Implementing essential legal foundations from the beginning helps startups start off optimally secured and avoid later unnecessary legal problems and high legal costs. The Startup Package efficiently and cost-effectively covers the areas of Corporate Setup, Contracts, Regulatory, IP, and HR, including personal consultation and legal documents tailored perfectly to the startup.
About the Package
The founding process is included in the Startup Package. We recommend that all founders clarify the most important legal foundations before founding their company, as this not only saves time but also reduces costs compared to individual inquiries. Experience shows that sooner or later, all five legal areas included in the package can become challenging.
Target Audience

What do I need to know about starting a business?
The right legal form depends heavily on the business model. If there is a financial risk, we always recommend founding the company in the form of a legal entity. Often, an Ltd. is sufficient at the beginning. However, once you start looking for investors, conversion to a PLC is usually necessary.
We always recommend one whenever you undertake the project with at least one other person. This can help avoid many conflicts and allow you to focus on what is essential for the company.
IP is one of the most important potential competitive advantages for rapidly growing companies. Depending on the business model, IP can be, for example, an invention, software, design, a brand, or special data. Depending on the type of IP, there are different ways to protect it, whether through patents, trademarks, copyright, or simply through confidentiality.
In addition to employment contracts for employees, a shareholder agreement between the founders and a solid standard contract for your own services are crucial.
In addition to the legally mandatory requirements for social security, it is particularly important that the IP created by the employees actually belongs to the company and that you have a legally secure employment contract – legal disputes with employees are among the most common court cases.
