Start-up advice
Leaving your employer is a major life change – but it is often also the starting point for something of your own.
Through OMC’s start-up consultancy in Berlin, we support professionals and managers in turning a career change into a viable, self-determined future.
What is OMC’s start-up consultancy service?
Our start-up consultancy offers personalised, comprehensive support for people who wish to become self-employed following a departure from their employer. It combines business coaching, entrepreneurial expertise and a personal assessment of your current situation – from the initial idea through to successful implementation.
The key points in a nutshell
The benefits for you – because self-employment requires clarity
Orientierung & Sicherheit
Sie gewinnen Sicherheit, weil Ihre Entscheidung auf Fakten, Marktkenntnis und Erfahrung basiert – nicht auf Bauchgefühl oder Druck durch die Trennung.
Realistische Erfolgsaussichten
So entsteht eine Selbstständigkeit, die nicht nur tragfähig ist, sondern sich auch langfristig richtig anfühlt.
Individuelle 1:1 Beratung
Als Sparringspartner auf Augenhöhe begleiten wir Sie strukturiert durch alle Phasen – von der Idee bis zur Umsetzung. Persönlich, vertraulich und verbindlich.
Wirkung für Zukunft
Unsere Existenzgründungsberatung ist – im Rahmen des Outplacements – zeitlich unbefristet und endet erst mit Ihrer erfolgreichen Gründung. Das gibt Ihnen den Raum, Entscheidungen fundiert zu treffen und nachhaltig zu handeln.
Analysis & Decision-making
The first step is to be honest with yourself: is self-employment the right next step for you?
Through in-depth discussions, we analyse your professional situation, your personal motivations, strengths and values, as well as your entrepreneurial skills. We also explore possible alternatives so that you can make an informed and well-considered decision – free from time pressure or external expectations.
Development of the business idea
Based on this analysis, we will work with you to develop a viable business idea that suits you.
We will refine your service offering, define your target audiences, assess market opportunities and establish your unique positioning. In doing so, we ensure that your self-employment is not only financially viable but also aligns with your personality and life circumstances in the long term.
Planning & Preparation
In this phase, your idea is developed into a robust business plan.
We’ll help you draw up a professional business plan and realistic financial projections, and advise you on legal structures, tax matters, insurance and funding opportunities. Our aim is to provide you with structure, clarity and confidence as you embark on your journey into self-employment – without overwhelming you with technical jargon.
Implementation & Market Entry
Finally, we’ll actively support you as you set up your business.
Whether it’s establishing your market presence, attracting customers, taking your first steps in business development, or dealing with organisational matters – we’ll be by your side as a sounding board throughout this phase. This means you won’t be starting out on your own, but with a clear plan, professional support and the confidence to embark on your new venture.

Arrival
Get started
Take off
Experience that opens doors.
For over 25 years, we have been successfully supporting professionals and executives in securing new roles. Our outplacement expertise combines proven quality standards with a personal touch – and, through a nationwide network, provides access to the hidden job market. This opens up new opportunities that go far beyond publicly advertised vacancies, offering genuine security for your next career move.
What makes us unique
OMC is not a traditional start-up consultancy – but a consultancy specialising in career reorientation.
Advice that ensures safety rather than hasty decisions
We don’t charge by the hour, but rather until we achieve results. As part of the outplacement process, our support only ends once you have successfully set up your own business. This takes the pressure off the decision and gives you the confidence to follow the right path at your own pace.
Counselling that puts people first
We are a values-driven company and make a conscious decision not to advise clients to simply start their own business at the first opportunity. Your business venture should be sustainable, suit your personality and bring you long-term satisfaction – both professionally and personally.
Consultancy that sells experience rather than theories
At OMC, you will work exclusively with experienced senior consultants. As equal partners, they bring business and management experience to the table – practical, realistic and solution-focused.
Advice that is tailored to the individual rather than standardised
OMC is not a one-size-fits-all consultancy. Every business start-up is developed on an individual basis, supported personally and implemented to suit your specific needs. No off-the-shelf programmes, just bespoke solutions for your career change.
Experience across all sectors
Every industry has its own rules – and we know them. OMC has been working at the intersection of strategy, brand and organisation for years.
