International + Immigrant Entrepreneur Guides (/register-a-business/germany, /start-a-business-as-an-immigrant)
FreeWhat it is
Two honest educational guides: starting a business in Germany (legal forms Freiberufler/Einzelunternehmen/GmbH/UG, the visa path for non-EU entrepreneurs, notarization, Gewerbeamt/Finanzamt/ELSTER registration steps, realistic 3-6 month timeline, verify-with-the-agency honesty on all figures) and the US pathways map for immigrant entrepreneurs (E-2, EB-5, O-1/EB-1, L-1, IER, EB-2 NIW compared side by side, treaty-country note for Haitian and Nigerian entrepreneurs, and the funding channels open regardless of citizenship: SBDC/SCORE/WBC counseling, CDFI and ITIN-friendly lenders, NY and CA state programs). Clearly labeled educational, not legal advice, with USCIS as the source of truth.
