The steps of German company registration can be summarized into seven steps
       1. The company's articles of association mainly include the company's name, address, business scope, registered capital, the amount of each shareholder's subscription in the registered capital, and the signature of all shareholders. The minimum registered capital of a limited liability company is 25000 euro, and there is no limit on the number of shareholders. The amount of subscription of each shareholder shall not be less than 100 euro, which shall be a multiple of 50 euro. It can also contribute in kind, but the amount of contribution in kind shall be indicated in the articles of association.
       2. The articles of association, the name, date of birth and personal address of the general manager, and the name of the company's effective signer shall be submitted to the notary lawyer for notarization. The notary lawyer will give advice on the procedures required for the establishment of the company. The notary lawyer will inform the German Chamber of Commerce and industry of the company's name and business scope for confirmation.
       3. If the business scope of a company registered in Germany involves industries requiring government approval, it should apply to the relevant authorities. The relevant authorities will, in accordance with the relevant provisions, understand the personal information of the investors and the ability of the company, and make a decision whether to agree or not.
       4. Open an account in a German bank and remit at least 50% of the registered capital into the German bank account. If there is any contribution in kind, the sum of the cash and the value in kind will reach at least 50% of the registered capital, of which cash accounts for at least half (i.e. one fourth of the total registered capital).
       5. Apply for industrial and commercial registration at the local court where the registered German company is located. The application documents include: the articles of association and the power of attorney signed by all shareholders, the letter of appointment of the general manager, the list of all shareholders (including name, date of birth, residential address and amount of subscription), the report of contribution in kind, the notarial certificate that the value in kind is consistent with the amount in the articles of association, and the national approval certificate (if necessary). When applying for industrial and commercial registration, the authority of directors should also be stated. The authorized manager shall sign on the spot and leave the signature seal.
       6. The application materials were examined and approved by the German District Court and published in the German Federal electronic bulletin (Elektronische bundesanzeiger, gesellschaftsblatt). The official date of establishment of the company is the date of approval by the German local court.
       7. In order to carry out business activities in Germany, the general manager of the company should also apply to the local economic and order Bureau for business registration and obtain a business license. The application materials include my valid certificate, a copy of the industrial and commercial registration of the German company, the approval documents that need to be approved by the industry, and the necessary manual technician certificate, etc. New German companies should also be registered with the local finance bureau, tax bureau, chamber of Commerce and industry, labor bureau and medical insurance company.
       There are some overlaps in the implementation of the above seven steps. According to German law, the registration of German companies must employ notarial lawyers to operate, and lawyers are required to participate in more complex projects.
