Hey bunqers 🌈,
When opening your Business account in Germany, we might ask you for a Shareholders Register (in German: Gesellschafterliste or Liste der Gesellschafter). We ask for this document as part of our business verification and compliance process.
How can I get my Shareholders Register?
Option 1: Download it Online
You can easily get a copy from the official Handelsregister site:
Go to www.handelsregister.de
Search for your company
Select your business entry
Download the Gesellschafterliste (usually under “Dokumente” or “Veröffentlichungen”)
Cost: Free to view, ~€4.50 to download the official PDF.
Option 2: Ask Your Notary
If you recently founded your business or had ownership changes, your notary will have the latest version and can send it to you (digitally or by mail).
What is a Shareholders Register? (Gesellschafterliste)
The shareholders register is an official document listing all owners (shareholders) of a company, especially for:
GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung)
UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
It includes:
Full names and addresses of shareholders
Number and value of their shares (Stammeinlage)
Total capital share per person
Who needs a Gesellschafterliste?
Every GmbH or UG must have one. It is required by law and must be submitted to the Handelsregister (Commercial Register).
❗️ Note: Not required for sole proprietors (Einzelunternehmen).
