Permits

Businesses requiring certification or a licence 

Restrictions on the freedom of economic activity exist mainly in areas where either the common good or the health and safety of individuals might be jeopardised. Those wishing to run such a business must generally obtain a special permit from the authorities in addition to notifying the Ordnungsamt in the normal way. The authorities will require regular proof of personal trustworthiness and evidence that one’s financial affairs are in order. For some professions, proof of specialist knowledge and competence is required too. In individual cases, the workplace must also comply with special conditions.
