There are a few general legal conditions for starting a business in Germany. You have to be of legal age – i.e. at least 18 years old. Another requirement: You must not have been banned from doing the job you want to do for yourself. Courts can issue such a professional ban after serious criminal offenses.
Before starting the company, you must register your planned activity. You do this at the trade or tax office – depending on whether you are going to work commercially or as a freelancer. For some professions, you have to prove that you have no criminal record. EU citizens who live in Germany can usually apply for a “European Certificate of Good Conduct” at the registration office in their place of residence. If you come from another country, you must obtain comparable proof from the competent authorities there.
