  • Service description

    If you wish to cease operating your business, you are obliged to deregister your business.

    The same applies if you relocate the headquarters of your business or a branch office or a dependent branch of your company to a new location and this results in the jurisdiction of a different municipality. First deregister your trade or business at the previous location. Then register it again at the new location.

    If you change the legal form of your business, a business deregistration is also required. You must first deregister your business under the previous legal form. You then re-register your business under the new legal form.
    If you relocate the headquarters of your business or a branch office or a dependent branch of your company to a new location without changing the jurisdiction within the municipality, a business re-registration is sufficient.
    The deregistration must be carried out by the following persons or their authorised representatives:

    • in the case of sole traders, by the trader himself,
    • in the case of corporations (e.g. GmbH, AG) by the legal representatives.

    In the case of partnerships (e.g. OHG, KG, GbR/BGB-Gesellschaft, GmbH & Co. KG), all partners authorised to manage the business are required to register their business.
