Did you read that link I mentioned in my other mail? http://www.bnotk.de/Notar/Notarkosten/Berechnungsbeispiel/Handelsregister.html "Die Höchstgebühr für eine Beglaubigung ohne Entwurf beträgt 130 €." The maximum fee for an accreditation without a draft is 130 €. That's the DIY thing of course. What exactly are the risks there? > Unfortunately, you can't get three written quotes from three different > laywers and go with the middle quote. They just don't work that way. And you don't have to, since the law requires them all to change a prescribed fee. As long as you give them the same details, their quote would be exactly the same.
"bzw. bei einer Beglaubigung mit Entwurf eine halbe Gebühr nach §§ 145 Abs. 1, 38 Abs. 2 Nr. 7 KostO 13 €," In case of an accreditation with draft one half fee according to §§ 145 Abs. 1, 38 Abs. 2 Nr. 7 KostO 13 €. That "half fee" would probably be the problem you mentioned, see below...

Ah, ok. There's the point. As soon as you're no longer non-profit (re: marketing), you're playing in quite another league. As soon as you try to register a commercial enterprise, the fees are much higher, in the range you mentioned at least, if not more (that depends on the estimated commercial value). In that case, someone British or Irish founding a Ltd. might be the best solution?
