In prepa­ra­tion for the for­ma­tion of the GmbH, I will send you a short ques­tion­aire in which you pro­vide me with the essen­tial infor­ma­tion about the GmbH (share­hold­ers, com­pa­ny name, loca­tion of the reg­is­tered office, object, amount of the share cap­i­tal, names of the man­ag­ing direc­tors and their pow­ers of rep­re­sen­ta­tion). On the basis of this infor­ma­tion, I will draft the deed of incor­po­ra­tion includ­ing the arti­cles of asso­ci­a­tion for the GmbH. I will send you this draft for review and make an appoint­ment with you. At the appoint­ment for the for­ma­tion of the GmbH, I will read the for­ma­tion deed and the arti­cles of asso­ci­a­tion to you. In addi­tion, the man­ag­ing direc­tor signs the com­mer­cial reg­is­ter appli­ca­tion and a list of share­hold­ers. After the nota­riza­tion, you will receive a cer­ti­fied copy of the deed of incor­po­ra­tion, with which you will go to a bank and open an account for the GmbH. You pay the min­i­mum cap­i­tal into this account and send me a bank state­ment. As soon as I receive the account state­ment, I reg­is­ter the for­ma­tion of the GmbH with the Com­mer­cial Reg­is­ter. After a few days, I should usu­al­ly receive the reg­is­tra­tion notice from the Com­mer­cial Reg­is­ter. I will for­ward this to you for your infor­ma­tion. Only from this point on you should start doing busi­ness through the GmbH.
As a notary, I am oblig­ed to send a copy of the for­ma­tion of the GmbH to the respon­si­ble tax office. The tax office will then send you a reg­is­tra­tion form and assign you a tax num­ber, which you will need to issue invoic­es.
The reg­is­tra­tion of the GmbH at the trade office and the IHK must be ini­ti­at­ed by you. You will receive the cor­re­spond­ing reg­is­tra­tion forms there.
