  • Written by News Company


We all know the basic reason behind starting a business is to gain a great profit by increasing the level of the capital. You have to find funding and lenders for starting a business and then you must open a business account to start a business. After starting the company, you must record your finance for start-ups. Paying taxes in self-employment is also necessary for starting up your business.

Some factors you must follow before registering a business.


Step 1: Get approval and permission

It depends on what you want to start your own business with. You may need approvals, and you may need to demonstrate certain qualifications to start a business. It is necessary to contact various authorities such as the construction or health department. A specialist examination or information may also be required to set up a company. Here you can find out what else you should know about to register a business.

In every federal state, there is a single point of contact who will support you with all formalities when you start your company.

Step 2: Form the company legally

It depends on the type of company you choose. A partnership agreement and a visit to the notary are mandatory. Company formation is relevant to many questions, such as taxation. You should inform yourself well beforehand and check whether you have chosen the right company form for your project.


Your company's registration

Whether it is a trade office, chamber of commerce, chamber of Crafts, commercially Register or Tax Office, you must register it in the legal form. If you are a sole trader, businessman or a freelancer, it is necessary to choose the right side for yourself in which you are qualified and do it the best. If you want to start a company or want to become self-employed, there are many reporting requirements that you must follow when starting up a company. You have to find out which offices or authorities you need to do as a business start-up in the section of registering a company.


Step 3: Opening your business account

The opening of a business account usually follows the establishment of the company. Freelancers and sole traders can choose between a low-cost checking account and a business account. Partnerships and corporations should open a business account. If you would like to find out more about the topic before starting your business, click here.

For corporations, it is only effective if the share capital has been paid into the business account. The notary has confirmed this, and then legalities register the company in the commercial register. The registration of business is linked with a business account. You should choose a reliable bank for your business account.


Step 4: Do not forget your health insurance obligation!

When starting up a company, it is also about avoiding risks for self-employment. Insurance is obtainable for many issues that you cannot influence so that the financial effect does not mean that the start-up ends early.

Some insurance policies are compulsory, such as health insurance. Here you can choose between statutory and health insurance. As a first step, we recommend comparing the tariffs of the private health insurance then compare the preferred tariff with the statutory health insurance. It is best to have a free and non-binding health insurance comparison.

As far as operational threats and risks are concerned, you should first find out which insurance policies are useful for your industry and then analyse the insurance system as your needs.

When you start a business, you can choose between statutory insurance and private health insurance. Use the opportunity to think about a change. Private health insurance is often cheaper for young self-employed people.


Step 5: Register property rights

When you start a company, you should also first check which property rights you can declare for products, inventions or your logo. The domain or company name also needs to be secured when the company is starting up. As a business founder, read more about important industrial property rights when you found the company.


Step 6: Set up accounting & tax planning

The topic of taxes and finance is taking great importance for every business start-up. In addition to financing your business start-up, there are also many other finance and tax law issues that are important.

It is also important to keep in mind that to set up the bookkeeping with correct form, the start-up, and to plan tax advance payments. As a rule, it is advisable to work with an experienced tax advisor who can relieve you from these two issues of accounting and taxes.

TIP

You should leave the accounting and tax returns to an experienced tax advisor. So you can fully focus on your company. It not only saves a lot of time but ultimately saves a lot of your money.
