Does a sole proprietorship have to be entered in the commercial register?2024-07-15T13:45:02+02:00

As soon as the activity assumes a certain commercial scope, registration as an e.K. is mandatory.nullAs a rule of thumb, a trading company with an annual turnover of over 250,000 euros is subject to registration. For companies in the service sector, a threshold value of approx. 150,000 euros applies.nullOtherwise, as a sole trader you do not necessarily need a commercial register entry.nullSome clients prefer the e.K., as an entry in the commercial register looks more serious and professional, which may have advantages over the contractual partner.

Is the founder of a sole proprietorship personally liable?2024-07-15T13:47:18+02:00

Yes, as a sole trader and also as a Kaufmann e.K. you have direct and unlimited liability with your business and private assets.nullThere is no possibility of limiting liability. Public liability and pecuniary loss liability insurance "only" protects against third-party claims for damages in the amount of the sum insured.

Is there an advantage of a sole proprietorship over a UG?2024-07-15T13:48:17+02:00

The bureaucratic burden is lower for a sole proprietorship. Small businesses do not need to be entered in the commercial register, for example. There is also no accounting obligation.

How much is the trade license fee?2024-07-15T13:53:18+02:00

The fee charged by the trade licensing office for registering a sole proprietorship is between approx. 10.00 and 65.00 EUR for the client. In addition, there may be costs for the submission of a police clearance certificate and a trade license, etc., if further documents are required in individual cases.

What are the approximate notary and registration fees for registering as an e.K.?2024-07-15T13:53:10+02:00

The notary and registration fees for an e.K. company together amount to approx. 300.00 EUR.

Does the review of the e.K. name under company law also correspond to a review under competition law?2024-07-15T13:53:01+02:00

No, it is always advisable to check the e.K. name / an e.K. logo or a sole proprietorship logo under competition law. This is independent of the company law review. We recommend that you commission a separate trademark search for the trademark or for the trademark or a trademark application with us.
