Libyan Businessman: Establishing a Company in Germany?

Frage

I am a Libyan businessman and looking forward to establish a company in Germany. First, I want to make sure, that all nationalities are allowed including mine. Second, I would appreciate, if you can recommend reliable trustworthy firms, that can do the registration works.

Antwort

Generally there are no restrictions for foreign nationals who wish to establish a company in Germany. However, a German business address is required. Additionally, the local trade office registration generally requires that a local representative of the business be located in Germany. For information on how to set up a company in Germany, please look at the website of GTAI.

The incorporation procedure of a GmbH or UG requires the involvement of a German notary. For individual advice on how to proceed with the registration of your company, please contact a German notary (German website) of your choice.

Please also take notice of the requirements for entering and residing in Germany, provided by the Federal Foreign Office. Non-EU nationals must generally apply for a visa at the responsible German embassy at their domicile.

Please note that no legal advice can be given in this forum. For individual legal advice, please contact a lawyer of your choice.
