Ein singapurischer Bekannter hat mir folgende Fragen gestellt, auf die ich absolut keine Antwort weiss:
-
Can I as a Singaporean just go to Berlin, rent a shop and sell clothes? Am I required by law to register a company? Must it be a GmbH?
-
For a GmbH, is the startup capital same for a foreigner as for a German? How much is it? Is the startup capital UNTOUCHABLE? ie., I have to show I have that some of cash in the bank all the time?
-
How much will it cost to rent a small retail space, say 30 sq.m? and how much will it cost to renovate it?
-
Are there any taxes for shipping/posting garments into Germany?
Vielleicht hat ja jemand da draußen in der weiten Welt des Netzes ein paar Antworten. Vielen Dank!

Hallo Chris,
- Can I as a Singaporean just go to Berlin, rent a shop and
sell clothes? Am I required by law to register a company? Must
it be a GmbH?
The business must be registered (Gewerbeanmeldung), but you don’t need to register a company.
- For a GmbH, is the startup capital same for a foreigner as
for a German?
yes
How much is it?
25.000 Euro
Is the startup capital UNTOUCHABLE? ie., I have to show I have
that some of cash in the bank all the time?
no
- How much will it cost to rent a small retail space, say 30
sq.m? and how much will it cost to renovate it?
where in Berlin? You can get rooms for 150 Euro/20 sqm and you can let rooms for 2000 Euro/sqm.
- Are there any taxes for shipping/posting garments into
Germany?
The best way is to ask the local german embasy for adresses or contacts.
Tschuess Marco.
