Point of Single Contact in Rheinland-Pfalz
Service businesses from EU Member States seeking for support with the German administrative procedures may address the local Points of Single Contact. These state run one-stop-shops will guide them through the necessary paper work.
Operating a business often requires that you contact the relevant government authorities: Especially for business start-ups, approvals and permissions must be obtained. The Point of Single Contact (PSC) of the State of Rheinland-Pfalz offers support to businesses in all industry sectors. The PSC gives advice on the required authorizations, provides the necessary forms, and relieves you from having to address multiple authorities. Moreover, the PSC ensures that the appropriate authorities process all requests in a timely manner.

The service of the Points of Single Contact is optional. Entrepreneurs may always address themselves directly to the relevant authorities, if they prefer. Moreover, there are many institutions at the state level that may be addressed for further support.
