I

I was born in Budapest and have lived in Germany since childhood. German and Hungarian are not foreign languages that I switch between when needed. These are the two languages of my life. I know the mentality, expectations and often very different ways of doing business in both countries. This helps especially when an entrepreneur needs not only a translation, but someone who understands what is actually meant on both sides.

I speak from my own experience.

My professional experience comes from doing the work myself, rather than reading about it or watching from the sidelines. I have worked in marketing, built businesses, formed companies, changed structures and supported projects through difficult periods. I have worked on public image and reputation because I have experienced first-hand how much a clear perception of a person or business matters. What I explain today comes from my own practical work: making decisions, taking responsibility, dealing with authorities and seeing the consequences of inadequate preparation.

This does not mean that I carry out every task alone or claim professional authority that I do not hold. I am neither a lawyer nor a tax consultant. Legal and tax assessments belong to appropriately qualified professionals. My work comes before, between and after those assessments: I clarify the goal, identify open questions, organise the sequence, bring the right people together and remain the point of contact throughout the project. I explain how this works in practice under Method and Setup.

I look beyond completion to a result that works.

In the case of a company formation I am not only interested in whether a company is registered. I want to know whether it will be operational afterwards, whether the bank, accounting, registers, responsibilities and the next steps have been considered. In the case of a Holding structure The work does not start with a finished template, but with the question of what the entrepreneur really wants to achieve. In protection planning and reputation The aim is to organize risks, property and external impact at an early stage – not only when a conflict already determines the scope for action.

I want lasting relationships, rather than a quick deal.

In the course of my work, I have dealt with more than 1,500 customers and business contacts. Many contacts became lasting partnerships, some became friendships. One of my oldest partners has been by my side for about 30 years. This long-term approach is not an advertising phrase for me. It is the measure of how I work. Open conversations, reliability and a willingness to face difficult moments usually provide a better foundation for doing business together.

Of course, the focus of cooperation is business. Nevertheless, I prefer to work with people who want to build a reasonable relationship with each other. I don’t disappear if a conversation becomes uncomfortable. I do not hide behind a succession of different contacts or avoid giving a clear answer. Not every answer will always be pleasant. But it should be comprehensible and help to make a viable decision.

My network has grown over the years.

I regularly travel between Budapest and Hanover. Other established contacts in my network are in Vaduz and Zurich, in the Salzburg area and in Manchester. The people I work with in these countries are established contacts, rather than names collected from a service directory at short notice. Many connections have existed for years or decades. This allows direct communication and cooperation in which everyone knows what to expect from each other.

For entrepreneurs who want to form a company or establish operations in Hungary, HUNCONSULT provides a dedicated point of contact focused on Hungary. There I combine my Hungarian origin, my bilingualism and my personal presence in Budapest with experienced partners for the professional work involved. You can find further details of my personal and professional background at Norbert-Peter.de.

What you can measure me by.

I do not promise miracles or recommend a structure simply because it sounds impressive. I listen, ask questions and give my honest view when a simpler solution is better than the one originally requested. What I offer is experience, a clear overview, established contacts and a willingness to take responsibility for the process. If this results in long-term cooperation, that is the better result for me than a quick deal.
