Investment opportunities in Germany
Germany’s thriving startup scene attracts attention from around the world. Many of our clients share the sentiment that ‘the money is in London and the returns can be made in Berlin’.
Once you have found a suitable target however, you will often encounter red tape with regards to KYC, signature authentication and the need to prove corporate representation powers. Investors are sometimes even encouraged to personally attend notary meetings in Germany.
How we can assist
Whether you are using a company or are investing in a personal capacity, German law generally requires the involvement of a notary. Vanner Perez Notaries have extensive experience with the relevant German regulations and can guide you through the process. By obtaining a notarised power of attorney (Vollmacht) or representation certificate (Existenz- und Vertretungsbescheinigung) from us, you will often be able to complete your share purchase without having to travel to Germany in person.
Our German department is able to liaise with German solicitors, notaries and banks on your behalf, helping to find the most convenient solutions for you.
Documents for use in Germany generally also need to receive an apostille from the Foreign Office to be accepted by local courts and registrars. Vanner Perez Notaries will happily assist you with this part of the process as well.
