The business object describes the scope of a GmbH’s activities as specified in its articles of association. It is among the details entered in the commercial register.
Meaning and context
The wording may cover several fields. It describes the company’s constitutional object rather than providing a complete report of every activity actually carried out.
What the documents show
A registered object does not replace a licence that may be required for a regulated activity. Nor does it establish that the company currently earns revenue in a particular field.
