If you need a new GmbH really fast you can just buy one. There are companies and lawyers that are specialized in this kind of business and they keep a pool of registered GmbHs for founders to buy.

If you look up GmbHs in the central registry (Handelsregister) you will notice that many of them were founded by law firms and sold after a couple of months to the real founders. This is true even for (now) bigger and reputable companies.

It happens in Spain as well. I remember some time ago when airlines had paper magazines, there was a huge section just fur this. Not limited to Spain, but also UK companies.

If you need to incorporate and have money, you don't need to wait to start doing business.
