The lawyers Dr. Olaf Kropp, Moritz Knebusch and Christoph Haß of PwC talked about different legal forms and which are appropriate in what context. Different example cases were used to illustrate which legal form or which tax negotiation strategies are most suitable for considering a start-up idea from a tax-relevant perspective.
During and after the theoretical part, the participants could ask various questions about their (planned) foundation projects. The interest in the topic was great, and even after the event the specific questions of the founders were still discussed. It was interesting that many questions were asked about the legal form gGmbH and the foundation of an association in the field of social entrepreneurship.
All in all, this ProLab ended as an event that is important for every founder right at the beginning of his or her start-up journey.
We would like to thank Olaf, Moritz and Christoph for the entertaining workshop!
Key Learnings:
- tax and legal advice is already an important topic before the company is founded
- the advantages and disadvantages of the respective choice of legal form were illustrated and discussed on the basis of case studies
- individual consultation to the respective projects of the participants within the workshop were very helpful, because the other founders could learn along
