Service · Lifecycle & Digital
Your company, set up right – from day one.
Most formation mistakes happen before registration: the wrong legal form, no holding in the picture, receipts in a shoebox. We guide you from the first idea to the commercial register – with a structure that still fits five years from now.
Tax-optimal legal form- Holding & exit planned in
- Digital from day one
Sound familiar?
Starting a company is easy – starting it right isn't.
This is what we see time and again when the structure isn't thought through before the first invoice:
You're not sure which legal form fits you.
GmbH, UG, GmbH & Co. KG – or with a holding on top? The wrong choice costs you five figures later in liability, tax and exit.
The holding only occurs to you after formation.
Hold the shares privately first and add a holding on top later, and you trigger lock-up periods and taxes that were entirely avoidable.
Notary, bank and tax office aren't pulling together.
Appointments slip, the business account is missing, the tax number doesn't arrive – and your launch is delayed by weeks.
The tax registration questionnaire overwhelms you.
One wrong box on cash vs. accrual taxation, small-business status or filing frequency can lock you in for years.
Your bookkeeping starts in chaos.
Receipts in a shoebox, Excel lists, no system – and your first annual accounts turn into an expensive backward clean-up.
No one is thinking about your future exit.
Without an eye on sale or succession, you build a structure that gets fully taxed on a sale instead of qualifying for relief.
What we handle for you
From the idea to registration.
One point of contact, one roadmap – we coordinate every step through to your first clean entry.
Formation & legal-form advice
We weigh GmbH, UG, GmbH & Co. KG and holding against each other – by liability, tax burden, capital needs and your goals.
Holding structure from the start
Where it makes sense, we set you up with a holding on top from day one – so later profits are taxed at roughly 1.54% instead of up to 26.4% privately.
Notary & commercial register coordination
We build the roadmap, align the articles of association and appointments with the notary, and see the entry in the commercial register through.
Tax registration
Tax registration questionnaire, tax number, VAT ID, choice of cash vs. accrual taxation and filing frequency – done correctly from the outset.
Digital bookkeeping from day one
We set up DATEV Unternehmen online, receipt upload via app and your account logic – no paper, no catching up later.
Capital, account & funding
We support your share-capital deposit and business-account opening and check start-up funding as well as low-value-asset and IAB (investment deduction) allowances for your first investment.
What changes for you
A start that doesn't get expensive later.
You get it right once – instead of paying to rebuild it in two years.
The legal form fits – provably.
You start with the structure that's most favourable for your case, not the one the notary happens to suggest.
Your profits stay in the system.
With a holding in front, you reinvest from capital taxed at roughly 1.54% instead of from privately fully taxed distributions.
The launch runs without delay.
Notary, bank and tax office mesh together – you're up and running fast instead of blocked for weeks.
Your numbers are in place from the first invoice.
Digital bookkeeping, monthly management accounts (BWA) and clear metrics – you run your company watching the numbers, not flying blind.
Your future exit is prepared.
The structure is built so that a share sale qualifies for relief – rather than being fully taxed.
You have a sparring partner.
Instead of forms, you get someone who thinks ahead with you – at every turning point from formation to growth.
A personal note from Karsten Guhr
The most expensive mistakes a GmbH ever makes are made before registration. I set up your formation so that legal form, holding and bookkeeping fit together from day one – so that five years from now you're not rebuilding, just growing.
