New platform for entrepreneurs: Free company takeovers in BGL!

Something is happening in Berchtesgadener Land! The location portal of the Berchtesgadener Land-Wirtschaftsservice (BGLW) has received a fresh function that is intended to enrich not only entrepreneurs, but also the entire economy in the region. From now on, entrepreneurs can register their offers for business succession on the platform free of charge. This makes the portal an important contact point for anyone looking for free commercial space, real estate or business succession in the district. [bgland24] reports that the advertisements can be placed directly in the portal under the special usage type “business succession”.

The idea behind this expansion is clear: The BGLW wants to make the central marketing of commercial space and real estate in the district even more user-friendly. Real estate agents and owners are welcome to list their listings free of charge, and the BGLW team even offers listing assistance. In this way, the need for commercial space and business succession can not only be easily managed, but also sustainably promoted. Interested parties can search specifically for suitable properties and start a conversation directly. The portal is under locatioportal.berchtesgadener-land.de reachable.

A look at the trends

An important part of the new functions is vacancy management, which has become increasingly important in recent years. The development is promising because the needs are specifically met here. The BGLW has recorded clear criteria that range from rental and sales to possible types of use such as production, retail or catering. “We have a good knack for creating the best conditions for start-ups and company successors,” says Barbara Platschka, who is available to answer inquiries regarding a lack of suitable space.

And here's some exciting news: From November 1, 2024, there will be a new funding offer for founders and company successors - the ERP development loan for start-up and succession. [Federal Ministry of Economics] emphasizes that this program is supported by KfW and the German guarantee banks and offers a 100 percent guarantee from the guarantee banks. This relieves house banks of the risk of credit default and thus enables easier access to financial resources for everyone who ventures into self-employment or a successor.

Funding opportunities for new entrepreneurs

The new subsidies are not only intended to make company takeovers easier, but also enable investments and working capital financing. Up to 35% of a project can be funded with a maximum of 500,000 euros, which can be a real springboard for many. Another plus point: Applicants do not have to provide any security, and particularly low interest rates are even possible thanks to the guarantee banks and the federal guarantee.

Anyone thinking about entering entrepreneurship or taking over an existing company will benefit from these measures. The application is conveniently submitted via the house bank, which then applies for the guarantee to be taken over by the guarantee bank. All details about the funding program are on the website kfw.de/077 and haupt.ermoeglicher.de to find.

Overall, it can be said: The Berchtesgadener Land relies on innovation and support for company successors and founders. Be it through the new location portal or through attractive funding – something is possible here! A good time to think about the future, whether as a founder or as a successor. The chances of getting your foot in the door are not bad.
