Incorporating a limited company in Germany

There is missing ("Gewerbeamt") and partially wrong information there (the 17.500 VAT thing), so use with caution!

My best advice: get a tax-guy. They do all this crap and more and while they come with a price (German tax laws are no laughing matters) it's money well spent and also acts as security because said tax-guy shoulders a lot of accountability (pun intended).

Get a good tax guy. And therein lies the problem. No matter if you pick lawyers, doctors, tax advisors: 4 out of 5 are incompetent.

You're right, that's the simple and valuable one-sentence advise for anyone starting a business in Germany, and I can only repeat it: get a tax advisor. Trust me, it'll pay for itself.
