Relocation

In many cases, relocating a company's registered office is the most efficient way to respond to changes in factors such as sales market, costs etc.

When moving a company to a new location, there are certain points to bear in mind with respect to scheduling and costing:

  • Selection of a suitable location and the associated changes and, potentially, obligations
  • Where necessary, obtaining new permits for the new location that are usually only required when starting up a business
  • Compliance with special legal provisions regarding the establishment of businesses, e.g.
  • Obtaining other permits, for example under
    • Urban planning and building law
    • Water law
    • Waste disposal law
    • Nature conservation law
    • Forest law
    • Railway law
    • Road law

Please note

With the electronic relocation serviceGerman text, the relocation of the commercial location and enterprise location for sole proprietorships can be processed easily, quickly and free of charge online via the USP.

Please note that sole proprietorships recorded in the commercial register must also inform the commercial register of any change of business address.

Further information can be found in the following section "Electronic relocation for sole proprietorships via USP" in the German version of this page. Information on the different addresses of an enterprise (commercial location, enterprise location, business address, etc.) is also available on USP.gv.at.
