Grants & Funding

Founding, conversion, digitalisation or AI: we check Germany-wide which grants and subsidised loans fit your project — and accompany you from the first funding check through to implementation.

Not tax or legal advice. I research, structure and support the application — binding approval rests with the funding bodies; tax and legal questions are handled by licensed professionals. Funding programmes change constantly — which are currently open is clarified day-to-day in the funding check.

  • Funding check in the free initial consultation: we review which programmes are currently open for your project and location
  • Germany-wide radar: federal programmes (incl. KfW loans, BAFA consulting grants) and the development banks of the federal states — e.g. NBank in Lower Saxony or BAB in Bremen
  • Grants, subsidised loans, guarantees and investment funding — for founding, takeover, conversion, energy efficiency, digitalisation and AI
  • Digital and AI projects designed with funding in mind: from POS, ordering and reservation systems to automation in daily operations
  • Funding concept & documents: project description, cost plan and evidence prepared ready to file
  • Joint application and support through to approval — incl. coordination with bank, tax advisor and authorities
  • Deadlines, conditions and proof-of-use obligations kept in view — even after approval
  • Implementation from one source: on request we deliver the funded project ourselves
