## Questions and Answers

 
### What needs to be done if a business is relocated to another city or municipality?

 

Two steps are required when relocating to another municipality:

* Deregistration with the trade authority at the previous location
* Registration with the trade authority at the new location
   
### Where can I have a new trade licence issued if I change my name (through marriage)?

 

Please inform us of the name change in writing by post or e-mail and enclose a copy of the marriage certificate.  


   
### Can a business that has already been registered be re-registered as a non-branch business?

 

Yes, it is possible to extend the previously registered business to an activity outside the industry. It is also possible to completely change the previously registered and no longer exercised activity to a future activity - including one from another sector.  
**Prerequisite: The permanent establishment remains the same.**
