Can you elaborate on that?
My tax adviser told me I should go for a Einzelunternehmen (especially use the Kleingewerbe during the first year) because of the reduced costs (registration costs 25EUR and thats it) and not having the overhead.
I’ve heard that registering a UG costs about ~500EUR + yearly costs of around 1500 EUR.
Given that this is during a beginning to try things out - without having too much money laying around to play with it.
Would definitely like to know about risks before getting myself into it.
- rorykoehler 6y agoI know enough smart people who have been pursued by the Finanzamt because their accountant and the Finanzamt had a different interpretation of the law.

If that's what you want to do, then a Einzelunternehmen (without Handelsregistereintrag) should be fine and less beaurocratic overhead. Especially for bootstrapping or side-projects it's always useful to have a Gewerbe registered. As long as you follow the best practices (specifying 0€ expected income in the first year, etc.) and don't try to do any financial trickery, Finanzamt also shouldn't be a problem. However once you start to turn a decent profit (100+k/year) and/or start to hire people, you will be required to do more bookkeeping anyway, at which point it makes sense to found a GmbH (or even two layered ones).
