Structuring International Expansion
For international entrepreneurs, a shelf company in Germany or Europe can be a useful component within a larger corporate structure. Particularly when combined with a Swiss holding structure, it enables a rapid operational start without the delays of a traditional company formation.
Biolley Treuhand assists international entrepreneurs – together with its partner FORIS AG – in the selection and integration of shelf companies in Germany and Europe.
The focus is not on simply providing a company, but on its structural integration into a sustainable corporate architecture in the long term, for example in conjunction with a holding structure between Switzerland and Germany.
Partners for German shelf companies
Biolley Treuhand collaborates with FORIS to provide German shelf companies.
FORIS is one of the established providers of shelf companies and has more than 25 years of experience in the formation and provision of such companies in Germany.
Through this cooperation, Biolley Treuhand can access legally prepared companies and support their integration into international corporate structures.
Legal forms of shelf companies in Germany
Depending on the business model and structure, different legal forms can be used.
GmbH (limited liability company)
The GmbH (limited liability company) is the most common legal form for operating companies in Germany and is particularly suitable for medium-sized structures.UG (limited liability)
The entrepreneurial company is an independent legal form, but is considered a so-called "small" GmbH with lower share capital and is often used for smaller or newly established business models.
AG (public limited company)
A shelf company (AG) is frequently used for investment and holding structures, especially when several investors are involved or a clear governance structure is desired.SE (Societas Europaea)
The European public limited company (Societas Europaea) enables a uniform corporate structure within the European Union and is primarily used by internationally active corporate groups.GmbH & Co. KG
This structure combines elements of a corporation with a partnership and is frequently used for tax-structured investment models.KG (limited partnership)
A classic partnership with a general partner and limited partners.
The choice of the appropriate legal form is always made in the context of the overall corporate structure.
Shelf companies in the context of a Swiss holding company and European structures
In many international corporate structures, an operating company in Germany or another EU country is managed under a Swiss holding company.
A typical structure might consist of, for example:
Swiss holding company (AG)
operating company in Germany
further subsidiaries within the European Union
In such situations, acquiring a shelf company in Germany or the EU can provide an efficient basis for operational business activities, especially when a company is needed at short notice.
Biolley Treuhand and FORIS support the structured implementation of such holding structures between Switzerland, Germany and the European Union, taking into account governance, shareholding structure and long-term financing capacity.
