\n\t\t\t\t

A GmbH is managed and legally represented by its managing directors (Gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrer). The corporation must have at least one managing director which can be a legal or a natural person.<\/p>\n

The managing director does not have to be a shareholder or a German resident and may receive an income for carrying out his duties, although this is not required by law.<\/p>\n

The shareholders have the power to exercise direct influence on the GmbH's management by issuing binding instructions or directions to the managing director. When no binding instructions are given, the managing director is free to act.<\/p>\n

If the domestic subsidiary, branch office, permanent business establishment or representative office in Germany is to be headed by foreign nationals, the applicable immigration regulations relating to entry and residence must be observed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
