany can quickly become overwhelming. Many expats make critical mistakes early on – wrong registrations, misunderstood VAT rules, or missing tax obligations – which later lead to back payments, penalties, and unnecessary stress.

The truth is: fixing mistakes in Germany is usually far more expensive than setting things up correctly from the start.

Join us on Wednesday, February 25, at 7pm, to learn more about the taxes and registration process when launching a business with guidance from Consentes. This webinar gives you a clear and practical roadmap to start your business in Germany with confidence and compliance.

Join Joseph Ledovskich, a German tax advisor with first-hand experience from the German tax office, now dedicated to supporting expats and international freelancers, for a clear and practical session on what really matters.

Joining him is guest speaker Christoph Weber, who supports founders and entrepreneurs in the creation of professional business plans. He has extensive knowledge of growth management, digital transformation and strategic planning, whether you need help structuring your idea, financial planning or creating a complete business plan.
