Business address in Frankfurt.

A business address is the address at which your company can be reached officially. It appears in the Handelsregister, in your trade registration, in the legal notice on your website and on your invoices. Authorities, courts and business partners send their post there.

Founders who start without an office often use their home address for this. Because the Handelsregister and the legal notice are public, it is then visible to everyone online. With a rented business address in Frankfurt, your home address stays private.

An address for service is one at which documents can be served on you, including post from courts and authorities. A PO box is not enough for this.

The firma.de business address in Frankfurt is an address for service and meets the requirements of § 8 Abs. 4 GmbHG and § 14 GewO. We receive your post there for you.

UGs and GmbHs state a domestic business address when they apply to the Handelsregister, the German commercial register (§ 8 Abs. 4 GmbHG). It is entered and visible to everyone.

If your company has its registered seat in Frankfurt, the Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main is responsible. The notary files the application electronically, so you do not have to go to the court yourself. If you move later, a notary registers the new address.

After registration, many companies receive post that looks like an official invoice but is an offer. Check who the sender is before you pay. In the digital mailbox, spam detection warns you.

Anyone who runs a trade registers it with the trade office (§ 14 GewO). In Frankfurt, that is the City of Frankfurt am Main. The registration states your company’s address. With the business address, it does not have to be your home.

Freelancers (Freiberufler) do not register a trade. They mainly need the address for their legal notice, invoices and the tax office. How the registration works is explained under trade registration.

The legal notice (Impressum) on your website must state an address at which you can be reached (§ 5 DDG). With the business address, it shows the Frankfurt address instead of your home address.

Every invoice must also show your full address (§ 14 UStG). An address at which you can be reached by post is enough for this.

For tax purposes, what counts is where you actually manage your business (§ 10 AO). A business address alone does not move that place.

Your business pays trade tax (Gewerbesteuer) in the municipality where it has a permanent establishment. In Frankfurt, the multiplier is 460%. A pure postal address is usually not a permanent establishment, so an address alone does not lower your trade tax.

The tax office sends your tax number and all tax assessments by post to the business address. How things look for you tax-wise is best clarified with a tax adviser.

The firma.de business address in Frankfurt costs €249 plus VAT a month, cancellable monthly, or €199 plus VAT a month with a yearly term. What you get is the same.
