Description
💰 What does it cost to „rent out“ a master craftsman's certificate?
The term „master craftsman's certificate for hire“ is colloquial and usually refers to the fact that a master craftsman is formally made available to a company, so that it meets the requirements of the Crafts Code (HwO) fulfilled and included in the Trade register can be entered.
Typical pricing:
| Type of agreement | Monthly price (approximate) |
|---|---|
| Part-time | 500 € - 1.200 € |
| Full-time (employed) | 3,000 € - 5,000 € gross |
| Only as entry (not active) | Legally very problematic - often € 800 - € 1,500 (but high risk) |
⚠️ Important: The mere „rental“ of a master title without the actual cooperation and responsibility of the master is not allowed and can have legal consequences for both the company and the master craftsman (e.g. by the Chamber of Crafts or in the event of liability issues).
✅ Legal alternative: Hire a master craftsman
The Legally clean solution is to find a master officially hire - be it part-time or on an hourly basis. The master craftsman must actually work in the company, at least in a managerial function, e.g. as technical operations manager.
