Our story

Since 2016, focused on company formation and innovation.

West Consultings was founded in 2016 around company formation and innovation — helping founders and investors who want to set up and grow startups and companies in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. That focus is still the core of what we do today.

We work with founders building their first German entity and with investors backing the next one — holding the structure, the register filings and the banking relationships in one place, so building the business stays the founder's job, not ours.

Principles

How we work.

Working through a client's setup together
01

Accountability over agency

We are your operating partner, not a vendor. One point of contact across every workstream.

02

Substance over shells

We will not stand up structures we cannot defend. Every entity has real people behind it.

03

Plain language

Tax codes, legal opinions, regulatory letters — we translate, we do not obfuscate.

04

Long-term clients

Year-two retention is the only metric that matters. We are built for the second decade.

Partner network

We don’t pretend to do everything in-house. We orchestrate the best — accountable to you.

Tax & accounting

Steuerberater, Treuhänder and Austrian tax advisors

Legal

Corporate, IP and immigration counsel in all three markets

Banking

Relationship managers at German, Swiss and Austrian institutions

Let’s talk about where you want to build.

Thirty minutes with a strategist. You’ll leave with a structured plan and a candid view of timelines, costs and trade-offs across all three jurisdictions.
