Advisory Programme Economy NRW

The programme is aimed at business founders prior to a start-up. In the case of counselling by a management consultancy in preparation for a start-up, the costs for up to 6 days for start-ups and up to 8 days for takeovers can be subsidised at €510 per day of counselling.

Within the framework of so-called circle consultations as a combined group and individual consultation, primarily unemployed founders can be subsidised with up to €918 per day of consultation.

Target group

Funding is available for natural persons who intend to set up or take over a commercial business or freelance activity as a self-employed full-time business in North Rhine-Westphalia.

It is important:

• Counselling must always take place before the start of self-employment
• Application must be submitted and approved before counselling begins
• Applications must be submitted to the Bocholt Economic Development Agency
