Registration as sole trader with the National Institute for the Social Security of the Self-employed

If you are a sole trader, you must register as a sole trader with the National Institute for the Social Security of the Self-employed.

As a sole trader, you are responsible to pay social contribution making registration mandatory before the starting of any business activity.  Consequently, you must register as a sole trader in one of the available Company Counters.  Please find the contact details here.

In return to your contributions, you’re entitled to several rights such as an insurance for bankruptcy, a health insurance and more. Beware that an additional registration with a Health Insurance Fund is needed if you want to benefit from the health insurance.

Pay attention, the category of sole traders who need to fulfil the registration requirements for insurance contribution is broad. For example also the partner as well as any ‘helper’ older than 20 years, are included in this category.
