Practical analysis of Austrian and German company structures, non-resident formation, banking, ownership, taxation and European market entry.
We don't begin with the jurisdiction we want to sell. We begin with the ownership, activity, customers, directors, funding and operating model the business actually needs.
How accounting profit becomes taxable income, what the 23 per cent rate applies to, how losses are used, and what happens when profit is retained or distributed.

Owners, directors, customers, employees, contracts, funding and the actual management location.
Registration does not guarantee banking, VAT registration, licences or commercial acceptance.
Tax rates matter, but so do capital, governance, personnel, accounting, compliance and extra entities.

Ownership, activity, target markets, directors, funding and current entities — and we identify the formation, structuring and market-entry questions that need answers.
