How to Start Your Own Beauty Business in Germany
Do you dream of working independently in the beauty industry in Germany but are worried about the requirements of German law and the uncertainty of how to register your business properly?
These concerns are common among those considering a career here as a lash stylist, nail technician, waxing-sugaring specialist, or PMU artist.
Why is it essential to pay attention to legal aspects?
Anyone wanting to work in the beauty industry should be aware that not understanding the laws can lead to heavy fines. The German system regulates all aspects of entrepreneurship quite strictly, so it’s crucial to get everything right from the start to avoid complications.
Do you need a qualification certificate if you already have certifications and work experience from another country?
Many stylists wonder if they need proof of their qualifications to work in Germany.
The answer depends on whether your profession is recognized in Germany’s occupational catalog. For example, nail technicians, lash stylists, and brow artists do not need a qualification certificate, which makes the process much easier.
But this is far from the only issue you need to address.
What else is essential to know?
When it comes to the legal aspect, it’s important to understand the following:
- Choosing a form of self-employment. Sole proprietorship (freelancer or trade)? How and where to register a sole proprietorship?
- Accounting. Where and how to document ongoing income and expenses? How to issue invoices? What mistakes can lead to tax problems?
- Taxes and tips. What taxes do you need to pay, and how should you handle tips to avoid fines?
- Insurance. Which types of insurance are required for entrepreneurs and which are optional?
- Hygiene requirements in different federal states in Germany. How to maintain hygiene standards and create a competent hygiene plan and sterilization protocols?
- Data protection. What are the requirements for processing and storing customer data?
- Social media management. What information must be provided on your Instagram account to avoid fines?
- Attracting clients with coupons. Is it worth working with Groupon and other services?
