Let's get started!
Shape your own professional future
For many people, working for themselves is a step toward greater satisfaction. It often takes years in a profession to realize that your heart lies elsewhere. If you want to turn your passion into your work and fulfill your potential, starting your own company could be the right move. We’ll advise and support you along the way.
Do you want to work for yourself or remain employed?
So think carefully about that question. If you’re unhappy at work, first talk to your managers. Committed employees are in demand. As an intrapreneur (an employee who takes on entrepreneurial responsibility within a company), you can use your ideas to help your employer develop. An open conversation that also communicates your desire for change may open up new prospects.
- Realizing your own business idea and vision
- Working independently with sole responsibility
- Potential for flexible hours and higher earnings
- Irregular income
- You must arrange your own social security coverage
- Good self-management required
