Our Notary Appointment – The Formation of Our Company (GmbH, German Limited Liability Company)

The notary appointment was one of those days we won’t forget anytime soon. After many discussions, planning sessions, and decisions, it was clear: we wanted to officially establish our company. Going to the notary was not just a legal requirement, but also a very concrete milestone for us as a team.

Preparation and Expectations

We had thought a lot in advance: Which legal structure suits us best? How should we design the articles of association? Which roles will each of us take on? With these questions in mind, we went into the appointment. Even though much had already been decided, we realized that this day carried more weight than just a formality.

The Appointment at the Notary’s Office

At the notary’s office, the documents were reviewed point by point. The articles of association, the appointment of the managing directors – everything was read aloud and discussed. It was a very structured process, almost matter-of-fact, and yet all the more impressive. Because at that moment it became clear: our idea was now becoming a legally binding company.

With our signatures on the contract, it was official. A brief moment – but one with great significance.

Looking Ahead

Right after the appointment, we knew: there was no turning back – and that felt exactly right. The company was no longer just on our to-do lists; it had become reality. Of course, more steps followed, such as paying in the share capital and registering in the commercial register. But the notary appointment was the starting point where everything officially began.

Our Conclusion

For us, the notary appointment was much more than a formality. It marked the transition from planning to execution, from theory to practice. And even though the process itself was factual and structured, it was a meaningful moment on our path to entrepreneurship.
