Registration

The registration in the commercial register refers to the official register entry of a legally significant fact of a company, such as formation, change of company name, or dissolution. Each registration - distinguished into new registration, change registration, and deletion - is carried out upon application by authorized representatives and is thoroughly examined by the competent registry court. After a positive examination, the court executes the register entry, assigns it a date and serial number, and publishes it online in the joint register portal, thereby triggering the statutory publicity effect according to § 15 HGB. This provides third parties with protection of trust, as they can rely on the accuracy of the disclosed data. For entrepreneurs, registration means not only legal certainty but also transparency towards business partners, banks, and authorities. Whether it's the formation of a GmbH, a change of company name, a change of managing director, or company dissolution - these measures only gain legal effectiveness with proper registration. Those preparing a commercial register entry should ensure correct application documents, notarized signatures, and payment of court fees to avoid inquiries from the registry court and delays.
