SCHUFA and Business Credit Checks: how does it work?
The three biggest fears of most Ausländers, and frankly most Germans, are pretty easy to identify: Finanzamt, Ausländerbehörde and SCHUFA. For freelancers and the self-employed from abroad they are likely to have concerns about all three that intersect at different points in their lives and careers. Today, we are going to talk about SCHUFA, but some myths and hopefully explained an overly complex and sometimes unfair system of rating your worthiness - because yes, for freelancers and the self employed, it matters a lot!
