GmbH, UG, AG, Branch Office — Goldblum und Partner AG guides foreign founders through German company registration, tax, and compliance from our Düsseldorf office.
Every path to a German entity, covered.
From €1 UG startups to BaFin-regulated crypto entities — our Rechtsanwälte handle the full formation and compliance lifecycle.
GmbH Formation
Germany's most popular corporate structure. Limited liability, minimum €25,000 share capital. Formation in 2–4 weeks.
UG Formation
Start with as little as €1 share capital. The entrepreneur-friendly mini-GmbH — ideal for startups and solo founders.

Branch Office
Establish a German Zweigniederlassung — the fastest route for foreign companies already operating abroad.

Crypto License
BaFin-regulated crypto custody, trading, and exchange licences under KWG §32. Germany's clear regulatory pathway.

Founders who chose Germany. Chose us.
"Goldblum handled our GmbH formation end-to-end — notary, Handelsregister, VAT registration. Three weeks from kickoff to operating entity. Exceptional team."
Michael Schmidt
Serial Entrepreneur, Berlin
"The accounting service is worth every cent. They understand cross-border complexity — our Swiss parent structure, the German subsidiary, payroll across three EU states."
Thomas Müller
Managing Director, Munich
"As a non-EU founder I expected bureaucratic nightmares. Instead I got a clear roadmap, proactive updates, and my UG was registered faster than expected."
Maria Garcia
Founder, Madrid → Düsseldorf
"Their crypto licence advisory is what sets them apart. BaFin process is brutal — having IFLR-ranked counsel who've done it before is genuinely irreplaceable."
Laura Fischer
CEO, Hamburg-based SaaS
