Built by operators
for operators.
Since 2016, we've helped founders and investors set up and grow startups and companies in Germany — one accountable partner instead of a scattered bench of advisors.
Since 2016, focused on company formation and innovation.
West Consulting 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. 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.
Three markets. One team.
GmbH & UG formation, accounting and payroll — headquartered in Bad Homburg
GmbH & AG formation with resident-director arrangements via vetted partners
GmbH & FlexKapG formation with notary and Firmenbuch handling
How we work.
Accountability over agency
We are your operating partner, not a vendor. One point of contact across every workstream.
Substance over shells
We will not stand up structures we cannot defend. Every entity has real people behind it.
Plain language
Tax codes, legal opinions, regulatory letters — we translate, we do not obfuscate.
Long-term clients
Year-two retention is the only metric that matters. We are built for the second decade.
We don’t pretend to do everything in-house. We orchestrate the best — accountable to you.
Steuerberater, Treuhänder and Austrian tax advisors
Corporate, IP and immigration counsel in all three markets
Relationship managers at German, Swiss and Austrian institutions
Family offices, fund partners and §34d brokers
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.
