If you set up a limited partnership (KG), you are obliged to register it in the commercial register. The KG only comes into existence and has full legal capacity once it has been registered. The registration of a KG that is already operating a commercial business, on the other hand, is only legally confirmatory, as the company already exists prior to registration.

There must be a partnership agreement.

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
• 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, insofar as this is not apparent from the company name.

The fees for entry in the commercial register depend on the amount of work involved.

Registration

To submit an application, please contact a notary.

• The notary will advise you on how to formulate the application.
• The application is made exclusively electronically and a publicly notarized document is created for this purpose.
• The declaration is provided with an electronic signature (in accordance with § 39a Beurkundungsgesetz/BeurkG) and sent to the electronic court and administrative mailbox of the registry court.

Changes
Have important details about your company, such as the registered office, legal form or authorized representatives, changed? Then please have the commercial register entry corrected immediately.

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

Responsible The register court (at the local court) at the registered office of your company is responsible for registration. The entry is made by a notary's office.
