Eintragung einer Kommanditgesellschaft (KG) in das Handelsregister

If you establish a limited partnership (KG), you are obliged to apply for its registration in the commercial register. Only after registration does the KG come into existence and have full legal capacity. On the other hand, the registration of a KG that already operates a commercial business is merely a legal document, since the company already exists prior to registration.

The registration of a limited partnership shall contain:

• the surnames, first names, dates of birth and places of residence of all partners
• the name of the partnership and the place where it has its registered office, as well as the domestic business address
• the power of representation of the shareholders
• all limited partners and the amount of the contribution of each of them

The registration must indicate the location of the business premises, which differs from the domestic business address, and the object of the company, unless this is evident from the company name.

There must be a partnership agreement.

The fees for registration in the Commercial Register depend on the registration effort.

Registration

To apply, contact a notary public.

• The notary will advise on the formulation of the application.
• The application is made only electronically, for this purpose a publicly certified document is prepared.
• The declaration is provided with an electronic signature (within the meaning of § 39a Beurkundungsgesetz/BeurkG) and sent to the electronic court and administrative mailbox of the registry court.

Changes

Significant details about your company, such as the registered office, legal form or authorized representatives, have changed? Then please have the commercial register entry corrected without delay.

The entry is made in the same way exclusively by a notary public.

There are often several weeks between the drafting of the articles of association and the entry in the commercial register. Therefore, check the articles of association once again before registration to ensure that they are up to date.
