Guided instead of overwhelming
The main path is the start plan. You are guided through the key questions first and can then clarify what is still open for your case.

Flow
From idea to start plan
- 01
You answer 7 short questions
You do not have to formulate the perfect question first. The start plan walks you through your situation, idea, progress, biggest uncertainty, budget, brand plans and start speed.
- 02
The start plan sorts your case
Your answers become a clear profile: what matters now, what can wait and which obligations or pitfalls may be relevant for your case.
- 03
You get a personal start plan
The result page shows your situation, one important immediate action and a sequence of concrete steps. It is orientation for your case, not a generic article.
- 04
Recommendations appear where they help
If an account, bookkeeping tool, guide or provider fits a step, it appears directly in that step. If something does not look relevant, it is not shown just to fill space.
- 05
Afterwards you can ask focused questions
Once your start plan is ready, you can ask about individual steps. The context of your plan can help so you do not have to start from zero again.
Recommendations with context
This should not be a wall of providers. Recommendations have to follow from your answers and make a concrete decision easier.
Controlled logic instead of AI chaos
Obligations, steps and provider logic are structured in a controlled way. The chat may explain and classify, but it should not invent providers or produce binding advice.
What this site is not
Orientation, not binding advice
This site is not a tax advisor, lawyer or financial advisor. It does not replace a binding review by a tax advisor, lawyer, Chamber of Industry and Commerce, tax office, health insurer or other competent body.
The site helps you sort your case, understand next steps and prepare the right questions. Especially for taxes, contracts, liability, BAföG, health insurance or employer rules, involve official bodies or qualified professionals when the answer needs to be binding.
Affiliate & data
Transparent and case-based
Some provider links may be affiliate links. If you go to a provider through such a link, this site may receive a commission. Usually this does not create extra costs for you.
Recommendations should still follow from your case: budget, business type, progress, uncertainty and urgency. You do not simply see every provider; you see options intended to fit your next step.
For the start plan, your structured answers, generated plan, clicks on providers or guides and rough usage events may be stored. There is no login. Your start plan can be reopened through a private link if you keep that link.
Analytics such as Microsoft Clarity is only activated after consent in the cookie notice. If you do not consent, Clarity should not be loaded for cookie-based tracking or session analysis.
Details are in the privacy policy and on the affiliate page.
Process questions
What happens in the start plan?
The flow is intentionally short: first a few structured answers, then a plan with priorities, notes and the next decisions that fit your case.
Why does the start plan ask exactly 7 questions?
The 7 questions capture the main differences at the beginning: your personal situation, business type, progress, uncertainty, capital, brand plans and start speed. This creates a structured starting case instead of a generic answer.
How are recommendations created?
Recommendations follow from your answers and controlled rules. An account, tool or guide only appears when it fits a concrete step in your plan.
Can I reopen my start plan later?
Yes. The start plan opens through a private link. You do not need an account, but you should treat the link like a personal working document.
What happens to my answers?
Your answers are used to create the start plan and select relevant steps, notes and recommendations. Without a login, access remains possible through the private start plan link.
Can I ask follow-up questions afterwards?
Yes. After the start plan, you can ask about individual steps such as registration, business account, bookkeeping, LUCID or VAT ID. The chat can use the context of your plan.
