A lack of information is the second-most common reason for new businesses failing prematurely. You should therefore obtain comprehensive advice before starting your own business. To this end, you should first avail of the general consulting services provided free of charge (for example, by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce or by the Chamber of Trade). However, when it comes to more complicated tax, business or contractual issues, you should take the utmost care when choosing a consultant.
