Making the Leap: Switching from Job to Business in Germany

Making the Leap:  Switching from Job to Business in Germany Making the leap from a stable job to running your own business in Germany is exciting — and a little daunting. Beyond the new freedom and responsibility, there are practical, legal, and financial changes that can surprise even the most prepared founders.  A few years ago, I made the big leap — I left my full-time job and started my own business in Germany.  Since then, I’ve not only learned a lot through my own journey but have also had the privilege of supporting many individuals as they launched their own startups.

House Remodeling: No bliss in Ignorance

 Remodeling: No bliss in Ignorance  So, you've found your dream property in Germany and are ready to take the next steps to bring your vision to life—exciting times ahead! First of all, Congratulations! Finalizing a property purchase in Germany is no small feat. Anyone who has gone through the process can certainly relate—the tight appointment schedules, endless questions about the property, language barriers, and navigating the complex buying process, including reading through countless contracts and insurance policies, can be overwhelming. From what I’ve seen and heard, the real journey doesn’t start with buying the property—it begins the moment you have the keys in your hands. Yes, I’m talking about transforming a pre-owned property into a space that truly reflects your vision and personality. A wise person once said that we learn more from our mistakes than from our victories. This couldn’t be more true when it comes to renovations in Germany. Relying solely on others' st...
