Tax and legal advice from one source
There are always legal and fiscal hurdles for company founders, and we would like to support you in overcoming them. From a tax perspective, we focus on creating an optimal and efficient basis so that you can concentrate on the essential – your project – right from the start. In addition to general tax and legal questions in all phases of development and long-term competent support, we offer in particular comprehensive advice on contribution issues and conversions, e.g. in order to prepare you for investment in portfolio companies. We are also happy to advise you in connection with capital increases.
The transfer of an already existing business to a new or existing company results in important tax and legal peculiarities and questions when founding or restructuring a company. We would be pleased to show you the design possibilities and support you in the tax and legal implementation from one source. In this way, we can work with you to consider how to optimize the structure and security and find the best way for you, taking into account all advantages and disadvantages.
When setting up a company / start-up, many questions arise not only from a tax point of view but also from a legal point of view, and we would like to advise you on these questions. Our goal is to guide you to the most efficient approach from the very beginning. To this end, it is our particular concern to reduce the tax burden to a minimum. We offer you a tax-optimised design of your start-up, prepare tax returns, annual financial statements, take care of digital bookkeeping, if desired, and much more. Please do not hesitate to contact us and let us create an individual plan for you.
To finance your start-up, you may need outside capital, possibly in the form of venture capital. In this context, tax and legal particularities regularly arise. Thanks to our many years of experience, we are particularly well positioned in this field and can advise you on all tax and legal issues.

08.03.: ESOP – Reform / Fondsstandortgesetz – Improvement of Staff Ownership?
Compared to the international competition, Germany is far behind in terms of Staff Ownership opportunities. This is mainly due to the restrictive tax treatment. Those who nevertheless decide to involve their employees must resort to complex constructs such as “virtual employee options” (VSOPs), phantom shares or stock appreciation rights. After years of experts and start-ups drawing attention to this problem, the federal government has now decided to simplify the employee status with the draft of the so-called “Fund Location Act”.
Wie funktionieren Mitarbeiterbeteiligungen überhaupt?
Staff Ownership is essentially profit-sharing and serves as an incentive to recruit skilled workers. In the event of an IPO or exit of the start-up, the employees are then paid their shareholdings in the company.
