Change of purpose
If you change the company's purpose, there are a few things you need to consider. We are happy to support you in this.
Firstly, it is important that the company's purpose is neither too generic nor too detailed. For this purpose, you are welcome to send us the new purpose either in the form of keywords or as a pre-formulated text. We will check your information and ensure that the new purpose can be registered. If we need to make any changes to the purpose, we will inform you immediately.
Secondly, it is important that the purpose of your company and the company name do not contradict each other. For example, Hotel Post AG cannot include the manufacture of furniture as its sole purpose. However, it is not a problem if Hotel Post AG also wants to operate a restaurant as part of its business, although this was not explicitly listed in the purpose.
To ensure that their purpose can be registered in this way, we also check whether the purpose has been formulated neutrally. Promotional texts are usually rejected by the Commercial Register. To avoid a costly subsequent certification, we will also inform you in advance in such cases.
We are happy to support you in adapting your company's purpose. Below we have summarised the three most important points for this mutation for you:
- Avoid phrases that are too generic or too detailed.
- The company name and the company purpose cannot conflict with each other.
- Promotional texts in the company purpose will not be approved by the trade register.
You are welcome to give us your desired purpose either in full or in keywords. We will check the purpose for you and, if necessary, make adjustments for you.
