The certificate
“Certified Entrepreneur – to German Standards” accosts companies that want to present
themselves as been serious and professionally managed and set up for
the long term – by using a German certificate.
-
Especially the
small and medium-sized enterprises in the respective countries are
in the focus, who want to cooperate internationally in the near
future, either in other countries or in your own country with
international partners.
-
The business of
these companies should be aligned in the long term and thus
compulsively registered and officially approved in the respective
countries. The business of the company may not only consist in the
execution of a temporary project or in the administration of
subordinate bodies, companies or projects (e.g. as Holdings).
-
The target
groups for the certificate are not limited to specific industries,
nor are quantitative limits (such as turnover, number of employees,
capital) set.
-
But for large,
globally active and diverse branched companies, the certificate is
not intended.
-
Rather, when
selecting the appropriate companies for the review, the traditional
image of the small and medium-sized individual company (SME) is in
focus.
-
Nonetheless,
this limitation should not exclude companies that operate globally
or that dominate markets (e.g. the so called "hidden champions").
