The private security sector in Germany is regulated and companies in this business field need to obtain special licenses. Individuals who act as security guards must also possess a license, issued after they have completed an instruction and training course.

Company formation in Germany
When opening a security agency, the company founders will need to start by choosing a business form, selecting an available company name and opening a bank account.
The GmbH is a popular business form among investors because of the fact that is has a lower capital than the AG (only 25,000 EUR) and the founders are only liable to the amount of invested capital. There are no restrictions on the number of founders or their nationality, which makes this business form suitable for foreign investors.
