Trade Authorization / Business License

For many self-employed activities in Austria, a corresponding trade registration, trade authorization or business license is required before starting the activity.

Depending on the type of activity, different documents, evidence or preparation steps may be necessary. AS Consult supports entrepreneurs in going through this process in a structured, understandable and well-prepared way.

We help classify the planned activity, collect the necessary information, prepare documents and organize the further steps until the commercial activity can be started.
