Private company formation · Berlin-Charlottenburg

A prestigious Berlin address,
and the company to match.

We provide the legally serviceable Charlottenburg address and support your company formation — connecting you with a notary and banking partners. Address, company and business account become possible from a single point of contact. With Diamond, we handle everything we legally can on your behalf.

€200/ month + VAT
Setup from €1,000 · 12-month minimum
A concierge for the paperwork

We navigate the German bureaucracy — notary, commercial register and trade office — so founders abroad can incorporate without the friction.

01 — Who this is for

International founders setting up in Germany

You are based outside Germany and need a GmbH or UG — for a product, a holding, or a professional European presence. The process is opaque, the paperwork is in German, and the address comes first.

We provide the registered Berlin address and coordinate the formation end to end. Banking and tax remain yours to arrange; we point you to the right partners.

Everything in one service

What VIP includes

Every plan includes the same registered address, mail, phone and post-formation services. The difference is how much of the formation we handle for you. Banking and tax remain your own arrangements — we are an address and formation-coordination service, not a law firm, bank or tax advisor.

  • Commercial register (Handelsregister) filing at Amtsgericht Charlottenburg prepared

Two ways to work with us

Choose your plan

Both plans share the same €200/month service — registered address, mail, scan, Berlin 030 number and call answering. They differ only in how much of the formation we take off your hands.

  • Everything in Gold, fully managed
  • We prepare the full formation file and liaise with the notary directly

Start with Diamond

Scope note: we coordinate notary, register and trade-office processes and, under Diamond, represent you by power of attorney where the law allows. Some acts remain yours by law — e.g. a director's commercial-register signature must be notarially certified (§ 12 HGB), which you can arrange at a German consulate or a notary abroad. We do not provide legal or tax advice (RDG); bespoke articles and structuring are handled by a notary or advisor.

Honest expectations

Important to know

We keep our scope clear so every promise is one we can actually keep. Banking and notary requirements depend on your nationality — here is the honest picture.

Bank account opening
  • EU founders: Straightforward. Several EU business banks open accounts fully remotely — no German address or residence required.
  • US founders: Usually eligible — at least one major provider explicitly accepts US citizens for EU companies.
  • Other non-EU founders: Depends on your country of residence. Approval is always the bank's own decision and cannot be guaranteed.
  • On engagement you receive current, concrete provider recommendations. We are not a bank and receive no commission.
Notary & formation
  • EU/EEA citizens with eID: Fully remote formation is possible via the Bundesnotarkammer video system (available since 2022, DiRUG).
  • Non-EU citizens: Remote video notarisation is not available. You'll need a personal appearance (a tourist visa is sufficient) or a notarised power of attorney with apostille.
  • The notary appointment is conducted in German by law (§ 5 BeurkG). We coordinate the appointment; a sworn interpreter is your responsibility if needed.
  • Share capital is deposited before the register filing — UG from €1; GmbH €25,000, of which at least €12,500 paid in.
  • After incorporation, beneficial owners must be reported to the Transparency Register (Transparenzregister).
  • A German registered address is a legal prerequisite for incorporation in every case (§ 8 Abs. 4 GmbHG) — that's what we provide.

The process

From first step to
fully operational.

1
Book your personal address

Reserve your registered Berlin address and choose your plan. You receive a document that leads you through everything you need to know — entity choice, timeline and the steps ahead.

2
KYC & documents

ID verification via video (legally required under the GwG). We collect what the notary needs.

3
Notary & formation

We coordinate the notary appointment. Can be done remotely via EU eID or notarised power of attorney.

4
Address active

Your Berlin address is live within 24 h of KYC completion — ready for HR, Impressum, and clients.

5
Ongoing address service

Mail, scan, and Berlin phone number active. You're registered and operational. Bank and tax are your next steps — see what to expect ↑

Week 1

Consultation, KYC & document preparation

We collect passport copies, shareholder list, company name candidates. Draft articles of association (Musterprotokoll) for your review.

Week 2–4

Notary appointment & filing

Share capital deposited, notarised deed signed, and the register application submitted via the notary to Amtsgericht Charlottenburg.

Week 4–8

Commercial register entry

HR number issued and the company officially incorporated — processing time depends on the register court's current workload. Address updated from i.G. to full registration.

From week 8

Fully registered — address operational

Address active without i.G. designation. Mail, scan, and phone service running. For bank and tax setup, we provide contact recommendations on request.

Timelines are indicative. Actual duration depends on the register court's workload, the completeness of your documents, and — for non-EU founders — apostille and power-of-attorney logistics.

02 — Why the address matters

A prestigious seat,
legally sound.

A Charlottenburg business address that is commercial-register and Impressum eligible — no c/o, fully deliverable. Mail intake and same-day scans, a Berlin 030 number with bilingual call answering, and a business-address confirmation for the register, tax office and your bank.
