If you have passed the master craftsman's examination for a craft subject to licensing and want to become self-employed, you must register in a register kept by your regionally responsible chamber of crafts (Handwerksrolle) before you start your entrepreneurial activity.       

     In addition to the company owner (sole proprietor, partnership with legal capacity or legal entity), the register of skilled crafts also lists who is responsible for the management of the business.        

     If you yourself do not have a master craftsman's certificate for the craft to be operated or a related craft, you can employ a person who is responsible for the professional-technical management of the craft business and who has the necessary professional qualification to practice the craft requiring approval. In this case, the application for registration must be submitted together with a declaration of management and supplementary documents.
