Deregister a business in Berlin: the essentials
If you close, sell or hand over your business in Berlin, you deregister it at the trade office. Deregistration should coincide with the closure of the business.
Deregistration uses the same nationwide form (GewA 3). What matters is the date you actually stopped. The trade office then informs the tax office and the IHK or chamber of crafts itself.
If someone takes over your business, the successor must register it themselves. That can be done through GEWA24 too.
