    How We Deliver Excellence

    Our streamlined approach enables us to provide comprehensive holding management at exceptional value.

    01

    Simple Business Model

    By focusing on holdings without operational revenue, we can provide specialized, efficient service without complex operational accounting.

    No VAT declarations

    Holdings without VAT obligations allow us to streamline regulatory processes and focus on essential compliance requirements.

    03

    Holding other APX clients

    When holdings hold only other APX clients, we can provide seamless, coordinated service across your entire corporate structure.

    04

    Our partnership with Qonto enables automated data integration and real-time financial oversight across all your entities.

    These operational foundations enable our efficient service delivery and are a pre-requisite for this package.

    What does a holding cost at APX?

    What we handle

    Holding bookkeeping, HGB year-end statement, corporate- and trade-tax returns, loan and dividend flows between holding and operating company, Bundesanzeiger and Transparenzregister maintenance, annual shareholder meetings.

    Best time to set one up

    Ideally before Series A. Later contributions of existing shares are possible (e.g. §21 UmwStG book-value swap) but more complex. We advise on the right construction for your situation.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does a holding cost at APX?
    €2,500 per year for ongoing management — bookkeeping, year-end statement, corporate- and trade-tax returns, regulatory compliance. One fixed annual price, no hidden fees, no minimum term.
    When should I found a holding?
    Ideally before the operating GmbH gains significant value — typically pre-Series-A. Founding the holding first and then setting up the operating company underneath is the cleanest construction. Contributing existing shares later works (§21 UmwStG book-value swap) but is more complex.
    What does APX handle in ongoing holding management?
    Holding bookkeeping, HGB year-end statement, corporate- and trade-tax returns, Bundesanzeiger filing, flows between holding and operating company (loans, dividends), Transparenzregister updates, annual shareholder meetings and statement approvals.
    Does APX handle multi-tier holding structures?
    Yes. We manage the full structure — operating subsidiary, intermediate holdings, founder-holding — with separate year-end statements per entity and coordinated bookkeeping. Best results when all entities are APX clients on Qonto.
    Can existing GmbH shares be contributed to a holding later?
    Yes, but it requires care. §21 UmwStG enables a tax-neutral book-value swap if conditions are met (e.g. seven-year holding period). We advise on the right construction and file the required applications with the tax office.
    Who is my point of contact for the holding?
    A dedicated team of specialists — Steuerberater, accountant, advisory. Holding and operating-company workstreams share one Slack channel, so questions get answered in context.
    How does APX holding management differ from a classical tax advisor?
    We specialize in founder-holdings without operational revenue — clean books, no VAT, predictable annual scope. One fixed annual price instead of hourly billing. Classical tax advisors often treat holdings like generic GmbHs and price accordingly.
