Business Services
Secretarial work for companies
When businesses in Germany deal solely in assets, they usually do not require an operational office, nor do they need any staff. Nevertheless, there is some work involved, such as mail handling.
Are you looking to hand over these tasks also to someone else? Then you’ve come to the right place with BK Wirtschaftstreuhand’s business services – regardless of whether you’re a foreign investor or a German company. We are happy to provide you with support right from your company’s founding throughout the entire operation of your company – even up to liquidation if needed.
Why are our business services especially important for foreign investors, in particular?
The German Act on Limited Liability Companies (GmbH-Gesetz) requires that founders register their business in the German commercial register with a domestic business address. Businesses can only be set up and run in Germany if they meet these conditions.
This presents foreign investors with a number of challenges: Without outside help, they would be obliged to rent business premises and to receive, comprehend linguistically and process incoming business correspondence there – for example when meeting payment obligations. It’s hardly surprising that many potential business founders feel overwhelmed. Why not leave all these tasks to someone else?
The benefits you enjoy with BK Wirtschaftstreuhand:
- You get to use our prestigious business address in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Here, we will take receipt of your correspondence, arrange it by content and forward it to the agreed contact person so nothing gets lost.
- There’s no need to rent an office or hire staff.
- You receive simple translations of your correspondence into English. We provide easy-to-understand instructions and are happy to answer any questions you may have. This allows you to take care of important correspondence with the tax office, accountants or the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, helping you to avoid missing deadlines.
- We act as your local agent. Because we have access to your company documents, we are often able to respond to requests directly, for example on accounting, banking or insurance matters. We will, of course, always inform you of all important processes being undertaken.
- We store all your company documents – including all your business correspondence. In doing so, we observe the statutory retention periods for German companies, usually between six and ten years. We are happy to provide you with the documents on request, or send them to a third person specified by you.
- Upon request, we even provide our services following the liquidation of your company. After all, statutory retention periods still need to be observed in this case. You retain our German business address, and we continue to store the business documents you already have deposited with us. If required, we are also able to coordinate closely with the liquidator and can provide them with all the necessary documentation.
