Gewerbeerlaubnis zur Bausparkredit- und Darlehensvermittlung The Verwaltungsgerichtshof (VGH) Baden-Württemberg has already decided by its judgement of 29.04.1997 that the ?concept of real estate? is to be interpreted broadly. The permission according to § 34 c GewO as a real estate broker also requires who only mediates loans ? if a condition of the granting of credit is a land charge security.
Business license for real estate brokerage The additional business license not only costs more money ? it is also associated with ongoing follow-up costs due to the extended audit within the framework of the MaBV. If the district office has any suspicions, a more detailed investigation will be carried out. Violation of the obligation to obtain a sufficient business license beforehand can lead to a fine and an entry in the trade register. Reliability or good repute may also be affected.
Financial transfer business: transport of money and valuables to tax havens (Liechtenstein, Nassau, ?) Many an intermediary collects “tax-neutral” and other cash, especially for foreign asset managers. Corresponding ?messenger services? are subject to permission since 01.01.1998. The permission is granted by Bafin, §§ 1 I Nr.6, 32 KWG. The simple messenger activity does not fall under this regulation ? however the permission obligation begins if the funds of several clients are factually mixed due to further achievements. In individual cases, it is advisable to obtain a negative attestation before starting the activity.
The following question may arise on April 1 for spouses with a child: Both parents give their child money to deliver to the cashier at the Kramer store. Of course, the child should also go shopping (additional benefit) ? and, of course, the money from the child is also transported together in one pocket (mixing). What fee is then due for the permission of Bafin? And what are the costs of a Bafin special audit in the parents’ home, because of the financial transfer transactions of their child?
