About the event

Anyone who has done even the slightest bit of research into becoming self-employed in Austria knows that business licences can be a tricky subject. From registering a freelance business to deciphering the roles of key institutions like SVS, Finanzamt, and WKO, there are several steps involved. However, one of the most challenging aspects is understanding and obtaining the required business lenseci. In this webinar, we will explore two business licences: the free licence and the regulated business licence, often known as "reglementierten Gewerbe." The speaker will shed light on the unique challenges that foreigners face when pursuing specific self-employed business activities in Austria.
