Common Questions

Germany Incorporation FAQs for United States-Based Founders

Can a person or company from United States own 100% of a GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) in Germany?

In almost all cases, yes — Germany permits 1 shareholder, with no restriction based on the founder's country of origin, including United States.

Do I need to travel from United States to Germany to incorporate?

No, the entire process is handled remotely. We prepare, notarise or apostille (where required), and file all documents with the Handelsregister (Commercial Register) & local Trade Office on your behalf.

How long does GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) registration in Germany take when applying from United States?

Typical turnaround is 4–6 weeks (incl. notarisation), though courier time for notarised documents from United States can add a few extra days depending on your location.

What tax rate will my Germany company pay?

Germany applies ~30% combined corporate + trade tax (Körperschaftsteuer + Gewerbesteuer). We review your structure to confirm the exact liability and identify any relief available under a tax treaty between Germany and United States.

Can profits be repatriated from Germany back to United States?

Yes, subject to Germany's standard dividend distribution rules. Where a double tax treaty exists between Germany and United States, we structure repatriation to take advantage of any available relief.
