We just went along with the advice given by our lawyer; and as I would be working initially at the one client, we felt the hassle attached to using an Einzelfirma would be too great - hence we went with a GmbH.
The cost mentioned (got from the govt website) for a GmbH is perhaps a little exaggerated - ISTR we paid about 1200 legal fees to our lawyer for drawing up the statutes and 2400 to the notary for the privilege of sitting in his plush office and using his fountain pen to sign the papers. But then our company setup was pretty "boilerplate" in nature.
I'd appreciate any other comments you may have BTW - just mail me privately if you don't want to take the thread too off-topic.
Cheers,
Nick
