The path to your own company

Comprehensive preparation is crucial for the future success of your company. Certain steps in this process are particularly important, especially if you are a shareholder or managing director:

  1. Choosing the right legal form: Choosing the right legal form lays the foundation for your company's success. It should be carefully considered and tailored to your individual needs and goals.

  2. Determination of the company headquarters and company name: A suitable company headquarters and an appealing company name are crucial to the success of your business. When choosing a name, it is advisable to seek legal advice to ensure that no name or trademark infringements occur.

  3. Solid financing and business plan: A solid financial foundation is essential. Create a well-thought-out business plan that encompasses your business idea, goals, financing options, strategies, and activities.

  4. Articles of association and managing director contract: Regardless of the legal form you choose, you must draft and conclude a suitable partnership agreement and a management contract. The partnership agreement must then be notarized.
  5. Opening a business account and concluding contracts: Once the legal foundations are in place, you can open a business account and draw up and conclude the necessary contracts for your company.


Carefully following these steps is crucial for a successful start in the world of business formation. We are happy to support you in this process and ensure that you are well-equipped on your journey to starting your own business.
