Working on your own account, becoming a boss, marketing a new product yourself, taking over a company or offering tradesman services. Start-ups do all this!

Supporting start-ups and young companies is also a central concern of the business development department. Contacts with authorities, support with licensing issues or information on funding opportunities - the business development department is always available here as an active partner. In addition, the city of Hilden offers start-ups whose companies are no more than three years old a rental subsidy for commercial space.
