Rechtsanwalt Boris Zimmermann

You are a non-European citizen, and you plan to run your own business in Germany and live here, alone or together with your family? Everybody is entitled to set up and own a company in Germany, it does not matter which passport you hold.

As a Syrian, Egyptian, Iraqi, Kuwaiti, Yemeni, Chinese, Mexican, Saudi, Colombian or any other citizen, you are perfectly able to own a company and do business in Germany. Establishing a company can also facilitate your move to Germany and your ongoing residence here. Send your children to free German schools or universities, use the medical system, and apply for a German passport if you want to become a part of Germany. We can support you and your family on your way to Germany.
