Self-employed instead of employed: The Cologne Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK Köln) supports you in starting your own business

You don’t just want to start a job — you want to build your own company and become your own boss? The IHK Köln accompanies you free of charge on this journey — from your first idea to your successful business launch.

Our services for you:

  • Individual consulting: We help you identify the legal, tax, and organizational steps required.
  • Business plan & financing: We provide feedback on your concept and support you with funding programs, bank meetings, and financing options.
  • Legal structure & protection: We explain the pros and cons of different legal forms and highlight potential pitfalls.
  • Networks & contacts: Benefit from our events, networks, and direct connections to key partners in the region.

Our goal is to offer you practical and transparent guidance, helping you turn your business idea into a successful and sustainable venture.

With us, it’s not about finding a job — it’s about making your dream of self-employment a reality.
