From acorns to big business
Central Switzerland's 8.6 per cent tally of new corporate ventures is the highest in the country (source: GEM Report 2005). Small wonder, since Lucerne offers the perfect environment for new companies. Business Development Lucerne is with you all the way by supporting your endeavours with three start-up packages: the first consists of an initial consultation on your business idea. The second scrutinies your business plan and tackles specific start-up issues. Both these steps are free if you live in canton Lucerne. The third start-up package, which costs CHF 475, consists of a four-hour meeting held just before you launch your company; it allows you to go over all the points one more time.
