    5.In order to process the relevant documents at a notary office, the holder of the company needs to go to Germany to process the time to register a German company: 30-60 working days Preparation stage for registering a German company First option:

    Establishment by foreign mandate (i.e. the applicant entrusts our German lawyer to register the company) • Ask a German notary or lawyer to prepare a draft power of attorney.

    A certified extract of the national business license or other documents proving the legal existence of the Chinese investor.

    The legal representative of the Chinese company issues a power of attorney.

    The legal representative and the scope of his authority are required to be proven on an extract from the business license or other documents in the home country.

    A notarial deed with a power of attorney or other document signed by a notary public.

    If required, the notarial deed can also be issued by a notary public in China.

    Second option: The legal representative of the Chinese company will come to Germany in person to establish itself • Prepare the necessary documents.

    Apply for a business visa.

    The client must first obtain permission from the German side to register the company before the Immigration Department may issue a visa, but there is no guarantee that the approval will be granted, because the company has not yet been registered, and the Immigration Department can refuse the visa on this ground.

    Because German company registration has a very cumbersome procedure and it is necessary to appoint a professional lawyer, it is not helpful to apply for a company in person in Germany.

    To set up a German company remotely, all the documents you need to prepare include: the articles of association of the newly established company in Germany, the personal and corporate details of the shareholders of the newly established company in Germany, and if the shareholders are a company, all the way back to the ultimate beneficiary. All shareholders holding more than 25% of the shares are required to provide complete personal information.

    These materials can only be used in Germany after they have been authenticated by the German Embassy in China. ​

    If a Chinese state-owned company is controlled by a state-owned enterprise, it needs to establish a branch in Germany due to local project requirements in Germany. Due to the complexity of its shareholding structure, it is nested in layers of companies and eventually involves state agencies. If you want to prepare all the documents, it is expected to take at least 3 months.

    It is generally recommended that a one-person company be established in Germany by a Chinese natural person. That is, the Chinese natural person serves as the shareholder and general manager of the German company, and after the registration of the company is completed, only the shareholder needs to be changed, and the general manager remains unchanged. Since the company has been successfully registered, the change of equity structure is relatively simpler in operation.
