deregister business

  • service description

    If you cease operating your business, you must deregister your business.

    If you change the legal form of your business, you also need to deregister your business. First, you must deregister your business under its previous legal form. Then, you register your business again under its new legal form.

    If you relocate the headquarters of your business, a branch office, or a dependent branch of your company to a new location without any change to the jurisdiction within the municipality, a business registration change is sufficient.

    The deregistration must be carried out by the following persons or their authorized representatives:

    • In the case of sole proprietorships: by the business owner themselves
    • In the case of legal entities: by the legal representatives, this applies, for example, to limited liability companies (GmbH) and stock corporations (AG)
    • In the case of partnerships: by all partners authorized to manage the business: this applies, for example, to general partnerships (OHG), limited partnerships with shares (KG), civil law partnerships (GbR), limited liability companies & limited partnerships (GmbH & Co. KG)

    In case of relocation of your business location:

    • If you relocate your business to a different municipality, you must register your business at the new location. Your old location will be automatically deregistered.
    • If you change your business address within a municipality, a business registration change is sufficient.
