Just did the same basically half an hour ago and it's a nightmare. It's just for a holding and a holding for a startup and it doesn't even generate any revenue until the startup shares are sold in an exit event.

Basically forces you to get a tax professional which is expensive not startup/founder friendly at all.

Of course, States don't want their citizens to pay the least possible amount of taxes, so they make it a nightmare to do so. This way, the state legally steals money from its citizens. Why do you think they called it "Elster"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_magpie#cite_ref-Opie1.... As we say: "Die diebische Elster".
