Anyone starting a business out of unemployment in Germany needs a fachkundige Stellungnahme for the Gründungszuschuss: an expert assessment confirming the venture is viable, written for the Agentur für Arbeit. It is a regulated, paperwork-heavy step — which is exactly why we built it to feel light without losing any of its rigour.
The first contact is a person
Most providers start with a form. We start with a conversation. Intake runs deliberately over WhatsApp and phone — the first contact is intentionally a human, not an endless online form.
The reason is simple. People mid-founding are often unsure, sometimes in a hurry, and almost always tense, because the grant is tied to deadlines. A short, clear conversation takes that pressure off. We listen, ask only what matters, and translate for the founder what the authority actually needs — before anything goes digital.
From conversation to an office-ready document
Behind that human first contact sits a clearly defined Stellungnahme workflow. It takes the details from intake and carries them, in a structured way, into exactly the document the Agentur für Arbeit requires — complete, consistent and in the expected shape.
So the digital part does not sit at the start; it sits in the middle. The person does the listening and the framing; the workflow does the discipline and the speed. The result is an assessment that is genuinely expert and still arrives quickly — a tension that manual correspondence rarely resolves.
The legal basis sits in SGB III; we cite it cleanly and do not invent statutes.
Express or Standard — you choose the pace
There are two paths, and the only difference is speed, not quality. The Express Stellungnahme costs 149 € and is ready in 24 hours — for founders working against a deadline. The Standard Stellungnahme costs 99 € and arrives in 3 to 5 days — for anyone with a little more lead time.
Both carry the same care and the same outcome: a document that stands up at the office. If you are in a rush, you pay for the pace, not for a better version. If you have time, you save — with nothing cut.
A guarantee that means something
Every Stellungnahme comes with a 30-day quality guarantee under AGB §6. It is not a marketing line; it is a contractual commitment: if the document does not meet the professional standard, it gets reworked.
Offering a guarantee is the most honest way to claim quality — it costs us something when we do poor work. That is precisely why it is there. It moves the risk off the person who is founding a business and back onto us, where it belongs.
Why fast and human are not opposites
It would have been easy to automate everything — a form, a generated PDF, no human. It would also have been cheap and cold. The opposite would have been just as easy: all by hand, slow, expensive. The value sits in between.
The person handles the part where a person is irreplaceable — listening, framing, building trust. The digital workflow handles the part where machines are better — structure, completeness, pace. The result is a regulated, normally sluggish bureaucratic step that feels like good service.
