Kommanditgesellschaft (KG) anmelden

If you set up a limited partnership (KG), you are obliged to register it for entry in the commercial register. Only through registration does the KG arise and is fully legally competent. The registration of a KG, which already operates a commercial business, on the other hand, is only legally expressive, since the company already exists before registration.

The registration of a limited partnership must contain:

• the surnames, first names, dates of birth and places of residence of all partners,
• the name of the company and the place where it has its registered office, as well as the domestic business address,
• the power of representation of the partners and
• all limited partners, as well as the amount of the contribution of each of them.
• The application must also specify the location of the business premises and the object of the company that differs from the domestic business address, insofar as this does not result from the company.

HINT:
There are often several weeks between the preparation of the articles of association and the entry in the commercial register. Therefore, check the articles of association before registering again for its topicality.
 

There must be a partnership agreement among the partners, but this does not have to be submitted to the register court. Here alone the registration is sufficient, the provisions of the OHG apply (§§ 161 HGB).
 

The fees for entry in the commercial register depend on the registration effort

Registration

• The application for entry in the commercial register takes place electronically in publicly certified form. It is to be carried out by all partners. Please contact a notary.

HINT:
