Marketplace Applications
What is it?
Would you like to have a place at the markt ? Then apply for a marketplace permit from the municipality. This applies to a daily market, weekly market and annual market, such as a Christmas market.
How does it work?
You can request a place at the markt if you meet the following:
- You are registered with the Chamber of Commerce.
- You have legal capacity.
Permanent place or a place as a follower
The waiting time for a permanent place varies by markt and industry. Are you on a waiting list? If so, you must have it renewed every year.
Each market day, the market master assigns the day spaces per branch to followers. Day places are fixed places that become vacant when an entrepreneur with a fixed place is not there on one occasion. The municipality immediately issues the permit that allows you to register as a follower.
What to do?
You apply for the permit from the municipality. In your application, specify which markt you want to be at and what you are selling.
The permit is primarily for you personally. Do you no longer want to stand in the markt and do you know an entrepreneur who wants to stand in your spot? Then ask the municipality for permission to transfer your permit to the other entrepreneur.
What should I bring?
- a valid ID
- proof that you are insured against legal liability during your market trade
Additional information
A marketplace permit is different from a stand permit. You need a stand permit if you want a stand space in a public place in the open air. For example, on or near the public road.
