GmbH-UG.com (Formatera Service GmbH) is a German company formation and corporate administration service provider headquartered in Nuremberg. It focuses on helping foreign entrepreneurs and international businesses enter the German market. Its core offering is not simply providing forms, but coordinating the notarization, commercial register, bank account, tax number and related procedures involved in German company formation on behalf of clients, with an emphasis on being able to handle the process from abroad.
Its services cover the formation of German GmbH/UG companies, purchase of shelf companies, changes to company name/address/directors/business scope/legal form, virtual offices, and liquidation. The jurisdiction is clearly Germany: the site states that it can assist with company formation in any German city, and its virtual office service also covers multiple German cities. For import/export businesses, a useful point is that all registration packages include applications for a tax number, VAT number, and EORI number at no extra charge. The virtual office address is stated not to be a c/o address and can be entered in the commercial register, which has practical value for foreign shareholders who need an official registered address.
Pricing transparency is mixed. Shelf company pricing is disclosed in more detail: a GmbH costs €29,000, including €25,000 in bank balance and share capital; a UG costs €3,500, including €500 in balance and share capital. However, pricing for new formations, change services, and virtual offices must be requested by quote. Purchasing a shelf company also involves notary fees, registration court fees, and business registration fees, so the overall cost is not low. In terms of timing, a new company formation usually takes 1–3 months. A shelf company can be reserved for 48 hours, and business can start relatively quickly after signing and payment; remote certification takes around 1–3 weeks.
Its strengths are strong local capability in Germany, a complete service chain, support for remote processing, and access to a personal consultant as well as phone and Zoom consultations. This makes it relatively friendly for foreign clients unfamiliar with German bureaucracy. The drawbacks are that public pricing is limited outside shelf companies, and ongoing compliance services such as bookkeeping, tax filing, and annual maintenance are not clearly disclosed in the main content. In addition, actual timelines may still be affected by German banks, tax offices, and court procedures.
It is suitable for those planning to set up a German GmbH/UG, businesses needing VAT/EORI, cross-border e-commerce or import/export operators, and buyers who want to obtain a German company quickly. The main content does not state the access situation from China, and payment methods are only described as prepayment or payment after notarization, without confirming support for common Chinese payment methods. If using the service from China, it is advisable to first confirm by email or Zoom whether access, payment, remote notarization, and bank account opening are feasible.
