Is your German UG or GmbH still in the founding phase? No problem! At Holvi we offer founder accounts to businesses with headquarters in Germany that have chosen UG or GmbH as their company form.
Note: Unfortunately, we cannot offer founder accounts for Austrian companies.
In order to guarantee a carefree and smooth process, we kindly ask you to carefully read the information below. If you would like to open a founder account with Holvi, please complete this form and follow the instructions below to start verification of your company.
Before you can register for the Holvi founder account, we would like to give you some additional information about the founder account. In addition, we also need to review your business in accordance with our verification standards.
Important information about the procedure of the founder account
The account can only be used after successful company verification (with the trade register extract). Before that:
- The only payments that can be made from the account are payments to the notary
- Incoming payments (other than depositing the share capital) are not accepted
- Your account will be terminated immediatelyif the IBAN is used for any other activities (e.g. incoming payments, direct debit,...)
- You can only choose the Starter or Builder pricing for your founder account. The pricing model can be changed with immediate effect once the company is founded and has been fully verified.
- You cannot order a Holvi Business Mastercard
- If you don’t have a VAT ID yet, please do not tick the box for VAT Liability - this can be activated later, when you have received your VAT number.
- Choose your correct Register Court and input register number 123456789
Personal Verification
During the account opening, you will be prompted to go through a video chat with ID-Now to verify your identity.
Founding documents UG and GmbH
In the next step, we need your founding documents, which you can easily upload into your account after account opening. After successful account creation, we will add the note "in founding" to your account and your company for the duration of the founding process.
Once your identity has been verified and we have reviewed your company and founding documents according to our verification standards, we will be pleased to provide you with your IBAN in order to transfer the share capital to your Holvi account.
