What you should know

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.

Less bureaucracy, more freedom
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 Trade technician?

A trade technician is a professional who works in the trade sector and contributes both technical and business knowledge. The exact role and duties of a retail technician can vary depending on the industry, company size and specific area of work. Here are some of the typical duties of a retail technician:

  1. Procurement of goods: Trade technicians are responsible for planning and organising the purchase of goods. They analyse the market, evaluate suppliers and negotiate prices and conditions.
  2. Stock management: They monitor stock levels, plan reorders and ensure that the availability of goods is optimised to avoid shortages or overstocks.
  3. Sales and customer advice: Trade technicians are often involved in sales, advising customers, preparing quotations and maintaining customer relations.
  4. Market research: They analyse market trends, competitive activity and customer needs to make informed decisions and adapt sales strategies.
  5. Marketing: Trade technicians may also be involved in developing and implementing marketing strategies to promote products and services.
  6. Technical consulting: In technical trading companies, trade technicians provide technical information about products and their application and help customers with technical questions.
  7. Training: They may also provide training to customers or employees to increase product knowledge and explain the use of products.
  8. Quality control: Trade technicians are often responsible for checking the quality of goods to ensure that products meet standards.
  9. Financial management: They oversee the financial aspects of trading, including preparing budgets, calculations and controlling costs.
  10. Internal co-operation: Trade technicians work closely with other departments, such as logistics, purchasing and sales, to ensure the smooth running of the company.

Overall, the work of a retail technician aims to increase the efficiency and success of the retail company by integrating both technical and business aspects into daily practice.
