What are the first steps to take when setting up a business in Germany?

First, you need to have a clear idea of the type of business
you want to establish.

Your employees are the essence of your business. Ensuring their safety should be your priority, but you should also familiarize yourself with everything related to hiring and firing them, paying them, and withholding taxes. Also, if an employee is not performing as expected, you should know your legal options. This is why it becomes vital to establish protocols and sign contracts that spell out the mechanisms to be used in the event their dismissal becomes a necessity.

Why is corporate law important?

Every business owner should have a basic knowledge and understanding of business law. This will make them better at making decisions, defining acceptable or unacceptable behavior, knowing how to protect their employees and customers, and be prepared to set up mechanisms to resolve disputes.

You should also be aware that contracts will be involved in many aspects of your business, whether you need them with partners, employees, or customers. There are always a wide variety of legal issues that arise in the day-to-day running of a business. Working with a business lawyer will give you peace of mind and make you feel more comfortable when making decisions. You will also have a trusted advisor when identifying potential legal problems.
