  1. 01

    Seven short questions

    On situation, plan, current state, uncertainty, budget and brand intentions. Structured, not a form with thirty fields.

  2. 02

    Your starting plan

    One first important step and the next ones in a sensible order: check your employment contract, prepare the registration, separate receipts and payments.

  3. 03

    Only then recommendations

    Guides, topics and providers appear exactly where they make the next step easier, not before.

[WARUM · LUIS] 420 characters

Sample text at the intended length. Three or four sentences on how Nebengewerbe Gründen came about: what was missing for you, what you first did by hand, and when it became clear this would turn into something. Concrete, in your own words, no marketing voice.

Why you built Nebengewerbe Gründen. Nothing public on the site states a motive, so nothing is written here.

  • What was unclear when you founded your own, that nobody explained plainly?
  • Why a starting plan rather than a guide article?
  • Why free and without a login?
[EINBLICK · LUIS] 420 characters

Sample text at the intended length. This is where the one thing you want to share publicly goes, technical or creative. Three or four sentences: what the problem was, how you solved it, and what surprised you. Enough substance that a peer nods, and short enough that nobody drops out.

One technical or creative insight you want to share publicly. None of it may come from the repo, only what you choose to tell.

  • How do seven answers turn into next steps in a sensible order?
  • Where does the data on 10,749 municipalities come from, and how does it stay current?
  • How do you keep recommendations honest when affiliate links are involved?

Where the product stops

No legal, tax or financial advice. The plan gives orientation and shows what to check. The site says exactly that, directly under the first button, not in the small print.

Gewerbeamt finder
All 10,749 German municipalities, so that "where do I actually register this" does not end up being the hardest question.
Affiliate marked
Affiliate links are marked as such. That is stated as its own point on the front page, not buried in the imprint.
Personal link
The finished plan sits behind a personal link that is not publicly listed.
Bilingual
German and English, plus a dark mode.
