EMPLOYING AS A FOREIGN COMPANY IN GERMANY

When foreign companies wish to conduct business in Germany, we would typically always recommend to incorporate a deditcated legal entity in Germany. There are several company forms to choose from and from all available company forms the GmbH (German limited) is probably the most used form, as it provides great flexibility to sustainably develop business in Germany. 

However, sometimes foreign companies would like to employee talent in Germany (e.g. a sales manager to develop business in Germany, or a technical engineer to provide customer service in the field) without incorporating a German legal entity.

This is usually the case when a foreign company would like to test the German market without engaging in greater responsibilities. Once the German market has been successfully tested and more opportunities are arising a German GmbH can be established at a later point in time.

We support foreign companies that wish to employ employees in Germany withouth the need of incorporating their own German legal entity.
