Registering a catering business in Luxembourg

The first step to set up a catering company in Luxembourg is to choose a location for the business. It should be noted that the Luxembourg legislation does not allow for the business owner to choose an address as a registered seat of the company and operate the catering business from another place.

Then the Luxembourg food establishment must register with the Food Safety Unit in the city it will operate.
