Start a business: the full journey, country by country

Starting a business is not a single act but a sequence of steps that follow logically. Here is the recommended order in BoostPro AI:

• Feasibility diagnostic: assess how solid your project is and your founder profile.
• Market study: confirm that there is real demand and solvent customers.
• Financial forecast: quantify the project (revenue, costs, break-even point).
• Business plan: bring it all together in a document you can present to a bank or partner.
• Legal status: choose the form suited to your situation and your country.
• Drafting the articles, minutes, grants, media plan and, if needed, fundraising.

You are not obliged to do everything in this order, but each module feeds the next: the market study feeds the forecast, which feeds the business plan.

The conditions for starting a business differ profoundly between member states. Legal forms (SARL/EURL in France, GmbH/UG in Germany, SL in Spain, SRL in Italy, sp. z o.o. in Poland, BV in the Netherlands…), social contributions, taxation and thresholds change at every border.

Support also takes different shapes: France's ACRE has equivalents in country-specific exemption schemes; to Bpifrance's funding respond Germany's KfW, Italy's Invitalia, Portugal's IAPMEI, Spain's ENISA, and many regional funds.

Several modules are entirely free and available with no commitment: the feasibility diagnostic, the legal-status choice, the creation-grants simulator, the hiring-aid simulator and the businesses-for-sale directory.

The more advanced modules (market study, forecast, business plan, articles drafting, media plan, minutes, fundraising file) generate detailed deliverables. To explore them and learn their access conditions, see the Solutions IA page and the pricing page.

No figure is invented in our analyses: when data is not reliably available, we say so clearly.

If you are just beginning, launch the free diagnostic: in a few minutes it positions your project and points you to the most useful modules for you.

If your project is already mature, you can go straight to the market study or the forecast, then assemble your business plan. To move faster, the Pro journey brings together the key modules in a single guided path.
