This module is useful for a solopreneur because it has the possibility to know all the tools and aspects necessary to build his business. The module starts with methods and tools with which the European Commission undertakes to support the solopreneurs (for example the COSME programme). The administrative, legal and fiscal requirements are then illustrated: these vary from one Country to another, but in general, thanks also to European policies, they have many points in common. Finally, there are useful tips and a check list to logistically organise a business.
