Frequently asked questions about shelf-GmbH & Co. KGs

  • What is a shelf-GmbH & Co. KG?

    A shelf-GmbH & Co. KG is a limited partnership in which the GmbH acts as the general partner with unlimited liability. The company is already established, registered in the Commercial Register, and has not been economically active, allowing for a quick start.

  • Do your shelf GmbH & Co. KGs have a tax number?

    Our shelf-GmbH & Co. Kgs usually do not have a tax number, as they have not been registered with the tax authorities. After the acquisition, you will need to register the company with the responsible tax office, apply for a tax number, and if necessary, a VAT ID. The tax number is issued by the tax office where the company is managed. In Berlin, different tax offices are responsible, and they may issue a new tax number if one already exists. With the commencement of business activities, the VAT pre-registration must also be submitted. 

  • Is the notary for the notarization of the shelf-GmbH & Co. Kg freely selectable?

    Yes, you can choose your own notary. It can be located anywhere in Germany. If you would like a recommendation or if you prefer us to handle the contact with the notary, please feel free to get in touch with us.

  • Do you attend the notarization appointment in person?

    In Frankfurt am Main, we offer the option to attend the notarization appointments for the shelf GmbH in person for a small fee, if desired.

    Otherwise, we are represented at the appointment by an authorized person, whom you can choose and nominate. This person can also be you.

  • Is the reservation of a shelf company free of charge?

    The reservation of the shelf-GmbH & Co. KG is free of charge. There are no costs associated with extending the reservation period either.
