Self-employed business people, freelancers and small businesses know and hate it equally: having to chase after their money. Lexware has now developed a new, free tool which finally makes that a thing of the past.

Visitors and fans of the next09 are invited to be the first to get to know this product at the most rigorous press conference of all time: On May 5 at 9 pm at "Zur Ritze", Reeperbahn 142, Hamburg.

In the unique ambiance of Hamburg's Number 1 red-light district pub, there'll be information, food and drinks, and spectacle galore. Our star guest is no other than Heinz Hoenig.
