LEGAL SYSTEM
Legal Framework Civil Law
The German legal system is based on codified civil law, providing a clear, predictable regulatory framework with high legal certainty. Commercial law is consolidated in the Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB) and the GmbH-Gesetz, providing a stable regulatory environment that protects both investors and creditors. German commercial courts are renowned for their efficiency and rigour.
ECONOMIC CENTRE
European Industrial Engine
Germany is the world's fourth largest economy and the undisputed leader in industrial exports, technology and advanced manufacturing. Frankfurt is home to the European Central Bank and is one of the world's leading global financial centres. With direct access to 450 million consumers in the EU and an exceptional logistics infrastructure, Germany offers a strategic operating base for any business with international ambitions.
ENTITIES
Available Company Types
Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH)
The GmbH is the most commonly used corporate form in Germany for medium-sized and large companies. It requires a minimum capital of €25,000 (£21,739), offers limited liability to partners and conveys strength and credibility with banks, suppliers and customers. Ideal for commercial operations, holding companies and companies with significant turnover.
Unternehmergesellschaft (UG)
The UG (haftungsbeschränkt), known as «Mini-GmbH», allows you to set up a limited liability company with minimum capital from €1 (£0.87). It is ideal for start-ups, entrepreneurs and early-stage projects. The law requires 25% of annual profits to be set aside in reserves until €25,000 is reached, at which point it can become a GmbH.

ROUTE SHEET
Incorporation Protocol
We have standardised international bureaucratic complexity into a linear and efficient process. Our team centralises legal, tax and administrative management, allowing you to operate in your chosen jurisdiction with full assurance of regulatory compliance.
01. Compliance Validation (KYC)
Initiation of the dossier by digitally compiling basic documentation (Passport and Proof of Residence). We perform legal and regulatory validation (AML) in less than 24 hours to ensure a seamless process.
02. Incorporation and Official Registration
Drafting of articles of association and preparation of articles of association in accordance with local regulations. We manage the filing with the competent registration authority and settle the governmental fees until the Certificate of Incorporation is obtained.
03. Operational Activation and Banking
Formal delivery of the ‘Corporate Set’ with the company's legal documents. In this final phase, we execute the introductions with the selected financial institutions or EMIs to enable the company's treasury.
We were looking for legal certainty to operate in Europe, but bureaucracy was holding us back. Your team not only handled the registration, but also advised us on the optimal tax structure. We feel we have an in-house legal department.
