Open consultation

Do you have a business idea and want to assess how viable it is and what the next steps should be?
During our open consultation, we’ll help you put your idea into context, clarify any initial questions and find suitable support services.

What to expect at the open consultation:

  • An introduction

Together, we’ll look at your idea, where you’re at at the moment, and the next sensible steps to take. This also involves finding out which services, programmes or funding opportunities are best suited to your project.

  • Brainstorming on the business idea

We’ll scrutinise your business model and discuss your target audience, the benefits, feasibility and any outstanding issues. This will give you honest feedback, new perspectives and a better basis for your future decisions.

  • Assessment of funding and support options

If your project is a good fit for our programmes, we’ll show you which formats or funding opportunities are available and what the requirements are.

What the open consultation service does not provide: The open consultation service does not offer legal or tax advice.


Why DIT? Because starting a business is about more than just a business plan. It’s about direction, motivation and the courage to keep going. We’re your sparring partner – helping you achieve clarity, structure and real results.
