Which Uses Are Reviewed Before the Contract Is Signed
Trade registration and commercial register entry
Before entering into a contract, M17 reviews whether the intended use for trade registration or a commercial register entry is compatible with the service. The assessment takes into account the company’s business activity, its current situation and the intended use of the address.
Following a successful preliminary review, the address may be designated for the agreed use. The responsible public authority or register ultimately decides whether a trade registration or commercial register entry is accepted.
Further information on the relevant terminology and formal requirements is available in the article on business addresses for trade registration and commercial register entries..
Registered office and branch office
Any intended use as a company’s registered office or as the address of a branch office is also reviewed before the contract is signed. The assessment does not depend solely on the legal form or type of company. The specific business activity and intended use of the location are also relevant.
M17 does not provide legal, tax or company formation advice. The responsible authorities, registers and, where necessary, the company’s professional advisers remain responsible for the formal assessment.
Can the Business Address Be Used as a Valid Address for Service?
Marienplatz 17 is a physical address with a dedicated mailbox, company signage and mail acceptance. Whether it can be used as a valid business address for the service of legal documents for a specific purpose is assessed during the preliminary review.
This does not constitute a general guarantee that the address will be accepted or registered by the relevant authorities.
How incoming Mail Is Handled
A typical scenario: a company operates mainly remotely. Its website, invoices and letterhead display the new Munich address. A few days later, the first official letter arrives at Marienplatz 17.
The Mail Process Consists of Three Steps
- The item is accepted at the location.
- It is assigned to the correct company.
- It is held for collection or processed using the agreed additional service.
Collection, Forwarding or Scanning
Collection in person is included in the standard package. Companies whose representatives are regularly in Munich can collect incoming mail directly from the location.
Mail forwarding and scanning are available as optional services. The appropriate option is agreed in advance based on your working arrangements and expected volume of mail.
Further information is available in the article on mail acceptance, forwarding and scanning services.
Registered Mail and Parcels
Registered mail that does not require a signature can be accepted. Parcels are accepted only by prior agreement.
The business address service is not designed for daily goods deliveries, high parcel volumes, storage or shipping fulfilment.
A typical distinction: a professional-services company occasionally receives documents or a parcel that has been agreed in advance. By contrast, a trading or e-commerce company with continuous incoming goods requires dedicated storage and logistics infrastructure.
Five Steps to Setting Up Your Business Address
A business address is not established through an unqualified instant purchase. Before the contract is signed, M17 assesses the intended use, the company and its operational requirements.
- Describe Your Business Activity and Intended Use of the Address
You provide information about your business model and how you plan to use the address. - Verify the Company and Identity
The information and documents required for the preliminary client review are specified during the process. - Clarify Your Mail and Meeting Requirements
M17 assesses whether the standard package is sufficient or whether additional services are required. - Agree the Conditions and Availability
The package, price and possible organisational start date are coordinated. - Set Up the Mailbox, Company Signage and Mail Handling Process
Following a successful review and agreement, your company’s physical presence at the location is prepared.
This process determines before the contract is signed whether the intended use of the address, the selected package and the mail handling arrangements are compatible.
Business address or Business Address Plus?
The Business Address package for €249 net per month focuses on the physical address and mail handling.
