Unqualified trade – obtaining trade licence step by step

No professional competence is set as a condition for carrying on an unqualified trade; an entrepreneur must only meet the general conditions for conducting trades.

Anyone complying with general requirements for carrying on a trade and notifying the trade at a trade licence office may pursue an unqualified trade. General provisions to be met are as follow: the age of 18 and more, competence to perform legal acts and a good character of the entrepreneur.
