Instead, 25% of the company\u2019s profits must be contributed to its reserves each year until those reserves sum up to a total \u20ac25,000, at which point the company converts to a standard GmbH. This means that less capital is at stake until the business is successful and generate profits, reducing our Client\u2019s risk and decreasing the cost of capital; and<\/li><li>CLA Consultants Group recommends the UG company formation to entrepreneurs who are trying to set up a business in Germany. The UG has earned the nickname \u201cmini-GmbH\u201d thanks to having the same limits on its liability and no restrictions on the business it can undertake, while removing the requirement of having \u20ac25,000 in share capital.
