The 5 best books on founding a GmbH & company {reading tip}

A GmbH is usually founded when several people work together Companys but also for individuals, the effort can pay off. We tested current guides on the topic.

The perfect advice to the founding of the company

Who wants a GmbH or even GmbH and Co KG reasons, needs one thing above all: good advice. It can be expensive if it comes from a lawyer or accountant. Can current advisers remedy this situation? I have read 5 play - from cheap to expensive, for lawyers and dummies.

First of all, the ideal book does not exist. And the books can provide entry, but not replace advice. This is mainly because they can not handle isolated cases and peculiarities - which books never actually do. Nevertheless, there are differences.

Good value, simple, good

For me, the smallest, simplest and cheapest book is also the best at the same time - and that's not just because the best of HR - Berufebilder.de® author Reinhard Schinkel, according to Handelsblatt one of Germany's best tax consultants, is the author; indirectly this is of course an argument, because the quality of his blog contributions continues in the book:

But the title “The taxation of GmbH light made” keeps what it promises: on 220 pages, the book in the handy DIN A5 format deals with the most important tax issues on the subject of GmbHFoundation – and always from a practical point of view Perspektive and from (potential) Ask of the reader. Despite the compact presentation, the author manages to treat the subject with astonishing precision. Square, practical, good.

How to found a GmbH and Co. KG?

In second place on this small hit list, if you want to call it that, the most expensive and thickest of the five books: “Die GmbH und Co. KG” by Heidemarie Wagner and Hans-Joachim Rux covers practically all aspects of GmbH and Co. KG from the establishment up to the dissolution systematically under corporate and tax law aspects.

These include the changes made by the "GmbH-Reform" (MoMiG) with the introduction of the limited liability company (Mini-GmbH), the simplification of standard foundations, the easier division, merging and transferring of business shares, as well as all changes to the company tax reform, including the reform of the corporation tax and the Trade tax and finally the most important changes to the inheritance tax reform.

From detailed to superficial

A very detailed book, but no light fare: It is built rather as a legal reference work with numerous patterns, judgments and laws (also as a CD-ROM) and is therefore aimed primarily at specialists in commercial and corporate law as well as law-savvy laymen. Nevertheless, if you want to deal extensively with the topic of GmbH and Co. KG, this book is recommended. After all, starting up a business also has a lot to do with legal issues that a business owner should also address in Spe.

In the same price range, but a touch more superficial is “The KG and the GmbH and Co. KG: Law, Taxation, Design Practice” by Michael Preißer and Matthias Rönn. It handles fairly similar aspects to Wagner's competition, however clear more general. Questions under tax law are touched upon, but not deepened by the current case law. A plus point: the language is much simpler and less subject-specific.

The perspective of the CEO

The "GmbH CEO" by Christian Kühn is similar in general: The book deals with the rights and obligations of a GmbH manager, such as requirements and appointment of the manager, employment contract, social security and pension, the recall, termination, etc as well as liability and avoidance of liability up to criminal liability.

Especially the liability risks are for many when founding a GmbH for sure a very important aspect: what I am missing in this book, however, is above all more detailed explanations on tax aspects. Nevertheless, it is of course important to also take into account the special requirements of the managing director. The language is quite dry.

GmbH for Dummies?

"GmbH Managing Director" is much more relaxed for dummies - that's what the title already promises. On 360 pages, Claudia Ossola-Haring deals with a complex topic in a simple, relaxed and understandable way. Checklists and icons make it easier to read.

Great, that you can also address a legal specialist. Manko is for me again that the topic of tax law is largely spared.

Conclusion

It turns out that each of the presented books deals with the topic for a different target group and with a different focus. Therefore, a comparison is probably difficult and purely subjective.

Especially since it is the perfect guide for everyone simply does not exist. This is likely to be an individual, albeit much more expensive, consultation.
