Talk:GmbH

Pronounciation
How would we normally pronounce GmbH in English (any English) ? Do we normally strictly follows the German pronunciation as ~"gay-em-bay-ha" ? Or we just say it as it is English, ~"gee-em-bee-hesh" ?

If you had to pronounce all foreign abbreviations in its original language, you'd have to learn how to pronounce every alphabet in the world. As far as I know, most people don't do that. Just say it as it is in English. kallemax 23:25, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Stub-Class?
Is this article still a stub? This article is categorized under Germany stubs and Economics and finance stubs. However, it appears to me to be sufficiently long to warrant the removal of the stub claffification. But perhaps I am mistaken about how a stub is defined? What is the official definition?--Peter Knutsen 07:36, 3 March 2006 (UTC)


 * It's definitely no longer a stub - IMO. -- Ravn 10:16, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Swiss GmbH
For switzerland: It is compulsory under Swiss law that the GmbH has a minimum share capital of 20'000CHF upon  at least 10'000CHF  have to be contributed by the shareholders. To create a GmBH you musst have at least 2 shareholders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.138.185.34 (talk • contribs) 21:00, 7 April 2006

Format
The formatting of this article seems wrong. There is a very large slab of text at the start, covering practically everything about "GmbH", then the contents table about 3/4 of the way down, and the remainder is 3 or 4 very short sections. The page should have a brief intro at the top, then the contents table, then the bulk of it after that. 118.208.193.147 (talk) 15:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Table
I think a comparison table might help. This specific law falls under the laws of 3 different countries. Something like this I think would help. Kingjeff (talk) 05:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Please note!
"GmbH" -> Germany; Ges. m. b. H. -> Austria. I assure you that this is a 100% rule with no exceptions. There are NO GmbHs in Austria, nor are there any Ges. m. b. H.s in Germany. (That's where I'm living.) -andy 77.7.122.45 (talk) 01:00, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Correct - I'm living in Germany, and there ain't no Ges. m.b.H. 's here - each is specific to the particular cuontry, although I'm not sure about Switzerland! Maelli (talk) 16:23, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

In Austria both forms (GmbH and GesmbH) are common. As far as I know GesmbH is old/obsolete. Refer to GmbHG (GmbH-Gesetz / GmbH-Law) https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/GeltendeFassung.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&Gesetzesnummer=10001720

For regular GmbHs in Austria your liability is limited to at least € 35.000. € 17.500 have to be paid-in money (see GmbHG). There are privileged GmbHs where you liability is limited to € 10.000 and you have to pay in € 5.000. This privilege is valid over ten years. The usage of the privilege has to be stated in the company testamony (see GmbHG §10a)


 * The official phrase is, in I guess either case, Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung. How to abbreviate that is up to the entrepreneur, though it should be understandable. It does seem that "Ges. m. b. H." is uncommon in Germany, but that's that. And there's a lot of companies called, say, "Schneider Textilwarenhandelsgesellschaft mbH" in Germany.--2001:A61:260D:6E01:F58F:7BD6:B1DF:40FD (talk) 18:54, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Translation in to English for GmbH
Would it worth showing the translation into English for GmbH 'company with limited liability' at the top of the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephengulliver (talk • contribs) 06:52, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Split up by country
I think this article needs to be split up by country, since "German speaking countries" is a poor grouping, since Switzerland's GmbH are not the same as Germany's -- and an article on the Swiss GmbH/SARL already exists. — tooki (talk) 10:00, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
