Info

What are one-time and annual costs?

Set­ting up a GmbH or UG involves both one-time and annual costs.

One­time costs are incurred dur­ing the start-up phase and cover all expenses that are only incurred once. These include the cre­ation of the shelf com­pany, not­ary fees, regis­tra­tion with the com­mer­cial register and the legal and tax advice required to start your com­pany. These costs must be paid in the ini­tial phase of the found­a­tion.

Annual costs refer to the reg­u­lar expenses that are neces­sary for the ongo­ing oper­a­tion of your GmbH or UG. These include, for example, book­keep­ing, tax returns, the annual fin­an­cial state­ments and any ongo­ing con­sultancy costs. These costs are incurred every year to ensure that your com­pany is run cor­rectly from a legal and tax per­spect­ive.

With Start­bereit, you can be sure that both non-recur­ring and annual costs are presen­ted clearly and trans­par­ently so that you always have an over­view.
