Remote-Gründung für Ansässige und Nichtansässige
Preparation is remote, but a GmbH/UG generally includes notarisation, commercial-register filing and a capital/bank step.
Für Ansässige
- A resident completes the notarial and banking steps with local documents and a management address.
- Trade registration, tax number, transparency register and payroll/VAT are added according to the activity.
Für Nichtansässige
- A non-resident may own and manage the company, but remote notarisation/POA depends on the documents, issuing country and notary.
- Apostille, certified translation, German business address and the capital account are planned before signing.
Wichtig: Das Recht eines Nichtansässigen, Eigentümer des Unternehmens zu sein, berechtigt nicht automatisch dazu, in diesem Land zu leben, zu arbeiten oder das Unternehmen von dort aus zu führen. Einwanderungsstatus, Arbeitserlaubnis, wirtschaftliche Substanz, Ort der tatsächlichen Geschäftsleitung und Steueransässigkeit werden gesondert geprüft.
GRENZEN DES REMOTE-VERFAHRENS
- A fully online route without a notary cannot be promised; the selected notary confirms the permitted channel.
Vorbereitung auf KYC/KYB und Bank-Onboarding
VORBEREITUNG / EINHEITLICHE UNTERLAGEN
Wir umgehen keine Compliance-Prüfungen. Wir bereiten im Voraus einheitliche Unterlagen vor, damit die Prüfung mit weniger vermeidbaren Rückfragen und doppelten Uploads ablaufen kann.
Vorprüfung
- We pre-check passports, proof of address, the UBO chart, source of funds/source of wealth and translations before filing with the registrar or bank.
- We reconcile names, addresses, dates, ownership and signatures across forms to reduce repeat KYC/KYB requests and document returns.
- We prepare a clear description of the activity, markets, counterparties, expected turnover and economic link to the selected GEO.
Bankfähige Unterlagen
- Before applying, we match the company profile to a bank or EMI's eligibility criteria instead of sending the same pack to every provider.
- We assemble one bank-ready data room covering corporate documents, UBO/KYC, website, contracts, invoices, source of funds and transaction flow.
- We coordinate responses to compliance questions and help close legitimate requests quickly. Approval and timing always remain with the bank/EMI.
Die Bearbeitungsdauer hängt von der Vollständigkeit der Daten, dem Geschäftsrisiko und der Auslastung des Anbieters ab. CrystalCore kann weder ein Konto noch eine Entscheidungsfrist oder die Genehmigung durch eine bestimmte Bank bzw. ein bestimmtes EMI garantieren.
Für wen geeignet
- An operating company with German customers, employees or an office.
- E-commerce, distribution and industrial B2B with a documented supply chain.
- Startups suited to an initial UG or a GmbH for a stronger capital profile.
Wichtigste Gesellschaftsformen
- GmbH, the standard limited-liability company with minimum share capital of €25,000.
- UG (haftungsbeschränkt), an entrepreneurial company starting at €1 capital and subject to reserve building towards GmbH capital.
- An Aktiengesellschaft (AG), a joint-stock company for larger and potentially public structures with more formal governance.
- GmbH & Co. KG and Kommanditgesellschaft (KG), limited partnerships including a structure with a GmbH as general partner.
- An OHG or registered GbR, partnership structures whose liability and registration regime differ from a GmbH.
- A Zweigniederlassung, the German branch of a foreign company for which the head office retains liability.
Gesellschafter, Geschäftsführung und Adresse
- One or more shareholders; a managing director must be a legally capable natural person without an applicable disqualification.
- The articles and formation are notarised by a German notary; the company becomes a GmbH/UG upon entry in the Commercial Register.
- The registered office stated in the articles must be in Germany, together with an effective business address for service.
- For a GmbH, the statutory portion of capital must be paid before registration; a UG pays its cash capital in full.
Dokumente und KYC
- A passport or other acceptable ID for every founder, director and ultimate beneficial owner (UBO).
- Proof of residential address, usually issued within the previous three months; the reviewing party sets the exact validity period.
- A transparent ownership chart through to natural persons and, for a corporate founder, its registry documents and authorised resolutions.
- A description of the product, markets, counterparties, expected turnover, source of funds and source of wealth, supported by evidence.
- Notarial articles, shareholder list, managing-director appointment and Commercial Register application.
- Evidence of capital, German business address, business purpose and data for trade/tax registration.
- For foreign shareholders, registry extracts, authorities, apostille/legalisation and certified translations as required by the notary.
Gründungsablauf
- Review the form, capital, business purpose, trade permits and cross-border tax position.
- Coordinate the name with the IHK where appropriate, the address and draft notarial documents.
- Complete notarisation, arrange the capital account/contribution and file with the Commercial Register.
- After registration, complete trade registration, the tax questionnaire, transparency-register and bank/operations setup.
Voraussichtlicher Zeitrahmen
In der Regel 2–6 Wochen ab Bereitschaft der Unterlagen. Notar, Prüfung ausländischer Dokumente, Kapitalkonto, Registergericht, Steuernummer und branchenspezifische Genehmigungen beeinflussen die Dauer.
Steuerübersicht
- Körperschaftsteuer, solidarity surcharge and municipal Gewerbesteuer generally apply; the effective burden depends on the municipality and facts.
- VAT, payroll, withholding, transfer pricing and permanent-establishment questions require separate analysis.
- A German Steuerberater must confirm rates and treaty position; this page provides only a general outline.
Allgemeiner Überblick, keine individuelle Steuer- oder Rechtsberatung. Die Vorschriften werden vor der Einreichung erneut geprüft.
Bank- und Zahlungs-Onboarding
- For capital and operating accounts, the bank reviews notarial documents, UBOs, source of funds, German nexus, business plan and counterparties.
- Non-resident directors/owners may face video identification, apostilled documents or an in-person visit; approval is not guaranteed.
Jährliche Pflichten
- Double-entry bookkeeping, annual financial statements and disclosure/deposit with the Company Register by the applicable deadline.
- Corporate, trade, VAT and payroll returns as applicable.
- Maintenance of the shareholder list, transparency-register data, licences and corporate resolutions.
Einschränkungen und Risiken
- A minimally capitalised UG may be commercially inconvenient and increases undercapitalisation risk.
- Trading before Commercial Register entry and improper pre-incorporation commitments can create personal liability.
- Substance, trade-permit and cross-border-management requirements are assessed from the actual model, not merely the address.
Umfang der Unterstützung
- GmbH/UG comparison and coordination of the address, notary and bilingual registration data.
- Corporate pack, capital/registry coordination and Steuerberater hand-off.
- KYB preparation and a compliance roadmap; notary, court, tax-authority and bank decisions remain independent.
