Money & WorkFact
Those three letters tell you whose money is at risk.
A German GmbH needs 25,000 euros of share capital, of which at least 12,500 must be paid in at registration. In return, only company assets are liable, not the owners' private wealth. The UG, introduced in 2008, can start with a single euro.
Useful: Dealing with a UG, the capital behind your contract may be smaller than the cash in your wallet.
