What does freelancing mean in Germany? How is your activity classified? Where do you register and sign up?

Navigating Germany’s freelancing system can be complex, but this online seminar breaks it down for you. Learn about the key differences between “freelance” activities (Freie Berufe) and other forms of self-employment (Gewerbe). Understand how to differentiate self-employment from employment, and spot pseudo-self-employment (Scheinselbstständigkeit).

This online seminar is part of the event series Get started! First steps in self-employment in cooperation with touring artists. In multiple on- and offline events, our speakers offer insights on various topics that are important for your start into self-employment in Germany. In addition, we would like to give you tips, good practice examples and connect you with other artists and creative professionals in Berlin. 

The event is held online and in English.

Participation is free of charge. As the number of places is limited, you must register in advance using our registration form.
