Understanding GmbH and UG: Ideal Corporate Forms for Foreign Investors

Both structures offer limited liability protection and flexibility in terms of management and ownership. Our portfolio includes a range of GmbH and UG companies that are ready for immediate acquisition, complete with clean financial records and no outstanding liabilities.
The GmbH is a popular choice among foreign investors due to its credibility and flexibility. It requires a minimum capital of €25,000, although only €12,500 needs to be paid upfront.
