After reservation you will receive from us:
√ Questionnaire on acquisition of the shelf AG
√ Notification of registration from the commercial register
√ Certificate of incorporation and articles of association
√ Company's current account statement
Upon receipt of the completed questionnaire, you will receive a personalized draft of a purchase and assignment agreement for acquisition of the shares. You return the signed copies to us and the contract is concluded with our countersignature.
You can transfer the purchase price for the shelf AG to a FORIS account. If you want to make a quick payment, we recommend an instant/express transfer.
Alternatively, an attorney or tax advisor approved in Germany can provide us with confirmation of the purchase price payment deposited in his or her escrow account. The prerequisite is the previous, clearly declared purpose of such forwarding to us or a written, irrevocable and unconditional undertaking. In these cases the purchase price increases by EUR 200 to cover our additional expenses.
Once the purchase price has been paid or its payment has been secured, we ensure free availability of the full share capital on the company’s account.
The originals of the sale and corporate documents as well as the bank confirmation of complete payment of the share capital will be sent to your notary by courier.
At the AG we exchange the previous corporate officers in accordance with your specifications.
You make an appointment with a notary of your choice. There, the necessary changes in the articles of association are notarized – in particular the change of name and the new corporate purpose.
Your notary now submits registration of all of the changes for entry in the commercial register and sends us a simple copy of the deeds.
We wish you much success with your public limited company!
Yes. As soon as you are registered as a shareholder of the corporation and you have additionally seen to the legitimisation at the founding bank or opened a new corporate bank account, you are free to increase the capital of the corporation.
If you have reserved an AG then you will receive an email from FORIS with general samples and company specific information.
In addition, you will also find a questionnaire attached with this email which you should complete and send or return by email to FORIS. You will also receive the payment details which you need for transferring the purchase price to FORIS.
Even though the acquisition of a public limited company does not require a transfer of shares needing certification, you will still need a notary appointment at a notary’s office of your choice to complete the acquisition.
Once FORIS has received the purchase price and the questionnaire, we arrange for the company documents to be sent to the notary by overnight courier.
At the notary appointment, the notarial entry of the changes to the company (company trading name, managing director and others) in the commercial register proceeds. Once the new managing director has been entered in the commercial register, s/he can now apply for the capital or the company bank account to be transferred. For this purpose, please contact your commercial bank.
