About Legaria and our contacts

What the service covers

We arrange your trade licence from choosing the right trade category through to the extract from the Trade Register. We determine whether your activity is a free, craft or regulated trade and what has to be evidenced for it.

Craft and regulated trades require proof of professional competence. If you do not have it, there is a route via a responsible representative — we explain how that works and what it involves.

We assess follow-up tax, social security and health insurance obligations for your circumstances. The quote specifies which tasks we handle and which remain your responsibility.
