Re-register trade
A business re-registration is always necessary if you move an already registered independent business with a fixed place of business (in the so-called "standing business") within Berlin or if you change your business activities.
This is the case if:
You can also voluntarily report other changes with the business re-registration. For example, if your surname has changed due to marriage or if you no longer practice individual registered activities in your trade and would like to delete them from the trade register.
Notes:
This is the case if:
- Relocation of business within Berlin.
- Change in commercial activity.
- Expansion of commercial activities.
You can also voluntarily report other changes with the business re-registration. For example, if your surname has changed due to marriage or if you no longer practice individual registered activities in your trade and would like to delete them from the trade register.
Notes:
- If you move the head office of your business or a branch office or dependent branch of your business to a new location outside the municipality (business relocation outside Berlin), the business must be deregistered in Berlin and re-registered in the other federal state (at the new location) (see " More information).
- When taking over an existing business, joining as a new managing partner or converting a business into another legal form, a business registration is required (see " More information).
