Frequently Asked Questions
The German government does not impose any nationality or identity restrictions on foreigners registering a German company and does not require EU residency as a nominee director.
Yes. Before transferring a German shelf company, the buyer must have their own registered address in place. The existing provider/seller will not allow the buyer to continue using the shelf company's current address, so a new registered address must be arranged before the takeover.
A ready-made German GmbH purchase covers all transfer and renaming fees, and the service requirements match a standard incorporation. Because a shelf company has no operating history, it does NOT include a VAT number, so VAT registration must be quoted separately. Registered capital is handled one of two ways: (a) company without a bank account - the client transfers EUR 12,500 into the company account (lawyer-assisted), which is then usable for company expenses; or (b) company with a built-in bank account - the client transfers the full EUR 25,000 registered capital to the partner law firm, after which the funds sit in the company bank account. Any foreign-currency handling through the firm carries a 3% fee that cannot be invoiced.
