Simple bookkeeping for businesses and the self-employed

Do you understand your accounting requirements? With Seewara, we offer a simple, transparent solution for businesses and the self-employed who want to keep track of their finances.

Who counts as a commercial enterprise?
Commercial enterprises include all companies that do not fall under the category of freelancers according to §18 EStG. This includes, for example, all commercial activities that are not exempt from the accounting obligation by law. Typical commercial enterprises are, for example, trading companies, craft businesses or limited liability companies (e.g. GmbH) that are either voluntarily or legally entered in the commercial register.

Limits for simple bookkeeping
Certain limits apply to commercial enterprises that are not required to keep accounts:

  • Turnover limit: 800,000 euros
  • Profit limit: 80,000 euros
    If your business does not exceed these limits, you can use the simplified income statement (EÜR) instead of complex double-entry bookkeeping.

Self-employed persons according to Section 18 EStG
Self-employed persons who work in one of the catalogue professions are also affected by special regulations. The catalogue professions include, among others:

  • Artistic activities
  • Scientific activities
  • Teaching and writing activities
  • Educational activities
    These professions are mentioned in the exhaustive list of §18 EStG and are considered to be self-employed regardless of the level of income.

Whether you are a tradesperson or self-employed – with our simple accounting solution, you can keep track of everything and save yourself unnecessary bureaucracy. Get in touch with us to customise your bookkeeping to your needs!

What do you actually do as a Butcher?

A butcher, also known as a butcher, is a professional who specialises in the processing of meat and the production of meat products. Butchers work in various sectors, including butcher’s shops, meat processing plants, supermarkets and catering establishments. Their tasks include both manual work and advising customers. Here are the main tasks and activities of a butcher:

Main tasks of a butcher

  1. Meat processing: Butchers cut animals (such as cattle, pigs, lambs or poultry) into different cuts of meat and cut them according to customer requirements. They master the various techniques of cutting and finishing.
  2. Production of meat products: You will produce various meat products, including sausage, ham, bacon and other specialities. This includes mixing ingredients, seasoning, stuffing sausage casings and smoking.

  4. Customer advice: In a butcher’s shop, butchers advise customers on the different types of meat, preparation options and the use of meat products. They give tips on optimal storage and preparation.
  5. Product presentation: They are responsible for the attractive presentation of meat products in the sales counter in order to appeal to customers and promote sales.
  6. Hygiene and cleanliness: Butchers maintain high standards of hygiene to ensure food safety. This includes cleaning work surfaces, tools and machines as well as the correct storage of meat products.
  7. Stock management: They monitor stock levels of meat and meat products, manage the ordering of raw materials and plan production.
  8. Compliance with regulations: Butchers adhere to legal regulations and standards relating to food hygiene, animal welfare and processing.
  9. Further training: To keep up to date with the latest technologies and trends in meat processing, butchers regularly take part in training and further education programmes.
