The most common questions are answered here. For anything else, write to us; we usually reply on the same working day.

General

Is GEWA24 a public authority?

No. GEWA24 is a private service of doubleudot UG. We fill in the official trade notification on your behalf and submit it to the responsible trade office.

I'm a freelancer. Do I need this?

No. Freelance professions don't register a business, only with the tax office. We clarify this in the first question, before any costs arise.

Which places does this work for?

For every municipality in Germany. The forms are the same nationwide, and we send them to the office responsible for your business.

How it works

How does it work?

You choose the place and the process, answer the questions, sign on your phone and pay. We submit the notification and send you a confirmation by email.

What do I need for it?

ID card or passport, the business address and a description of the activity. For a UG or GmbH, the commercial register number or the articles of association.

We're a GbR. How does everyone sign?

Each partner gets their own notification. Everyone receives a link and signs on their own phone.

Costs

What does it cost?

Register 39,90 €, change 34,90 €, deregister 29,90 €, each being our service fee including VAT. The trade office's fee is billed to you directly by the office.

Do I get my money back if it doesn't work out?

Yes, in full, if we can't submit the notification. Once it's submitted, we no longer give refunds.

After submission

When will I get my trade licence?

The office confirms the notification with an acknowledgement of receipt, usually by post. How long that takes depends on the office. The office sends the confirmation and the fee notice directly to you.

Who else finds out about my registration?

The trade office forwards the notification to the tax office and the chamber of commerce (IHK) or chamber of crafts, among others. The tax office will then send you the tax registration questionnaire.
