Germany is a leading investment location with the biggest market in Europe.
Bank accounts may be held in any foreign currency. There are no general laws governing the set-up of a German legal entity by a foreign company. In addition, Germany has access to European markets, a highly qualified labour force and outstanding technological know-how. It is also a world leader in the manufacturing industry, producing high level and top-quality industrial production. Overall, Germany has economic and political stability as well as a reliable legal framework, creating a highly attractive business environment.
