INQA Coaching Neubrandenburg: 80% funding in the heart of the lake district

INQA-Coaching supports companies in Neubrandenburg with 80% of consulting costs – up to €11,520 for twelve coaching days, own contribution €2,880. Because Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is considered a structurally weak region, the BAFA consulting subsidy with the full 80% (up to €2,800) also applies here.

Regional center with a wide catchment area

With around 63,000 inhabitants, Neubrandenburg is the economic center of the Mecklenburg Lake District – the largest district in Germany by area. The city is shaped by healthcare, trade, administration, crafts and services, complemented by Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences.

The large area of the surrounding region is itself a driver of digitalization: when employees, customers and locations are spread far apart, coordination takes disproportionately much time. This is exactly where the topics typically prioritized in coaching come in.

What the coaching is particularly suitable for here

• Route planning and dispatching – when routes and appointments have to be coordinated anew every day
• Accessibility – answering recurring inquiries without permanently tying someone up on the phone
• Cross-location filing – shared, searchable documents instead of local folders
• Documentation – record evidence in a structured way instead of typing it up twice

Requirements

• Less than 250 employees
• Annual revenue of no more than €50 million or annual balance sheet total of no more than €43 million
• At least a full-time position subject to social security contributions
• For at least two years in the market
• Registered office and place of work in Germany – including freelancers and non-profit organizations

Practical example: provider with multiple locations in the surrounding area

A typical case: An organization with headquarters in Neubrandenburg and several branch offices in the district coordinates duty rosters and substitutions by phone. If someone is absent, it triggers a chain of callbacks. In the coaching, the first step is to determine how many coordination channels actually arise per week. A shared digital planning system is then introduced, which all locations can view and maintain – tested with the teams so that they can continue using it independently after the coaching.

Frequently asked questions about INQA coaching in Neubrandenburg

Does the coach have to be from Neubrandenburg?

Does this also work for businesses in the rural surrounding area?

Yes. There is no restriction to major urban centers – the decisive factors are company size, revenue, and two years on the market. Especially over longer distances, the combination of on-site days and digital interim appointments is worthwhile.

How high is the funding exactly?

80% of the costs, with up to €11,520 in funding and a €2,880 own contribution for twelve coaching days. The actual amount depends on the agreed coaching days.
