What eplan consult gmbh does

ePlan consult GmbH is a privately held German consulting firm headquartered in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt, with a second office in Halle (Saale). The company delivers three core service lines: business consulting (Beratung) covering quality management, company succession, project management, crisis management, marketing, sales, financing, and foreign trade advisory; practice-oriented further training (Weiterbildung) for job seekers, career starters, and career changers; and integration courses (Integrationskurse) including the 'Leben in Deutschland' program. It operates two notable public-funded projects: EMI (Existenzgruendung, Migration, Integration), co-financed by the European Social Fund and the State of Saxony-Anhalt since 2015, supporting migrant entrepreneurship; and Integra Aktiv, an integration project for labor market qualification.

The company targets four primary customer segments: migrants and people with migration backgrounds seeking labor market integration, German SMEs lacking internal R&D capacities, job seekers and career starters, and international investors/companies seeking German market entry or expansion into Eastern Europe, Russia, and CIS markets. Its value proposition centers on individualized, multilingual consulting (German, English, Russian, Persian, Arabic) delivered through two physical offices, free initial consultations, online seminars, and participation in regional events. The team consists of four named individuals led by Managing Director Elena Herrmann.

ePlan consult GmbH generates revenue through professional services engagements billed to businesses and individuals, training programs eligible for subsidies via the Federal Employment Agency or Jobcenter, and project-based income from the EMI and Integra Aktiv initiatives under European Social Fund and Saxony-Anhalt co-funding. No proprietary technology platform, SaaS product, or AI capability is offered; delivery is human-led. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via personal relationships, multilingual digital channels (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X), events, and a free initial consultation used as a top-of-funnel conversion mechanism.

Comparable in migrant integration services delivered in the same geography, but as a large established welfare association.
