2 Legal form and capitalWhich legal form?
GmbH
UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Not sure yet
Our package fee is the same for a GmbH and a UG (haftungsbeschränkt). Statutory notary and register fees depend on the individual formation structure and the applicable transaction value.
Registered share capital (€)
Share capital is not a fee. It belongs to your company. We ask because statutory notary fees rise with it. Notary and register costs are included on the basis of share capital up to €50,000 — above that we quote the official costs for your case separately.
3 The notary appointmentHow would you like to complete it?
I will attend the notary in Germany myselfSaves €1,000. Suitable if you are coming to Germany anyway — for the bank, a trade fair or partner meetings.
Formation by power of attorneyWe coordinate the required power of attorney and the authentication formalities specified by the German notary. An authorised representative attends the German notary appointment on your behalf.
English-language appointment and bilingual documents are provided by our partner notary. Whether any additional translation or interpreter is legally required remains subject to the notary’s assessment.
4 Your German business addressHow would you like to handle it?
BCR address, three-year packageThe first 12 months are free, then €99 net per month for months 13–36 — €2,376 net over three years, an effective €66 per month.
BCR address, monthly€99 net per month from month one, cancellable with three months’ notice. No free year.
I already have a suitable German business addressIt must meet the requirements for registration and for reliable service of official correspondence. The package price stays the same — you simply never pay a monthly fee.
Your own address does not reduce the package price: the formation work is identical either way. What it changes is the monthly fee — you do not pay one.
Why we suggest our address. In our experience Reutlingen is an easy place to be registered — the city, the trade office and the tax office are approachable, and they answer. And for us a formation is not a transaction that ends with the register entry: it is the start of a working relationship, and we would like to keep advising and accompanying you as the company grows. Having your post, your authorities and your contact person in one place is what makes that practical.
