The competent authority has banned you from practising your trade due to unreliability. If you wish to operate your trade again, you must submit an application for re-authorisation. After one year, or earlier if there are special reasons, the competent authority may authorise the resumption of your trade .
The prerequisite is that you can prove to the competent authority that the reasons that led to your trade being prohibited no longer exist. Based on your behaviour in the meantime, the competent authority must also be able to predict that you will carry out your trade properly in the future.
As a rule, re-authorisation can only be granted 1 year after the prohibition has been implemented. This period is prescribed by law and is intended to clarify to the authorities that the reasons for unreliability have ceased to exist by changing your lifestyle. For special reasons - such as economic or structural policy reasons - it may be possible to be authorised to exercise the trade again earlier in exceptional cases. This applies, for example, if the resumption of the trade creates additional jobs or enables the creditors of your business to reduce their debts by generating income in your business to repay debts.
The mere cessation of the circumstances justifying unreliability is not sufficient to shorten the one-year period.
Note:
If you resume your activity after being re-authorised, you must at least submit a business registration to the competent authority at the same time. The resumption is to be treated as a new start of trading.
If you have previously had a licence revoked due to unreliability, which is legally required for the exercise of the trade, you must apply for a new licence before resuming your commercial activity requiring a licence. The same applies if a new licence requirement has been introduced in the meantime.
