Überwachungsbedürftiges Gewerbe

A trade requiring supervision according to § 38 GewO (also called trust trade) is, for example, motor vehicle trade, travel agencies, key services, trade in high-quality second-hand goods and consumer goods, marriage brokerage, trade in precious metals and other branches of industry. The competent authority checks the reliability of the trader immediately after the business registration or the business re-registration in accordance with Section 14 has been submitted. The trader must therefore submit a certificate of good conduct in accordance with Section 30 (5) of the Federal Central Register Act and information from the Central Commercial Register in accordance with Section 150 (5) for submission to the authorities, both of which can be applied for by the trade office upon receipt of the trade report for reimbursement (EUR 13.00 each) become.

In the case of business re-registrations, in which only the company's headquarters are relocated within Hamburg, there is no need for a further reliability check.
