Hello!

Have you contemplated doing business or are you a business owner in Germany?

Are foreign investors welcome? How hard is it to register and manage a company? What is the procedure to get started? Is it easy to recruit? What are the corporate tax rates in Germany?

What advice would you give to other prospective business owners? What do you wish you had known before opening a business in Germany?

Thank you very much for your participation! Your advice can help other members get started.

 

While researching another project, I cam e across a really helpful how-to from Frankfurt's government page on "Setting up a company in Frankfurt am Main" (http://www.frankfurt.de/sixcms/media.ph ... ngl_bf.pdf). It covers steps to take before leaving your home country all the way through to visas and licenses. Hope it helps any entrepreneur expats out there

Has anyone tried opening a business in Germany? Does this match what you had to prepare for?
