Can I start from abroad, and will I need to travel?
The initial discussion and much of the planning can take place remotely. Whether you need to attend appointments depends on the legal form, identification requirements, notarial procedure and banking process. Available online procedures or representation by an authorised person are assessed for your case; a fully remote formation is not promised.
How long does the process take?
Timing depends on the state of your planning, complete information, ownership arrangements and the documents required. Notarial appointments, banks, registers and other institutions also affect the timetable. We agree a realistic sequence for your project and explain dependencies instead of promising a universal completion date.
What should I prepare for the first contact?
A short description of your business idea, the people or companies involved, your intended German activity and your timetable is enough to begin. Tell us whether you already have a plan, financial forecasts or company documents. We will request identification and further documents through an agreed channel when needed; please do not send passports or bank records with an unsolicited first enquiry.
Which languages are available, and how do I get started?
The website is available in English, German, Turkish, Arabic, Persian and Spanish. Tell us your preferred language when you contact us; we confirm the language of advice and documents, and any interpreting or translation needs, for your engagement. Use “Discuss your project” to describe your plans. Sending an enquiry does not itself create a mandate.
