What is a Kommanditgesellschaft (KG)?

The Kommanditgesellschaft (KG) is a limited partnership with two types of partners: the general partner (Komplementär, with unlimited liability) and the limited partner (Kommanditist, whose liability is capped at their contribution). This structure is ideal if you want to bring in investors with limited risk.

Advantages of the KG at a glance:

  • Limited liability for limited partners
  • No minimum share capital required
  • Flexible partnership agreement
  • Investors can participate without full liability
  • No separate corporate income tax at partnership level

General partner vs. limited partner

The KG distinguishes between two types of partners with different rights and obligations.

General partner (Komplementär)

Fully liable partner

  • Unlimited liability with private assets
  • Management and representation authority
  • Active role in the business
  • At least one general partner required
Limited liability

Limited partner (Kommanditist)

Liability capped at the contribution

  • Liability only up to the amount of the contribution
  • No management authority
  • Capital-providing/investing role
  • Control rights and profit participation

Limited liability in the KG

The KG offers a unique combination of personal leadership and limited investor risk.

Set the liability amount

The limited partner's liability contribution is entered in the commercial register and caps their risk.

Protect investors

You let capital providers participate without taking on full entrepreneurial risk.

GmbH as general partner

With a GmbH & Co KG, the general partner's liability can be limited as well.

Commercial register requirements

The KG must be entered in the commercial register (Firmenbuch). Both the general partners and the limited partners are recorded, along with each limited partner's liability contribution.

  • Registered business address as the partnership's seat
  • Partnership agreement with liability contributions
  • Certified signatures of all partners
  • Statement of each limited partner's liability contribution

Frequently asked questions about forming a KG

What is a GmbH & Co KG?

In a GmbH & Co KG, the general partner (the fully liable partner) is a GmbH. This means the unlimited liability is also limited to the assets of the GmbH.

How high does the limited partner's contribution have to be?

There is no statutory minimum for the limited partner's contribution. The partners can set the amount freely in the partnership agreement.

Can a limited partner be a managing director?

No, the limited partner generally has no management or representation rights. These rest with the general partner. A commercial power of attorney (Prokura) is possible, however.

When is a limited partner liable beyond their contribution?

A limited partner is only liable beyond their liability contribution if they have not fully paid in their contribution or if contributions have been repaid to them.

Can the virtual office address be used as the KG's seat?

Yes, our address is suitable as the official seat for your KG. You receive a contract to submit to the commercial register court.
