Starting a business means making decisions – including about health insurance. In this practical webinar, you will learn what really matters as a founder, how to avoid costly mistakes and which options suit your business model.

When you start a business, you take on responsibility – for your idea, financing, team and also for your own social security. Especially when transitioning from studying or employment to self-employment, many questions arise:

•    Do I remain insured as a student or do I take out voluntary insurance?

•    What happens if I combine employment and self-employment?

•    How does my income affect my contributions?

•    What do I need to consider when hiring my first employees?

•    What special considerations apply to international founders?

In this 60-minute webinar, you will receive a compact, understandable overview of the German health and long-term care insurance system – specifically tailored to the start-up phases from idea to growth.

You will learn:

•    which type of insurance suits your current situation,

•    which status questions (student, employed, self-employed, mixed forms) are relevant,

•    what typical pitfalls there are,

•    how you can create planning security for yourself and your team.
