I want to start a new GmbH company in Germany for automation parts trading. I am from China mainland, I will go to Germany to manage the new company with my technical and market background. What should I prepare and how much will I have to pay? Is there any other I should do?

With regard to the actual formation procedure, the local Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) in the city of your choice is the first point of contact when intending to start your business in Germany. The IHK will be able to advise you on the required licenses, visa regulations, and so-called welcome packages that are available in the area.
