Change

We also support the companies after the start-up phase.

Amendments to the articles of association of a GmbH (§ 53 para. 2 sentence 1 GmbHG) must be notarized. This also includes capital measures such as capital increases, the creation of authorized capital, capital reductions and other capital measures. The sale and the obligation to sell GmbH shares must also be notarized (Section 15 (3) and (4) GmbHG). If the notary was involved in a change to the shares, he must, in accordance with § 40 Para. 2 GmbHG to draw up and certify a new list of shareholders.

Typical other fields in which notaries must be involved in the life of a GmbH are, for example: Branches, changes to the management (changes to the persons of the managing directors, the power of representation); change of shareholders and new business formation, company agreements of a GmbH, dissolution and liquidation of a GmbH, the continuation of a GmbH.

However, the redemption of shares and the division and merger of shares are not subject to mandatory notarization (§ 46 No. 4 GmbHG). The dissolution of the company is also not subject to notarization. Of course, these changes must be registered in the commercial register.
