Holding companies

Business address for holding companies

An address for service (ladungsfähige Anschrift) on real commercial premises with building approval – for holding and investment companies that have their registered office in Schönefeld or are managed from here.

  • Registered office with a personal mailbox – with a dedicated desk for management if you wish
  • Holding company and operating company at one address, each with its own contract and mailbox
  • Individual terms for holding companies – depending on their nature and scope, independently of your operating company

Option A or B

Registered office or place of management?

The registered office is determined by the articles of association (§ 11 AO). The place of management is where the key decisions are actually taken (§ 10 AO).

Option Awith registered seat in Schönefeld: § 11 AO

Business address and address for service

  • Address for the commercial register, legal notice and business stationery
  • Personal mailbox with mail acceptance, including registered mail
Option B§§ 12, 10 AO

Permanent establishment or place of management

  • A dedicated desk assigned exclusively to you
  • Management actually works and takes decisions on site
Which tax office (Finanzamt) is responsible for your company depends on the place of management (§ 20 AO) – i.e. where the business is actually managed. Please clarify your structure with your tax adviser.

An address alone moves neither the place of management nor taxation.

Holding company and operating company at one address

  • Each company receives its own contract, its own labelled mailbox and its own documents; the documents we need from it depend on its legal form.
  • We also identify the beneficial owners – the natural persons at the end of the chain of ownership; for multi-tier structures, a short ownership chart helps. More under documents by legal form and anti-money laundering.
  • Contracts and documents do not replace actual use.
  • If you set up your holding company as a new GmbH or UG with its business address at our premises, the two free months from your notary appointment apply to it as well.
