I have been streaming on Twitch for a long time and I can now become an affiliate. I'm only 14, however my parents would provide me with their Pay Pal account. Now what I'm asking myself is: do I have to register a business as a small streamer or is this unnecessary? Please reply, thank you.
Yes you have to.
At 14 you are not yet able to do a business.
And just for you for info:
All money that goes into your parents' PayPal account belongs to your parents.
Business would then run over my parents. But they want that less
Your parents can't register a trade "for you". This is not legally possible.
With the approval of the family court, a minor can open a business in accordance with §112 BGB.
In this case, he would be declared fully capable of business for all purposes and could also have his own PayPal business account.
