Sorry, that was not a good idea and will costs you money and nerves to fix that. Now you are locked into Germany even if your business can be operated from everywhere around the globe. If you move the GmbH out of Germany you have to pay GmbH fair value ; fair value according to German Tax Authority! Do a Holding GmbH + Operative GmbH to accumulate wealth tax efficiently. You could have your company on your name (Personengesellschaft) and operate from across the globe, especially with cheaper taxes and living expenses OR even found a GmbH-like company in a cheap tax haven and do vacation in Germany.</text></comment>

I have friends who opened small tech companies in Germany, and the prevalent feeling is fear. Fear of doing something wrong, not declaring the correct taxes, misunderstanding profitability, etc. This type of article makes the process much more understandable. I like the strategy of detailing which problems to ignore or push for later, this is very useful advice.</text></comment>
