TEAM U Restart gGmbH
About TEAM U
editTEAM U is a social enterprise that specifically focuses on supporting entrepreneurs, self-employed individuals, and freelancers in crisis situations. Here are the central aspects of our commitment:
Services and Target Groups
editTEAM U offers free guidance and orientation for ways out of crisis. Our services are particularly aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), self-employed individuals, freelancers, family businesses, and start-ups. We are convinced that with timely professional help, about 50% of all insolvencies could be avoided, and we work to protect livelihoods, jobs, and the quality of life of those affected[2].
Mission and Values
editOur mission is to support entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals in crises and to guide them out of difficult situations. We stand for experience, competence, professionalism, and human appreciation. Integrity, trust, and the willingness to change direction are central values that determine our actions. We work independently and without hidden costs, with the goal that society benefits from our services[2].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editTEAM U has been recognized for its commitment through numerous awards and accolades. We have been honored, among other things, with the nationwide umbrella award for voluntary engagement, the competition "Awarded Places in the Land of Ideas," and as a lighthouse project of the EU Commission. Furthermore, our founder, Attila von Unruh, has been an official Ashoka Fellow since 2011, which underscores our efforts for innovative and entrepreneurial solutions to social problems[2].
Support Offers
editWe do not offer tax or legal advice, but we connect experts from our network who work on a fee basis under special conditions. Our work is primarily financed through independent means, which allows us to act objectively and without conflicts of interest. Through our guidance, we support the management of crises and help find ways to stabilize and grow[2].
TEAM U is an important partner for anyone who needs support and orientation in difficult times. With our commitment, we contribute to ensuring that entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals can secure their existence and continue to make valuable contributions to society.
