Anyone can become an entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur, you can decide what you do and what your schedule looks like. You also bear the responsibility for the actions of your company. Furthermore, you are obliged to make sure that the legal requirements concerning your company’s taxation and insurances are met. If you are interested in this kind of freedom and ready to bear the accompanying responsibility, entrepreneurship can be a suitable form of employment for you.
Your company should have a clear business idea – that is, a service, a product or a mode of operation that is easy to market to your potential customers. To succeed, your company needs customers. Without customers or a realistic idea of how to get them, you cannot run a company.
You may not have a clear business idea yet, and perhaps you feel uncertain about getting customers too. You can either take your time to carefully plan your concept, or just start testing ideas. However, you should be careful not to destroy your finances.
It is important to understand that, as an entrepreneur, you are responsible for your social security. Its level depends on the amount of the contributions you pay beforehand.
