Manuelle Koordination zwischen Notaren, Registern und Finanzämtern – Verzögerung und Kapazitätsengpässe

Definition

Nonprofit registration in Germany requires sequential manual steps: (1) draft articles with notary, (2) deposit share capital (for gGmbH/gUG), (3) notary files with commercial register, (4) wait 3–8 weeks for register entry, (5) tax office approves charitable status (parallel or sequential), (6) Finanzamt notifies BZSt (automatic, but unpredictable timing). Each step has discrete timing and failure points. Notaries are capacity-constrained (average 2–4 week appointment wait in major cities); registers operate at varying speeds by jurisdiction; tax office approval is discretionary and unpredictable (6–12 week typical). For service providers managing 50–500+ registrations annually, this creates severe capacity constraints—staff spend 30–50% of time manually tracking register status, chasing notaries, and coordinating with tax offices instead of managing clients.
