Description
The German Limited Liability Company (GmbH) is the most frequently used legal entity in German company law. There are approximately 550,000 such companies with 50,000 new GmbHs registered every year. For foreign companies and private sectors wishing to do business in Germany in a form other than a sales agency or registered office, the formation of a GmbH is by far the most common method. The rules governing its formation and the conduct of its legal officers are very complicated and require strict adherence if the company is to be successful. This guide to GmbH, covers all aspects of the GmbH, it provides a detailed explanation of the workings of the GmbH and offers the reader information on opportunities for foreign investors, highlighting the possible pitfalls that may be encountered. The text is structured around the most commonly asked questions, such as: under what conditions is a shareholder's loan to the company regarded as a non-repayable capital contribution?; When does the managing director run the risk of criminal charges?; And what form of structure between a US/UK parent and a German subsidiary GmbH is preferred?
The answers to these questions are provided with the use of practical points and case studies.
