Who would not ever be his own boss? The situation on the labor market is uncertain, the annoying colleague, or just find oneself as hopelessly underpaid and / or challenged.

What could be more obvious than his own business? First of all, many things, because for such a company needs to seed capital (eg, types of company GmbH). This can be procured from banks ... or b.z.w. from shareholders Limited partners. There are many possibilities, but probably the most pleasant and Anlomplizierteste is to apply for funding.

Funding by the European Union, the State or its countries (often given) private companies and issued. There are many forms of subsidies such as those who themselves financially weak, even the unemployed, provide a low-interest loans available (Berlin: "Business Start Up Loan"). Another example of subsidies for small businesses, the so-called "master establishing premium" that master craftsmen in the start-ups is to assist financially. The founding master of premium varies in nature to a subsidy on country (North Rhine-Westphalia and Berlin) between € 7,500 and € 10,230. It must be of no Rüchzahlung of the premium. Despite her generosity by the state, one must also, at least in possession of a promising business idea. The state also will not invest in a loss.

It does cover a variety of other types of subsidies, the key areas an economic interest. Sun e.g. various subsidies to the agricultural economy, which offset maximum and minimum prices. Even the EU intervenes in the agricultural sector through subsidies, in the form of export subsidies and export refunds. The aim of these market influences is to maintain competitiveness on the world market, or the internal prices in the EU at a stable level.

Another very important aspect of subsidy is the "acquisition of external costs". To offer companies an incentive to locate in a particular region or in the conversion to cleaner technologies, are emerging (More) costs either to a specific percentage or fully subsidized.

This is a commendable approach, but leads in some situations to some Janus funding behavior. Thus the current subsidy policy of the Federal Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel, in the new building will be supported by modern coal-fired power plants. This would turn out to the detriment of those companies that want to actually install climate-friendly technologies, because the support for "modern" coal-fired power plants and "real" climate-friendly technologies are from the same budget range. And once everyone's budget is now limited.

The list of types of subsidies is long, the list of wasted funding also. Nevertheless, government grants remain important, as many a subsidy program also helps new companies existence and medium enterprises in the successful economies. But you should also note that many tax dollars to flow in the form of financial assistance in the field of lobbying parties.
