Questions founders ask first

What does the company cost after the first year?

€449 a year for the federal filing if you are the sole owner (Tax package) and €500 a year for agent, address and state report (Renewal package). Each year is its own order.

Why do you cost more than a filing service?

A filing-only service registers the company. We also handle what decides whether it works: a consistent document set for banks, from Growth the bank and payment applications prepared with you, your filing calendar including Form 5472 (prepared by our partner tax firm), and one contact in English or German. The state fee is included.
