The limited liability company in Germany, also known as a limited liability company or simply GmbH, is one of the most common company structures in Germany. It is an extremely flexible structure as it combines numerous legal advantages while having very few limitations. In Germany, the GmbH is subject to corporation tax (KSt), the solidarity surcharge and trade tax.

As an exception, the shares in the GmbH may neither be sold publicly nor entered on the public stock exchange. The company is managed by the shareholders' meeting. The day-to-day decisions and business are taken care of by the company's board of directors, appointed by resolution of the shareholders' meeting.
GmbH formation procedure in Germany All legal requirements and regulations for the formation of the GmbH are determined by the company law.
Before starting the incorporation process, it is highly recommended to apply for an availability check to check the availability of the company name with the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry department, notarize the company incorporation documents and open a bank account. In this preliminary stage, share capital must be paid into the bank account.
In order to initiate the incorporation process, the following company documents must generally be submitted to the local commercial register authority:
Application for company formation; notarized articles of incorporation; A document stating the Board of Directors and its structure; A document proving that the share capital has been deposited. All documents listed above must be submitted in digital form in accordance with German standards for digital filing and verification. The formation of a newly founded company takes place on the basis of a central electronic platform that is developed and operated by the commercial register of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Trade license and sales tax acquisition The next logical step before starting business is to apply for a business license from the local Economics and Standardization Office, followed by registration with the National Statistics Office (providing all necessary operational, industry and financial information). Data). After that, newly founded GmbHs should also submit and register with the local IHK and the local department of the employment office.
The employment office should hear the case and assign a company an eight-digit number that must be reported to the social welfare office. After all the previous steps have been carried out and completed, the GmbH must submit an application to the federal health insurance fund. In addition, legal notices should be sent to the Central Tax Administration informing about the newly formed company, with all the above points leading to registration for the German corporate tax and sales tax payer number.

Company account opening in Germany If you are not a German resident, even if you are a citizen of another EU member state, there are still certain verification and compliance procedures to open a corporate bank account in Germany. This means that your company is expected to comply with certain legal requirements, such as B. a local tax number, place of residence and some other relevant things.
There are also additional compliance requirements as it can be quite difficult to prove credit history for a newly incorporated company, international invoices can easily cause problems and raise questions meaning most banks will not be willing to take the risks which can lead to the refusal to open a business account.
Such a practice complicates things quite a bit, as smaller traders from other EU member states, small e-commerce traders and all those business people dealing with online marketplace businesses usually struggle to get paid. For example, if you are willing to have an Amazon marketplace connected business account with a German bank, you will most likely need to have a business account with a local German IBAN number in order to receive money, simply for security reasons, which can cause problems.
For many customers, the best practical solution would be to find an online business banking partner that offers a virtual business bank account, such as a B2B Pay. It can be especially useful if you are able to get a multi-currency virtual account, which means you can receive money and store money in multiple different currencies.
An audit is an independent and systematic examination of accounts, books, documents, statutory records and vouchers of a company to ascertain that the financial statements and non-financial disclosures present a fair and true view as well as maintained as required by law. Audits provide an assurance by the third party that the subject matter does not contain a material misstatement. While the term is most frequently used to evaluate the financial information of a legal entity, there are various other areas that are commonly audited: internal controls, secretarial and compliance audit, quality management, water and energy management and conservation as well as project management. As a result, various stakeholders can effectively evaluate and, if necessary, improve the effectiveness of risk management, governance and control processes of the legal entity.
Organization of an audit Most companies receive an audit once a year, while some, usually large corporations, can receive audits even on a monthly basis. Often, audit is a legal requirement in order to eliminate the intentional misstatements of financial information in an attempt to commit fraud. For some companies, especially publicly traded ones, audits are used to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control measurements. During the process of auditing, auditors are required to follow auditing standards set by the government body. The process is usually organized in six steps:
Requesting documents – auditor requests certain documents listed on the preliminary checklist. These documents may include a previous audit report, bank statements, receipts and ledgers as well as organizational charts, bylaws and standing rules and copies of the board and committee minutes. Preparing an audit plan – after the auditor has received all required documents, an audit plan is drafted. During this stage, a risk workshop might be conducted in order to identify possible problems. Scheduling an open meeting – senior management together with key administrative staff are invited to a meeting during which a scope of the audit is explained. Other details, such as time frames, scheduled vacations and interviews with the auditors are discussed. Conducting fieldwork – auditors are speaking with staff members, reviewing processes and procedures, testing compliance with laws and policies, evaluating internal controls as well as discussing possible problems with the organization. Drafting a report – auditor prepares a report with detailed findings of the audit. Such details as posting problems, mathematical errors, payments that are authorized and not paid along with other discrepancies and concerns are listed. Finally, the auditor writes a commentary about the findings of the audit and possible solutions for the found problems. Setting up a closing meeting – management of the audited company discusses the highlighted problems and describes the action plan to address them along with projected completion date. Finally, the management indicates whether it agrees with the problems pointed out by the auditors. It is important to point out that auditors seek to provide only a reasonable assurance that the audited information is free from material error. Which means that they do not check every figure in the financial statements; they also do not look at every transaction that is carried out by the organization. Auditors do not judge the appropriateness of the business activities, strategies or decisions made by the company’s management. Types of auditors There are generally three types of auditors:
Internal auditors – employed by the company for whom they are performing the audit. They provide information to the management of the company about the accuracy of their books and the efficiency of their internal control system. Consultant auditors – performing the same function as internal auditors, but are not employed by the company. External auditors – follow a set of generally accepted set of standards to evaluate the financial reporting and possible misstatements of the company. Legally required audits need to be performed by external auditors.
