“As a founder with a holding, I needed a business account that actually works the way I do. Holvi was the obvious choice: fast to set up, free business account, fully digital, and built for founders. Connecting it to Fideus for automated bookkeeping and annual statements was the final piece. No more chasing my tax advisor. No more year-end chaos. It just runs.”

FAQs – company formation with Holvi
With Holvi, you can start your business easily, quickly and 100% online. The process is seamless: from the creation of your founding documents and the online notary appointment to the opening of your Holvi business account for real-time deposit of share capital and immediate payment confirmation. And all this at no extra cost! Everything is handled in one place, so you can fully concentrate on your business idea.
beglaubigt.de is our partner and one of the leading experts for digital company formation in Germany. They ensure that your company formation process runs smoothly and is legally compliant. From drafting the contracts and scheduling a notary appointment to the commercial register entry. Together, we make your start into self-employment as easy as possible.
If you’re founding your GmbH or UG with us, we want to make your start as easy as possible. That’s why we’re waiving the account management fees for your Holvi business account for the first 6 months! This offer is exclusively available for our Holvi Lite and Holvi Pro pricing models.
- Save up to €90 – your discount is automatically credited to you.
- No account opening fees – your account is ready to use immediately.
- There are no capital contribution fees – the payment of your share capital is also possible without additional fees.
Our digital process guides you step by step through the incorporation process. Have the basic information about your company ready (such as name, registered office, and shareholders). The rest—from drafting the legal documents to booking your notary appointment—is handled directly in our guided process.
You can have your company notarised online. This requires the online ID function of your national identity card, electronic residence permit, or eID card.
After the appointment with the notary, all you need is your Holvi business account to deposit the share capital and authorise the commercial register entry.
You can create your founding documents in just 10 minutes. With express notary appointments, you can have your founding certificate certified in no time, allowing you to open your Holvi business account. There, you can deposit your share capital in real time and download the certificate. This allows the notary to immediately commission registration in the commercial register.
Our service is perfectly tailored to the founding of a UG (limited liability company) or a GmbH in Germany.
Depending on the package chosen (“Core,” “Plus,” or “Concierge”), different services are included – from standard articles of association and the registration of a managing director to customised contracts, verification of your desired name and business registration.
The prices of our formation packages cover the services related to the notarial appointment. Statutory notary fees and fees for registration in the Commercial and Transparency Register are billed separately and are additional.
The choice is yours! You can schedule your notary appointment online via video call or make an in-person appointment at a law firm. Whatever works best for you.
