Understanding German Company Structures: GmbH and UG
In Germany, the most common company structures for foreign investors are GmbH (Limited Liability Company) and UG (Entrepreneurial Company), a variant of GmbH with lower capital requirements. Our portfolio includes both types, offering flexibility for different business needs. A GmbH typically requires a minimum capital of €25,000, while a UG requires just €1. Both structures provide limited liability protection, making them attractive for investors. We ensure that our companies are clean, with no outstanding debts or legal issues, and can provide additional services such as legal address rental and access to accounting services through our partnerships. This foundation allows buyers to focus on their business strategy and growth.
The Process of Buying a Company in Germany
Acquiring a company in Germany involves several key steps, which we facilitate through our comprehensive service. Initially, we provide a selection of suitable GmbH or UG companies that match the buyer’s requirements, including the option for bank accounts and marketplace accounts. Once a company is chosen, we guide the buyer through the acquisition process, ensuring all legal requirements are met. This includes drafting a contract that outlines the terms of the sale, including guarantees and obligations, available in both German and English upon request. The transaction is finalized before a notary, where we can also provide a translator if needed. Buyers must be present in Germany for the transaction, but the location can be flexible based on mutual agreement.
