Steinbeis Consulting Center Business Establishment and Development

Services

Our focus lies in providing advisory services to both business founders receiving startup allowances and sole proprietors. Does this describe you? Then you’ve come to the right place: You will be guided on your journey, from concept to the point of market entry and profits in your bank account. During the initial phase of this process, you will also be offered honest feedback on questions such as:

  • How much potential is there in your idea?
  • What needs to be done and when?
  • How can you obtain funding and financing?

Once you’ve made decisions, it’s time to ask:

  • How do I actually earn money?
  • Acquisition – how do I find customers?
  • Is my business concept financially viable?
  • What’s the best way to make good decisions?
  • Financial and tax know-how – what do I need to know?

As a trained tax clerk, business economist (VWA Administration and Business Academy), and law graduate (Stage 1 State Examinations), Johannes Merkel knows what counts when setting up a business. With 20 years of professional experience he has now supported well over 1,000 successful startups.

Having also been on a personal journey himself – which has included ambiguities and professional upheavals – thanks to decades of accompanying and supporting business founders, Johannes Merkel has found his goal in life: to stop people from making typical startup errors and to offer effective and productive support in his capacity as a consultant and advisor.

Key Areas

  • Johannes Merkel works alongside you to tackle all of the issues that will arise on your journey – from “how do I identify customers” to “filling in forms,” “side-stepping financial issues,” and “I’m going to do my own bookkeeping.” To do this, he taps into powerful tools that he has used many times successfully in the past.
  • He is passionate about helping you become a self-sufficient entrepreneur, so you can focus on the steps that will become increasingly important as you follow your individual “roadmap.”
  • Not only will he help you identify what you really want, but you will also discover how your customers see you. In addition to being curious about your vision, he is also sensitive to your specific situation and actual needs. You will receive honest feedback, injecting you with courage and the thirst to make things happen.
