Hamburg Chamber of Crafts

Apply for deletion from the register of trades that do not require registration or from the register of trades similar to a trade

  •  

Detailed description

To have a business deleted from the register of owners of a business in a trade that does not require a license or a trade that is similar to a trade, you should submit an application for deletion to the relevant chamber of crafts.

Reasons for deletion include:
  • Giving up your business (also for economic reasons)
  • Business reorganization/change of legal form
  • Death of the business owner or business transfer to a new business owner
  • Relocation of the company to another Chamber of Crafts district
The deletion can take place at the earliest on the day on which the end of the commercial activity became known (postal receipt of the application). Retrospective deletion is not possible.
Deletion takes place ex officio if the registration requirements are no longer met and no application for deletion has been submitted, for example if a temporary special permit has expired, if a legally binding commercial ban has been submitted or if self-employment cannot be proven.
Once the deletion has been completed, the authorization to practice the relevant license-free trade or trade similar to a trade expires.
