Foundation of a Company

Every start-up is an adventure, even if you don’t start out in a garage like so many successful companies.

You start with just a few employees or alone, a small office or a workstation in an office center, spend more time on acquisition than on art objects for the executive office – and that’s a good thing. There are many other points to consider, even from a purely legal perspective. The prerequisite for starting a business is the establishment of a company or a permanent establishment or branch. This applies just as much to German start-ups as it does to foreign companies that want to gain a foothold in Germany or Europe.

Registration with the aim of obtaining an entry in the commercial register and a tax number is sometimes particularly difficult for the latter. Careful attention must be paid at the outset. Any mistakes that are avoided here do not need to be rectified later when the business is doing well. When a tax audit takes place years later, there can sometimes be nasty surprises.
Qualified advice at the start is therefore essential.
