Business in Hamburg
Handel und Logistik
Auftragsabwicklung über mehrere Systeme hinweg ist der Regelfall. Wo Daten abgetippt werden, liegt der schnellste Hebel.
Dienstleister und Agenturen
Angebote, Nachfassen, Rechnungen: hoher Anteil gleichförmiger Vorgänge bei kleinen Teams. Gut automatisierbar, wenn der Ablauf vorher geklärt ist.
Gesundheits- und Sozialwirtschaft
Dokumentationsdruck und Fachkräftemangel wirken hier genauso wie im Norden — mit größeren Trägerstrukturen.
How we work together
We work predominantly remotely — video meetings, shared screens, access to your systems only where implementation requires it. For the initial meeting and for workshops, we can come to you on request; we do not count travel time as consulting days.

Common questions from Hamburg
How high is the BAFA funding for companies in Hamburg?
+−
For business locations in Hamburg, the BAFA grant amounts to 50% of the consulting costs. The assessment basis is €3,500 nationwide, making the maximum grant €1,750. The binding classification is made by BAFA before the assignment is commissioned.
Why is the BAFA rate in Hamburg lower than in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern?
+−
The BAFA guideline scales the grant according to the location of the business premises: 80% in the area covered by the new federal states as well as in the Lüneburg and Trier regions, 50% in the old federal states including Berlin and the Leipzig region. Hamburg falls under the 50% rule. For businesses in Hamburg, INQA-Coaching with up to 80% nationwide is therefore usually the better choice.
