A Shelf GmbH is a limited liability company founded on "stock / stockpile", which has been registered in the commercial register and has not yet started any economic activity. The Shelf GmbHs established by Youco24 can be taken over immediately by an acquirer without having to go through the entire establishment process themselves.

As a rule, our shelf GmbHs do not yet have a tax number because they are not registered by the tax authorities. After the acquisition, you register the company with the relevant tax office for the first time, apply for a tax number and, if applicable, a VAT ID. The tax number is issued by the tax office where the company is managed. In Berlin, different tax offices are responsible, which then reassign an existing tax number if necessary. With the start of the commercial activity, the Advance sales tax return ...to be delivered. 

We only sell German Ready Made Shelf Companies (Shelf GmbH), i.e. companies which, unlike the so-called shell companyhave never been economically active.

GmbH shell companies are burdened with risks due to their previous burdens from previous activities. Therefore we do not sell shell companies and do not buy such companies. Our shelf companies are guaranteed to be free of liabilities to third parties.

If you need a GmbH quickly and reliably, the acquisition of a Shelf GmbH is the better way compared to founding your own new company:

Since a Shelf GmbH is already registered in the commercial register, it can be taken over at any time and become active immediately. A Shelf GmbH represents a "turnkey" solution, i.e. you alone determine the date on which you want to start with the company

The risk of delays in the establishment procedure is eliminated

Due to the fully paid up share capital, our Shelf limited companies offer you protection from personal liability from the outset. Potential personal liability of shareholders or directors due to breach of capital raising rules is excluded by using a Shelf company

Last but not least: By leaving the foundation to us, you have more time to concentrate on the actual issues of your business

In Cologne and Frankfurt am Main there is the possibility that we personally attend the notary appointments for the notarization of Shelf GmbH for a small fee upon request.

Incidentally, we will be represented at the appointment by proxy by a person whom you have selected and named to us. This can also be yourself.

The reservation of Shelf GmbH is free of charge. There are also no costs for an extension of the reservation period.

We take over the entire formation costs and costs of ongoing administration until the company is sold - not the shelf company, as is the case with some competitors.

We guarantee that the share capital of the company is fully paid up and is available undiminished on the account of the company at the time of purchase. We will prove this to you in the notary appointment through a current balance confirmation from the bank.
