What our cus­tom­ers say

Our cus­tom­ers’ exper­i­ences speak for them­selves: com­pany regis­tra­tion Ger­many has never been easier. From the swift trans­fer of a GmbH or UG to per­son­al­ized sup­port – Start­bereit stands for easy, seam­less, and reli­able com­pany form­a­tion. Learn how we’ve sup­por­ted founders on their jour­ney and why they con­tinue to recom­mend us.

As a UK based star­tup branch­ing out into Ger­many, nav­ig­at­ing the Ger­man bur­eau­cracy to estab­lish a com­pany seemed daunt­ing. Start­bereit made the pro­cess incred­ibly smooth and effi­cient. By acquir­ing a shelf com­pany through them, we bypassed much of the ini­tial paper­work and time-con­sum­ing steps. Their team provided clear guid­ance and sup­port through­out, mak­ing the entire exper­i­ence less pain­ful. We highly recom­mend Start­bereit to any for­eign owner look­ing for a stream­lined and reli­able way to set up a busi­ness in Ger­many.

I thought set­ting up a com­pany in 24 hours was impossible in Ger­many. But Start­bereit makes it hap­pen and it’s really simple and digital.

Car­olin Neu­mann

CEO

Enter­ing the Ger­man mar­ket for the first time seemed over­whelm­ing and bur­eau­cratic. Start­bereit made it easy for us at Temple Future Own­ers to nav­ig­ate the chal­lenges, help­ing us set up quickly and without the usual paper­work. We’re grate­ful we found this solu­tion, sav­ing us valu­able time that would have oth­er­wise been lost in lengthy pro­cesses.

For me, set­ting up a GmbH always involved an end­less amount of bur­eau­cracy. With start­bereit, it was all done digit­ally and thanks to the step by step guidelines, I was done and became the CEO of my GmbH sur­pris­ingly quickly.
