However, those who know the right funding options can secure up to \u20ac200,000 in start-up capital \u2013 and even have up to 100% of the advisory costs funded. This article shows how both are possible.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Contents of this article<\/h3>\n<ol class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-decimal flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">The reality of self-employment: Forms instead of Ferraris<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Secure up to 100% funding for advisory costs<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">The \u20ac200,000 start-up capital: Who can apply<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Which documents you need for the application<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">The funding advantages: Guarantee, grant &amp; more<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Conclusion: Your next steps<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">1. The reality of self-employment: Forms instead of Ferraris<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Many founders initially think: &#8220;I&#8217;ll become self-employed, and then I&#8217;ll buy myself a Porsche or Ferrari.&#8221; The reality is quite different. In Germany, the saying &#8220;From the cradle to the grave \u2013 forms, forms, forms&#8221; exists for a reason. Even before you start your business, you must complete and submit the first forms before you are even allowed to begin. And afterwards, it usually takes quite some time before you are covering your costs and can actually make a living from your business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">This is exactly what X-Group has specialised in since 2002: helping people start their self-employment journey safely and with peace of mind. With over 40 companies founded or co-founded and more than 4,000 founders supported by the team, this is the experience behind every funding consultation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"ml-2 border-l-4 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.1)] pl-4 text-text-300\">\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">&#8220;From the cradle to the grave: forms, forms, forms. And it is exactly the same in your self-employment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">2. Secure up to 100% funding for consultancy costs<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Because X-Group has been established in the market for over 20 years and is certified and approved by many funding institutions, it is possible not only to apply for grants for your own living expenses or subsidised funding for your business \u2013 <strong>the consultancy costs themselves can be funded by 50 to 100%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Whether you want to start your business through the employment agency or job centre and secure grants, need a business plan or financial plan for this, or require investment funds of up to \u20ac200,000 or more: the consultancy supporting you can itself be eligible for funding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> These funding pots are currently available \u2013 but not guaranteed to remain so. Those who act now secure the current conditions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">3. The \u20ac200,000 start-up capital: Who can apply<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">A particularly popular funding programme enables founders <strong>to access up to \u20ac200,000 in start-up capital<\/strong> \u2013 regardless of whether you want to operate in trade, services, or manufacturing. Eligible applicants include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Full-time founders<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Young entrepreneurs<\/strong>who have been in the market for no more than five years<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Employees starting a side business<\/strong>who wish to build up a company alongside their employment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Anyone currently employed who registers a side business can also apply for this capital to gradually build up their own company \u2013 until it covers their living expenses. The business plan and financial plan should set out the intention to create a full-time position for themselves within the next five years using the start-up capital.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">4. Which documents you need for the application<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The biggest challenge for new founders: there is no entrepreneurial track record \u2013 no annual financial statements, no income-surplus statement, no balance sheets. Therefore, a particularly convincing and plausible <strong>Financial Plan<\/strong>, supported by the written section of a <strong>business plan<\/strong>, with appendices that are 100% complete and correct, is required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">If these documents are complete, accurate and plausible, the funding provider for the \u20ac200,000 can even go up to <strong>80% in a free guarantee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">5. The funding advantages: Guarantee, grant &amp; more<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The preparation of the necessary documents \u2013 financial plan, business plan and appendices \u2013 can also be funded:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">With a <strong>AVGS voucher<\/strong> it is possible to obtain <strong>100% funding<\/strong> for the consulting service.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">If you are not entitled to an AVGS because you do not currently have an ALG I or ALG II notice, another funding programme can still provide <strong>a 50 to 80% grant<\/strong> possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">This means: If you receive conceptual support to meet the requirements for the \u20ac200,000 start-up capital, you can have 50 to 80% of the associated consulting costs reimbursed \u2013 paid directly into your own account.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">6. Conclusion: Your next steps<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Whether \u20ac200,000 in start-up capital for your business or up to 100% funding for the consultancy that gets you there: Both programmes can be combined, provided your financial plan and business plan are complete, plausible and correct from the outset. X-Group is certified nationwide and supports you regardless of where you live in Germany.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Ready to secure your start-up capital?<\/strong> Book your free initial consultation now \u2013 together, we will check which funding options are available for your start-up and how to apply for them in the correct order: <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/x-group.de\/en\/#kalender\">x-group.de\/#kalender<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><\/main><\/p>\n<footer class=\"xg-footer\">\n<div class=\"xg-wrap\">\n<div class=\"xg-footer-top\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"X-Group\" height=\"56\" src=\"https:\/\/x-group.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/X-GROUP-logo-250x86.png\" width=\"150\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We prepare start-ups and businesses for financing and funding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"xg-footer-cols\">\n<div>\n<h3>Start-up &amp;
