Germany Company Namecheck

Company names in the Germany must be pre-approved for availability and acceptability.

The company name will be checked at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We then need confirmation from the German Register of Companies 'Handelsregister'. There are more than 400 local Registers of Companies in Germany and several Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

The Germany Registry will only refuse a name if it is identical, almost identical or phonetically the same as a name already registered or implies state sponsorship. Use of certain words such as Bank, Insurance and Group will require special permission.

Germany company name suffixes

In normal cases, the suffix 'Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung' or the abbreviation GmbH must always be appended to the company designation. In cases where the company has formed as a UG, the suffix 'Unternehmensgesellschaft' must be used, until the company becomes a full GmbH.
