How it works

Incorporated in three steps.

No German required. No in-person appointments. Answer a few questions — we handle everything else.

01

Tell us about your company

Answer a short questionnaire in English — shareholders, capital, purpose. We turn it into notary-ready documents within 24 hours.

02

We coordinate the notary

We prepare your GmbH or UG founding deed (Gründungsurkunde), book a vetted German notary, and handle the Handelsregister filing.

03

Start trading

Your Handelsregisternummer arrives. Business address, tax registration, and compliance go live on autopilot from day one.

What's included

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

One flat fee. Statutory notary and Handelsregister costs shown before you pay.

GmbH or UG deed preparation

Gründungsurkunde drafted in German and reviewed by our in-house team — ready for the notary appointment.

Notary coordination

We find and book a vetted German notary near you or remotely, prepare all required documents, and join the call.

Handelsregister filing

We submit your registration to the commercial register and track it through to approval — no chasing required.

Business address

A registered German business address, included for the first year. Your address appears on the Handelsregister.

Tax & VAT registration

Full pkg

Finanzamt registration and VAT number filed on your behalf — included in the full package.

Bank account assistance

Full pkg

Introductions to German-compatible business banking partners, with pre-filled applications.

After formation

Formation is day one. We stay for what’s next.

Accounting & bookkeeping

Ongoing transaction recording and reconciliation, handled monthly. No spreadsheets, no chasing receipts.

Tax returns & filings

VAT, annual tax return, and trade tax registration — filed on time, every time. We handle the deadlines.

Payroll

Employee registration, monthly payroll processing, and payslips — no manual admin, no German payroll software.

Compliance calendar

Every deadline — VAT filings, annual statements, Transparenzregister — tracked in your dashboard. Nothing missed.

Already incorporated elsewhere? Bring your company onto Foundeur and get all of this from day one.
