Please note delays in processing!

The Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises is currently introducing new software for processing commercial law matters in Berlin's public order offices. This involves migrating extensive data sets. In addition, the new software must be integrated into workflows and the product further adapted for use in Berlin's public order offices. Due to this comprehensive system changeover, there may be delays in the processing of commercial law matters.
Such challenges are common during software conversions. We are actively working to stabilise the processes as soon as possible. Your applications and notifications will be processed as quickly as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding!

Please note: By submitting your business registration, you have already fulfilled your obligation under Section 14 (1) of the Trade Regulation Act (GewO). You can commence your commercial activities immediately after registration. However, this does not apply to activities that require official approval. The confirmation of your business registration is not an administrative act, but merely an acknowledgment of receipt of your registration. The delay in processing will not result any disadvantages for you under commercial law.

Note on postal delivery!

Please note that due to a current system change in the commercial departments of Berlin's public order offices, your business registrations - without using a BundID account - must be confirmed by mail. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Service description

Deregister trade

You must deregister your business whenever you cease trading as a self-employed person with a fixed place of business (known as a ‘permanent business’).

This applies if:
  • 1. You wish to completely cease or discontinue your business operations.
  • 2. You relocate the head office of your business, or a branch or dependent branch of your company, to a new location outside the municipality (outside Berlin). In this case, register your business with the trade licensing authority at the new location in the new municipality and inform them that your business is to be deregistered in Berlin.
  • 3. You change the legal form of your business. Deregister your business under its previous legal form. You must then re-register your business under the new legal form by submitting a new business registration application.
Notes:
  1. If your business continues to operate and you simply wish to notify the authorities of the partial cessation of certain business activities, you may do so voluntarily by submitting a business re-registration form. (see “Further information”)
  2. If you are relocating the head office of your business, or a branch or a dependent branch of your company, to a new location within the municipality (in the case of relocation within Berlin), it is sufficient to submit a change of business registration to the Public Order Office at the new business location. (see “Further information”)

The relevant authority will also forward the business deregistration to other bodies such as the tax office, the Chamber of Skilled Crafts or the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the registry court and the employers’ liability insurance association. The purpose of deregistering a business is to enable the relevant authority to monitor the conduct of business and to carry out statistical surveys.

Procedure
  1. You can deregister your business online via the link below (with or without a BundID account) or by submitting the PDF form in person at the Public Order Office.
  2. There is no fee for deregistering a business.
  3. If you deregister online using a BundID account, the confirmation of deregistration will be sent directly to your BundID account. If you do not have a BundID account, you will receive the confirmation of deregistration by post. If you deregister in person, the confirmation will be handed to you on the spot.
