Gesellschaftsvertrag-Generator

The articles of association are the foundation of every company: they set out who is involved, who contributes how much, who may manage, how profits are shared and what happens if someone leaves or falls into dispute. Writing this contract from scratch without knowing the peculiarities of each legal form is risky - and that is where the generator steps in, holding the right building blocks ready for each legal form.

Seven legal forms are covered: the GmbH and its limited-liability little sister the UG, the partnerships GbR, OHG and KG, the stock corporation AG and the registered club. Each has its own requirements - the GmbH needs share capital and managing directors, the KG distinguishes general and limited partners, the club needs bylaws with a stated purpose. The generator knows these differences and shows the right fields.

At its core sits a clause library. Instead of adopting a rigid model text, you assemble the contract from individual clauses: management and representation, shareholders’ meeting, resolutions, non-compete, transfer restrictions on shares, succession, severance on departure and more. Each clause is a deliberate building block you add or leave out.

For a quick start there are presets: typical constellations like the single-person GmbH, the classic two-shareholder GmbH or the family KG, which sensibly pre-fill clauses, share capital and shareholder structure. Pick a preset, adjust names, contributions and shares, and you have a viable draft in minutes.

You manage the shareholders with name, contribution and share, so the capital split is consistent and the sum of contributions matches the share capital. The live preview shows the complete contract as you edit, so you have the finished document in front of you instead of filling in fields blindly.

A clear framing: a GmbH or AG articles of association must be notarized before the company is entered in the commercial register. The generator gives you a thought-through draft to arrive at the notary well prepared - but it replaces neither the notarization nor the legal advice. For drafting and understanding the clauses it is a strong tool; the final responsibility rests with the notary and lawyer.
