Starting or expanding your business internationally often requires establishing a solid foundation in a trusted jurisdiction․ Germany remains one of the most attractive destinations for entrepreneurs due to its stable economy, robust legal framework, and strategic geographic location in the heart of Europe․ If you’re looking to acquire a pre-established German business entity—whether a GmbH or UG (haftungsbeschränkt)—complete with a business account and all necessary legal documentation, you’re in the right place․
Our company specializes in facilitating the corporate acquisition of clean, debt-free German legal entities tailored for foreign investors․ With over 9 years of experience and a proven track record of successfully assisting more than 50 clients in acquiring and establishing their businesses in Germany, we provide end-to-end support from initial consultation to the final notarization of the deal․
Why Choose a Pre-Established German Legal Entity?
Acquiring an existing legal entity formation in Germany offers several advantages over starting from scratch:
- Time Efficiency: Skip the lengthy company incorporation Germany process, which can take months․
- Established Reputation: A pre-existing business already has a legal history and may come with an established business account setup․
- Lower Risk: We ensure that the entities we offer are clean, debt-free, and free from legal complications․
- Flexibility: Customize the legal structure in Germany to fit your business needs, including changing the name, address, director, or scope of activity․
- Access to Local Market: Operate seamlessly within Germany’s economic framework, benefiting from its strong infrastructure and business-friendly policies․
Our Offer: GmbH and UG (haftungsbeschränkt) for Foreign Investors
We provide access to two primary forms of commercial company Germany that are ideal for foreign entrepreneurs:
GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung)
The GmbH registration is Germany’s most common form of limited liability company, offering a balance between flexibility and protection․ It requires a minimum share capital of €25,000, which can be paid in installments․ This form is ideal for those seeking a stable and recognized legal structure for their business operations․
UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
An alternative to the GmbH, the UG (haftungsbeschränkt) is a simplified version of the GmbH with a lower minimum share capital requirement of just €1․ This makes it an attractive option for startups or those with limited initial capital․ It provides the same liability protection as a GmbH but with fewer formalities․
