Testimonials

Katja Lewina Schriftstellerin

Als ich ins Coaching kam, dachte ich, es ginge mir um Erfolg. Aber am Ende ging es um etwas ganz anderes: Mir selbst und meinen Fähigkeiten vertrauen zu lernen. Sonia Flöckemeier räumte mit meinen Zweifeln auf und suchte mit mir zusammen nach einer passenden Arbeitsstruktur. Ihr „Na klar schaffen Sie das!“, klingt in mir bis heute noch nach.

Albatross Bakery Anders Alkaersig

We have been working with Sonia since before we founded our company. Initially, Sonia provided much needed clarity in regards to the basics of founding a company. As we have progressed as a company, so has Sonia's role for us: The last 2 years, Sonia has primarily functioned as our administrative and bureaucratic heavy hitter. Among other things, Sonia has helped form and shape loan applications, she has been our liaison to the banking world both when our goals were growth and when it was to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Furthermore, she has had a 100% success rate with us.

Ruth Barry Black Isle Bakery

I moved to Berlin from London in 2014 with the goal of establishing my bakery in the city. With only a beginner’s grasp of German, I was overwhelmed by the process of setting up a business and Sonia was recommended to me as someone who could guide me through everything. She helped me with all the necessary steps, from meeting with the Handwerkskammer, to helping me write my business plan, to communicating with the bank while I applied for funding. She has been a warm, passionate and invaluable source of support for me, and my bakery is still going strong five years later. I had such a positive experience with her that I have recommended her to countless other entrepreneurs in the city.

Janne Kaas BTTR

Jeder Unternehmer in der Vorgründungsphase wird öfter von Zweifeln, Aufregung und der Frage: ‘ Was wenn das alles nur ein Hirngespinst ist? ‘ heimgesucht. Sonia hat die Gabe durch all die Verwirrung einen coolen Kopf und vor allem Durchblick zu bewahren. Mir persönlich hat es extrem geholfen, jemand an meiner Seite zu haben, der einem die Banksprache verständlich machen kann und aus ewigen Kalkulationen einen Sinn herausforscht und daraus ein nachhaltiges Geschäftskonzept entwickelt.
Aus meinem anfänglichen Traum hat sich mittlerweile ein tolles Geschäft inklusive Onlineshop entwickelt und dank Sonia überstehe ich die monatlichen Höhen und Tiefen mit mehr Selbstvertrauen - das wäre ohne Sonia nicht so weit gekommen.

Shawn Barber & Chris Onton Companion Coffee

After spending a number of years evolving our tea and coffee business we realised it was time to take a significant step in order for our company to reach its potential. We needed to make a significant investment to take that step though and Sonia's thorough planning and knowledge of the various types of funding available to businesses like ours helped us to easily secure the loan that we needed and with a repayment plan that suited our scale. We have been successfully operating our cafe/kitchen for the last two years and Sonia's ongoing guidance, especially during the Coronavirus pandemic and its impact on trade, has helped us to keep the ship on course.
