Key aspects for opening a courier business in Germany
One of the first things you need to decide as an owner of a courier business in Germany is what type or services you are going to provide and what limits you will admit in size and heaviness of the packages which need to be delivered. Some investors in Germany who start a courier enterprise decide to limit their service area to a particular region of the country. Your investments will be much bigger if you plan to deliver worldwide and the choice of the vehicle types also depend on this aspect. You will also have to calculate the price list for your services allowing you to cover your monthly expenses.
In case you intend to form a car fleet for your courier business in Germany you will need to make sure that your employees have sufficient training and possess a driving license.

The registration process for a courier business in Germany
If you intend to invest in a courier business, you can discuss with our experts regarding the most important steps in company registration in Germany. First you will need to choose a legal structure, which means the type of company that you will establish in Germany. A GmbH in Germany (GesellschaftmitbeschränkterHaftung) is the German equivalent for a limited liability company, which can be established with an initial capital of 25.000 euros. If a sole trader is more appealing to you, this can also be an option especially for online based courier enterprises.
When setting up a company in Germany you will need to file an application with the German Trade Register, containing several files such as identification documents and the articles of association of the company as well as a proof of payment for the initial capital.
