Eintragung als handwerklicher Kleinunternehmer in das Verzeichnis der örtlich zuständigen Handwerkskammer beantragen

If you would like to focus on a non-essential activity of a craft subject to approval and have a relevant journeyman's training, you must be entered in the register of your local Chamber of Crafts.

Chambers of Crafts represent the interests of the entire craft sector in a chamber district. Their task is to promote the region's businesses and support their interests through self-government.

If you are self-employed in a non-essential activity of a craft subject to licensing, which quantitatively accounts for the majority of your commercial activity and is carried out in a craft business form, and have a journeyman's training in a craft subject to licensing, the training content of which has prepared you for the activity carried out, you are a compulsory member of the Chamber of Crafts.

By commencing your commercial activity, you must apply for entry in the register of persons pursuant to Section 90 (3) and (4) HwO. The Chamber of Crafts in whose district your commercial establishment exists is responsible.

As soon as you belong to the Chamber of Crafts, you can use the offers and services of your Chamber of Crafts.
