So gründe und führe ich eine GmbH

You want to found a GmbH (limited liability company), invest in an existing GmbH, or manage a GmbH as its managing director? Or is the UG (limited liability company), the little sister of the GmbH, sufficient to realize your goals? This guidebook provides you with the necessary knowledge in comprehensible language and answers all questions on, among other things, formation, articles of association and company meetings, rights and duties of the managing director, dissolution, liquidation, and deletion. GmbHs and UGs (limited liability companies) enjoy unbroken popularity among business start-ups due to their liability privilege and the much simpler legal structure and handling compared to the law of public limited companies. However, only knowledge of at least the basics of GmbH law makes it possible to effectively use the advantages of this form of company and avoid the dangers. Following the reform, the new edition is a "must" for anyone dealing with the GmbH.

The new edition presents the new possibility of founding a GmbH online, created by the Act Implementing the Digitalisation Directive, together with the other changes to the GmbHG, provides information on the significantly expanded reporting obligations to the Transparency Register and takes into account important new case law for founders and managing directors of a GmbH.

For all those who are considering founding a GmbH, participating in an existing GmbH, or taking over the office of managing director there, as well as for legal and non-legal advisors.
