Business registrationYou would like to register a business in Braunschweig. Your place of residence is Hanover. You must therefore state the location of your future business, i.e. Braunschweig.

Apply for a building permitYou would like to build a house in Wunstorf and therefore apply for a building permit. Her place of residence is currently Hanover. You must indicate the place where the house is to be built. In this case it is Wunstorf.

Food inspection


Every consumer expects flawless and safe food. First of all, everyone who is an entrepreneur in the food chain is responsible for this.
Food control authorities shall carry out risk-based, systematic controls and sampling to verify whether food business operators have implemented and comply with the requirements of food law and, where appropriate, enforce them.
If deficiencies are detected, it is the task of the official food control to ensure that they are rectified immediately and that infringements of existing legislation are punished.
Monitoring is organised in a similar way for cosmetics, tobacco products and consumer goods.
Further information can also be found on the website of the Lower Saxony State Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety (LAVES).

Who should I contact?

The responsibility lies with the veterinary and food control offices of the districts, the Hanover region, the independent cities and the Zweckverband Veterinäramt JadeWeser.
