Starting a business in Germany is exciting. The bureaucracy? Less so.

If you've ever stared at a Fragebogen zur steuerlichen Erfassung wondering where to even begin — join our online workshop on the 14.07 at 10am. 

In this session, Tax Advisor Timo Turek will be covering the essentials every founder, entrepreneur, and freelancer in Germany needs to know:

  • Incorporating a GmbH (and when a UG makes more sense)
  • Accounting & tax compliance — what's actually required
  • Tax registration - step-by-step guideline
  • Research grants — what are the options available
  • Employee stock programs — VSOP vs. ESOP, and § 19a EStG
  • Convertible loans — the go-to seed instrument explained
  • VAT for digital services — reverse-charge and more 

No fluff. No generic advice. Just the real requirements delivered by a tax advisor with over a decade of experience.
