Launch your German venture with practical guidance from VJM Global. We help US entrepreneurs assess the right structure, coordinate notarised formation steps, register with the Handelsregister and Gewerbeamt, and prepare for German tax and ongoing compliance. From a GmbH or UG decision through payroll, VAT, and reporting, our cross-border team keeps your market entry organised and aligned with local requirements.
Integrated German formation, compliance, finance, and employment support for US entrepreneurs entering the market.
Evaluate a GmbH, UG, branch, or other suitable structure, prepare formation documents, and coordinate registration with the relevant German authorities.
Receive support for commercial contracts, shareholder arrangements, employment documentation, licences, and regulatory registrations through qualified local counsel where required.
Keep statutory registers, board and shareholder documentation, ownership changes, constitutional updates, and ongoing corporate filings organised after incorporation.
Prepare for Finanzamt registration, obtain required tax identifiers, and establish a practical approach to VAT, corporate tax, and trade-tax obligations.
Build a reliable bookkeeping and reporting foundation with reconciliations, management reporting, month-end close, and year-end statutory accounts preparation.
Set up compliant employee onboarding, gross-to-net payroll, Lohnsteuer withholding, social insurance contributions, payslips, and statutory payroll reporting.
We discuss your planned activities, ownership, funding, hiring needs, and timeline. For US founders entering Germany, this early review helps identify whether a GmbH, UG, branch, or another route best supports the intended operation.

VJM Global brings decades of tax, audit, advisory, and entity-formation experience to businesses expanding across borders. Our team of 100+ accounting and business setup professionals supports clients with market entry, ongoing compliance, payroll, and outsourced finance needs in more than 100 countries. For US entrepreneurs establishing in Germany, we coordinate a structured path through local entity choices, notarisation, commercial-register steps, tax registration, and operational compliance. Our approach is grounded in the requirements of the market where you will operate: German regulators, German entity types, and German filing obligations. We combine dedicated financial expertise with transparent communication so founders can make informed decisions, maintain visibility, and focus on building their German business.
Foreign entrepreneurs can generally establish a German business by selecting an entity type, preparing formation documents, completing any required notarisation, registering the entity in the Handelsregister, and completing trade registration where applicable. A GmbH requires EUR 25,000 stated share capital, while a UG can be formed with EUR 1. The business then needs tax registration with the Finanzamt and appropriate ongoing accounting and compliance processes.
