Checking a UG: small capital, bigger questions

A UG can be registered with one euro of capital, so the register record is your best early-warning system: founding date, capital, directors and status flags, fetched live from €9.99.

One euro of liability cover is a real possibility

The UG's appeal to founders — near-zero capital — is precisely its risk for counterparties. If the company fails, creditors can only claim against company assets. Before extending credit or paying in advance, confirm the registered capital and check for dissolution or insolvency entries.

Also verify the suffix: a company registered as UG (haftungsbeschränkt) must not present itself as a GmbH. A mismatch between marketing and register is a classic fraud indicator.

Frequently asked questions

Is a UG riskier than a GmbH?

Structurally it can be: liability is limited to company assets, and those may be minimal. The registered capital and company age from the live extract tell you how much substance the form guarantees.

What red flags should I look for?

A very recent registration behind claims of long trading history, frequent director changes or seat relocations, liquidation or insolvency notes, and mismatches between website details and the register.

What exactly do I get?

A live structured record — name, HRB, seat, capital, directors, status — plus a branded PDF report by email, usually within minutes.
