Formation requirements
In this respect, the asset-managing GmbH does not differ from the classic GmbH. The requirements for formation are the same. This means that...:
You need a shareholders' agreement in which all details about the company, voting rights, etc. are set out.
You must have the vvGmbH entered in the commercial register (note: only ‘asset management’ is actually permitted as a business purpose for the vvGmbH).
The minimum deposit requirements of 25,000 euros must be met.

When is it worth setting up a GmbH for asset management?
A number of requirements must be met when setting up an asset management GmbH. At the same time, the question naturally arises as to when it is worth setting up a vvGmbH in the first place.
As a rule of thumb: If the asset-managing GmbH helps you save more taxes than it causes costs, you should definitely look into this topic. For more information, please contact our partner Ride Capital.
This is how high the share capital of a vvGmbH is
Here too, the vvGmbH is similar to the GmbH. As a founder, you must provide proof of share capital of 25,000 euros in both cases. Which shareholder contributes how much is irrelevant. The amount raised is intended to protect creditors from losses.
Tax advantages
As mentioned above, the sole purpose of an asset management company is actually asset management. It is therefore not part of a trade and accordingly does not pay trade tax.
When setting up the company, however, it is important to bear in mind that you as the managing director must still pay 15 per cent corporation tax.
For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned at this point that the asset-managing GmbH can also have disadvantages. For example, this concept is intended exclusively for long-term asset accumulation. The formation costs are higher than for other forms of business, ultimately because of the share capital. You are also obliged to publish your annual financial statements and act transparently.
Our partner Ride Capital will show you what you should pay attention to so that the formation of your vvGmbH is as uncomplicated as possible.
