A German address for your market entry
Companies from abroad that want to serve customers in Germany often start with a local address before they hire staff or rent space. A virtual office in Grünwald, just south of Munich, gives you a German business address, a Munich phone number and rooms for meetings with customers and partners.

Commercial register and trade office
Commercial register entry and trade registration
The address in Grünwald can be registered with the commercial register (Handelsregister). It can serve as the registered seat and business address of a GmbH, UG or other registered company and as the business premises for trade registration.
The steps depend on your legal form and starting point:
- New company
- The registered seat and business address are stated in the articles of association and in the application to the commercial register. A notary certifies the application and files it with the Local Court of Munich, which keeps the register for Grünwald.
- Moving the seat
- An existing company can move its registered seat to Grünwald. For a GmbH the shareholders resolve to amend the articles of association. The resolution is notarised and filed for registration.
- Trade registration
- Businesses register their trade (Gewerbeanmeldung) with the trade office of the municipality of Grünwald. Firmensitz Grünwald assists with the trade registration and can handle the visits to the authorities for you.
- Branch of a foreign company
- A foreign company can also register a branch in Germany. Whether a subsidiary or a branch suits you better is a question for your legal and tax advisers.
If required, Firmensitz Grünwald arranges short-notice appointments with notaries, tax advisers and lawyers. This does not include legal or tax advice.
Who it is for
Who benefits from a virtual office in Grünwald
A virtual office is a good fit if you need a permanent business address in Germany but do not want or need to rent an office of your own.
-
International companies
Foreign companies entering the German market get a local address, a Munich phone number and meeting rooms, without signing a long-term lease.
-
Founders
Anyone founding a GmbH or UG needs a business address from day one. A virtual office keeps the company separate from your private home and avoids a long office lease.
-
Freelancers and consultants
If you work at client sites or from home, an address with mail handling is often all the infrastructure you need. You book a meeting room only when a meeting is due.
-
Expansion within Germany
Companies that want to establish a presence in the Munich area start with address, phone and meeting room and add a private or team office at the same location later.
Trade tax
Trade tax in Grünwald: figures and limits
German municipalities levy trade tax (Gewerbesteuer) using their own multiplier, the Hebesatz. Grünwald has one of the lowest in the Munich area, which is why many companies take a closer look at the location. What matters, however, is not the address but where the company is actually managed.

Important
An address alone does not move your trade tax
Trade tax is due in the municipality in which a company maintains a permanent establishment (Betriebsstätte). The key factor is the place of actual management, meaning where the essential business decisions are really taken. A mere mailing address does not create a permanent establishment.
To pay trade tax in Grünwald, the company has to be managed there in practice, for example from its own office or a regularly used workplace. If the company has further establishments, in Munich for instance, the tax base is split between the municipalities, usually according to the wages paid at each location. For foreign companies, the question of whether a German permanent establishment exists at all also depends on double taxation treaties.

FAQ
Questions and answers about a virtual office in Grünwald
What is the difference between a virtual office and a business address?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Both mean an address at which your company can be reached and receive mail without permanently occupying a room there. A virtual office usually adds services such as mail handling, a phone service and access to meeting rooms.
Can the address be entered in the German commercial register?
Yes. The address in Grünwald can be registered with the commercial register and is valid for service of legal documents. It can be entered as the registered seat and business address of a company and used for trade registration.
Do I have to travel to Germany to set up my company?
Usually not. Company formation, visits to public authorities and the required registrations can normally be handled by power of attorney. Notarial steps have their own requirements, which the notary will explain to you.
Does an address in Grünwald automatically reduce my trade tax?
No. For tax purposes, what counts is where the company is actually managed and where it has a permanent establishment. An address alone is not enough. Please clarify with your tax adviser whether Grünwald is relevant for your company from a tax perspective.
What is the trade tax multiplier in Grünwald?
In 2026 it is 240 %. From the 2027 assessment period a statutory minimum multiplier of 280 % applies throughout Germany (§ 16 (4) GewStG), so Grünwald will then be at least 280 %. For comparison, Munich applies 490 %.
How quickly is the virtual office ready?
Usually within 24 hours of signing the contract. Entries in the commercial register or with the trade office depend on the processing times of the respective authorities.
What happens to my mail?
Your mail is received and processed in Grünwald. Depending on the services you book, it is kept for you, scanned and forwarded digitally, or sent on to you.
