Most attractive business location in the European Union
Our representative office Berlin guarantees a quick and uncomplicated access to the German market. Here are some facts about the most important European economy:
Germany generates almost a quarter of the total European gross domestic product. The economy is highly diversified and solidly positioned with a broad mid-sized sector. Key industries include automotive, mechanical and electrical engineering, energy suppliers, chemical industry, and increasingly, trade and services. For many years, leading indices are attesting a high quality of locations and international competitiveness of the German economy.
A growing number of companies are setting up subsidiaries in Germany. Strong economic sectors, an excellent infrastructure and a dense research and development landscape are of high interest to numerous companies. Particularly appreciated by foreign companies are reliable production conditions and high quality standards. For consumer goods manufacturers, an outstanding purchasing power of more than 82 million inhabitants is – in a European comparative perspective – most attractive.
Furthermore, Germany is thanks to its geographical location in the middle of Europe, the most important hub between Eastern and Western Europe.

Developing early stage ideas into viable ventures
Especially for young companies there is a lack of capacities and resources for further market development. Working web-based seems to make you independent, regardless of location – however local visibility, personal partnerships and customer contacts are required in your target market. We offer the ideal support for young startups and social entrepreneurs with international orientation. Within our “Virtual Incubation Program” experienced start-up consultants optimize together with you all interfaces between processes, offers and structures for the new market.
To implement your business idea in the target market, we provide specific market information and access to clusters, networks and market partners. Our Virtual Office supports you in customer acquisition.
By participating in our “Virtual Incubation Program” startups will achieve not only market access but also a significant optimization of their business model.
Success and expansion may require changes
Of course our market entry support and representative services can be designed for longer periods. However, growth or changes in your business model may lead you to search for a new or additional location in a suitable region. Frequently, a larger customer base makes it necessary to hire staff and so to establish a larger office or production site.
A first aspect is how the new branch establishment can be legally organized in the enterprise’s structure.
Under German law three different alternatives are conceivable: the establishment of a subsidiary, setting up of an independent branch or once again a dependent branch or operating facility, similar to our representative office. Only in the case of setting up a subsidiary a new company of its own will be founded. By establishing an independent branch office, independent participation in trading activities is possible, but only the existing company (headquarter) will be registered as a legal entity in the German commercial register. There may be further and different types of organizing your new establishment in other European countries.
Another important issue is identifying a suitable location according to your market and customer requirements. For further details, please refer to our item Site Selection.
We will also accompany you during these enterprising activities to the final implementation of your new location. For legal aspects and tax optimization of your project, we will consult competent experts in all relevant topics as required.
