Business entity types in Germany

German GMBH- GmbH-Private Limited Liability Company can be combined in Germany with at least one investor with the lowest share capital of 25,000 EUR. One point to consider is that the shares of the German GMBH cannot be moved to the public nor registered at the Stock Market.

AG German joint stock company-  German AG needs a share capital of minimum 50,000 EUR. The members are only accountable up to the amount they have contributed to the capital, just like in the case of the joint stock companies. For this business type, the accounts must be assessed by a legal auditor.

German Limited Partnership- this is formed by two types of partners, the first partners, who must bring input to the entity’s capital and has limited liability to the amount of that input and the general partners who don’t essentially make an involvement to the entity’s capital but who have unlimited liability for the entity’s arrears and who can entitlement profits. The general partners are those who make decisions in the German limited partnership while the other partners cannot contribute in any of the management decisions.

Sole trader- This formed by an individual with his own personal resources and no protection from liability in case the entity is fronting bankruptcy.

Branch- It is popular methods of entering the German market and many foreign investors choose it as the first step in their business path. 

Companies entering Germany must make an assumption whether to use their own resources or to use a Global Employment Organization (GEO) to handle payroll and occupation responsibilities. Generally, a GEO solution would be used where a company is looking to set an office fast with a manageable cost.
