Convertible loan agreements play an important role above all in the area of venture capital financing – whether at the very beginning as part of early-stage financing or also later in the growth phase, for example for interim financing between two investment rounds.

A recent decision by the Zweibrücken Higher Regional Court could provide a degree of legal certainty.
“If you think compliance is expensive, try non-compliance” – this much-quoted statement by former U.S. Attorney Paul McNulty makes it clear why it pays off to establish an appropriate compliance system as a preventive measure, even from a company’s point of view.

Usufruct arrangements allow the separation of assets and income of an entrepreneurial investment. In this way, different income tax and inheritance or gift tax objectives can be achieved.
