Is my company affected by the BFSG?

If you offer products or services online to consumers (B2C), you are usually affected. The most important relief concerns micro-enterprises providing services: those with fewer than ten employees and annual turnover or balance sheet total of no more than two million euros may be exempt. Note: for products this exemption does not apply.

Pure B2B offerings fall outside the BFSG. It gets tricky with hybrid cases, for example a shop selling to both businesses and consumers, or platforms with consumer-relevant functions. A careful case-by-case assessment pays off here.

We clarify whether you are affected together with you in a free initial consultation and assess it against the criteria on the BFSG requirements page. This avoids both unnecessary effort and a costly misjudgment.
