Selling a limited liability company (UG) with a real estate brokerage license pursuant to § 34c

Would you like to start working as a real estate agent right away? Would you like to start your own real estate company with as little as 1 euro in share capital, begin working as a real estate agent from home, and build your business step by step? Have you had trouble obtaining a real estate agent’s license under Section 34c of the German Trade Regulation Act (GewO)? By purchasing and taking over the UG, you no longer need to apply for a real estate agent’s license. The advantage: - You no longer have to pay anything to obtain the real estate broker’s license, and if previous applications for the license have been rejected, or if it is foreseeable that the requirements for granting the license cannot be met for whatever reason, acquiring the UG would be the solution—allowing you, through the acquisition of the UG, and then, immediately after the acquisition, to be able to focus on real estate brokerage services. Since the name of the UG must be assumed in order for the real estate broker’s license to be transferred, please note that the UG’s logo—which I have used over the past few years and which continues to be used under a different company name—cannot be assumed by the buyer upon purchase. The buyer may not use the logo in connection with the name of the UG. This must be specified in the purchase agreement.

Buying a company vs. buying a firm

Buying a company means acquiring an independent organizational unit that regularly carries out an economic activity. A company can consist of one or several business operations. An individual can also found such an independent unit if they regularly carry out an economic activity — in that case it is called a sole proprietorship. As a rule, sole proprietors don't have to register in the commercial register; without that registration, they don't legally count as a "firm." A trade name, colloquially a "firm," is the name under which a company or sole proprietor appears publicly and conducts its business. Buying "a firm" therefore technically means acquiring the company's name or trading name. In everyday use, though, it's used interchangeably with buying a company — i.e. acquiring the entire business.
