Starting a for-profit business in Germany involves navigating specific legal frameworks, particularly the GmbH (limited liability company) and AG (joint stock company). A GmbH is preferred due to its limitation on personal liability for shareholders, needing a minimum capital of €25,000, while allowing a single founder. The structure requires appointing a Managing Director to represent the company legally. Alternatively, an entrepreneur can start with an Unternehmergesellschaft for just €1, although these are meant to transition into a GmbH eventually by saving a portion of profits.
In Germany, starting a for-profit business involves legal steps; the most common company types are GmbH and AG, each with distinct characteristics and requirements.
A GmbH, a limited liability company, protects shareholders from personal liability, requires a Managing Director, and has specific capital and documentation requirements.
