Register business multiple activities / designation?

I would like to register my own trade, but I don't know whether I need several trades for the things I want to do, or whether I can simply formulate the trade name so that everything is included.

I would like to have the opportunity:

- Have a website / YouTube channel where I can advertise

- Sell digital products (e.g. Games, software, eBooks, video courses (Udemy, Skillshare))

- Offer online services (e.g. A streaming service like Netflix)

- Offer digital services on sites such as Fiverr

- Do product placements / advertising / affiliate marketing

First of all, I don't plan to do all of it now, I just want to keep all options open to be active in the areas that interest me.

Do I need a separate business for each item on the list or could I summarize everything, e.g. As "selling digital products and services on the Internet"?

Only what you actually see comes into the commercial purpose. Otherwise you could write every little thing in there, but then in the end only do one activity - that doesn't work. If you want to do something else later, you can do a business registration.

Do I need a trade for each thing on the list or could I summarize everything?

You can hardly sum it up, but you can definitely pack several activities into one business registration. If necessary, on an attached sheet of paper if it is too long. As long as you do everything from one location, you basically don't need several trades.

For me, it's all going in the same direction: digital products and services as well as online marketing. A trade could be enough.

But just ask the trade office at night how they want to see it or how it should be formulated. Or make an application and see what happens. Alternatively, as a business start-up, you can also seek advice from your competent chamber of commerce.

"Selling digital products and services" would not be a problem as long as you are not offering tangible goods. Then you could still do a re-registration for the extension.

"Online marketing" is problematic because it is not clear what is being dealt with.

Thanks for the asterisk.
