The day has almost come!
In fact, by the time I am done with this post, the day will be here! What day you ask? The day that I FINALLY register with the German government to start a photography company (Gewerbeanmeldung)!
I have been researching, fact finding, talking with people, procrastinating, doing more research, and filling out paperwork. Finally I will go in tomorrow morning as early as I can to register for a business license with the German authorities! It has been a confusing process so far, I am hoping to be able to explain what needs to be done after tomorrow morning! One thing I know is that I have to sign up at the “Kreisverwaltungsreferat” (a collection of various offices of the local government) as well as with the “Handwerkskammer” (Chamber of Trade – Photography is a trade so I have to registier with them as well). The registration for the one says I need info from the other and vice-versa. So, tomorrow I’ll find out if I need to go to the chamber of trade first or if I can register then and there.
So check back soon for an update!
Way to go!
That sounds great! Hope it will work out everything smoothly!
