Doing Business in Germany

Company formation

Find the appropriate legal form for your business in Germany

Whether a branch office, a private limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH), a partnership (Personengesellschaft, e.g. Kommanditgesellschaft (KG) or GmbH & Co. KG) or a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft – AG). We provide you with comprehensive tax and legal advice on the advantages and disadvantages of the various legal forms to enable you to take an informed decision.

Formation

We will guide you through the whole formation process including drafting the articles of association, accompanying the notarization, preparing the capital contribution requirements and monitoring the entry to the commercial register.

Registration process

Following the successful formation, we prepare the tax registration to receive a German tax number and VAT ID and assist you with the business registration on demand.
