Starting an internet based business in Germany: Advice in English?

Frage

I would like to start an internet based business. I am an Australian living in Germany with the Aufenthaltskarte. Is there an authority who speaks English that I can meet with? Who should I contact?

Antwort

With regard to the actual formation procedure, the local Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) in the city of your choice is the first point of contact when intending to start up a new business in Germany.
The IHK Hamburg will be able to advise you on the required licenses, visa regulations, and so-called welcome packages that are available in the area.
