Briefly Explained
GmbH or UG – which legal form fits?
The GmbH is the classic option with share capital of €25,000 (half to be paid in), while the UG (limited liability) is the entry-level variant starting from €1 with a savings obligation. GbR, oHG, KG or GmbH & Co. KG are also worth considering. We advise on the right legal form – with legal, liability and tax considerations in mind.
Do I need a notary for a GmbH formation?
Yes – the articles of association and registration filing of a GmbH or UG must be notarised or certified. With us, legal drafting and notarial certification come from a single source: Prof. Dr. Martin is both a lawyer and notary with his office in Limburg.
What to do in a dispute among shareholders?
A shareholder dispute can quickly endanger the business. What matters is a sober analysis of the articles of association and resolution situation, as well as swift, considered action – from the shareholders' meeting to challenging resolutions to exclusion or withdrawal. We represent shareholders and companies out of court and in court.
Where will my company be registered?
For Limburg and the surrounding area, the Amtsgericht Limburg an der Lahn maintains the commercial register. Registrations are submitted electronically via the notary – with us, directly from the firm.
