Company formation

A competence team for your formation project

Do you have a promising business idea and want to start a company? Or have you already started one and are now facing new tax and legal questions? We help you clarify important issues early on, so that you can concentrate on building and developing your company.

Important decisions need to be made even before formation. In addition to tax matters, these include the choice of legal form, the structuring of shareholdings and the planning of your financing. We help you keep track of the key points and structure the next steps. Within the scope of the agreed engagement, we also help you keep an eye on tax obligations and deadlines.

The legal form affects, among other things, liability, decision-making structures, financing options and the tax treatment of your company. Which solution is right depends on your plans and your personal situation. Liability issues, financing, tax consequences, personal financial security and retirement provision may, for example, play a role in the decision.

Legal questions can also arise beyond the legal form, for example in company, employment, trade mark, copyright or competition law. We put together a team for your formation project that matches your advisory needs. Lawyers, tax advisers and certified public accountants each contribute their own perspectives.

Where necessary, we also coordinate with other parties involved and support you, for example, with notarisations, financing matters and required permits.
