Directorship Service
We support you with transactions, market entry, and corporate housekeeping.
We take on the role of managing director or board member, and carry out management tasks according to your instructions – from notarisations to the signing of documents, as well as professional back-office and secretarial support.
We provide experienced managing directors at short notice. This service can be seamlessly combined with the acquisition of companies or structures from our portfolio – ideal for time-critical transactions. Our managing directors can also be placed in your existing companies with immediate effect.
Our managing directors have experience in a corporate/M&A environment and are familiar with the requirements of transactions, structuring, and international shareholding structures. The role is always carried out in line with clear instructions and in close coordination with all parties involved.
We offer a full-service approach, from managing KYC processes and setting up the necessary account access, to handling payments and the administrative tasks in the company's day-to-day operations.
You are assigned an experienced professional as your central point of contact, who ensures efficient processes. Enquiries, coordination, and operational matters are addressed immediately, and collaborations with professional advisors proceed seamlessly.
Our managing directors are already personally identified with the relevant banks. This accelerates the account opening process and simplifies identity verification of foreign ownership structures.
Use cases
We assist you in different scenarios. Our Directorship Service can be tailored to your specific needs. Below you can find typical scenarios our clients encounter.
In the context of international corporate transactions, we take on the role of managing director or board member and assist with the implementation of all corporate law measures. This includes, inter alia, signing transaction documents, as well as efficient and solution-oriented support throughout all phases of the transaction.
For international corporate groups, we assist with the establishment of subsidiaries and take on their administrative management. This includes the ongoing administration and ensuring compliance with local requirements.
In special situations – such as short-term needs, restructurings, or the winding-up of a GmbH – we can provide interim management. The scope of tasks is defined individually and implemented accordingly.
Clients
Commercial law firms, as well as national and international companies, trust our Directorship Service.
Process
The engagement of our Directorship Service follows a clearly structured process. The aim is a fast and smooth takeover of management, with coordinated alignment of all legal and operational requirements.
The engagement begins with an inquiry, in which the key parameters of the requested services are agreed. These include, in particular, the structure, timeframe, key transaction details (as relevant), and specific management tasks.
Based on the agreed requirements, we prepare an offer for the Directorship Service. This includes a summary of our services, the timeline, and the draft agreements.
Following engagement, the Directorship Service is available immediately.
M&A Ready
We operate in situations that demand the highest level of professionalism – the acquisition of a German target company, the restructuring of a multi-billion-euro investment fund, the sale of a real estate portfolio, the market entry of a foreign company, or the takeover of a German Mittelstand company by an international investor. Whether in a bilateral trade sale, a structured bidding process, or a public deal – it is precisely in these situations that our managing directors take on responsibility: lawfully, discreetly, and with relevant expertise in M&A, finance, and corporate law.
Additional Corporate Services
As a reliable partner, we assist you with all further matters relating to your company – from a business address to administrative support, as well as tax and corporate law matters. From the Transparency Register to holding structures and liquidations, we support you with sound expertise and personal attention.

More information
The managing director takes on the governing-body role and performs management tasks as instructed, for example notarisations, the signing of documents and ongoing corporate housekeeping. Fundamental entrepreneurial decisions remain with the client; the managing director acts along clear instructions and in coordination with the parties involved.
It is worthwhile for international companies with German subsidiaries, for transaction phases and for interim situations such as restructurings or wind-ups. The professionals are based in Germany, so costly foreign certifications are not required.
After an enquiry and the coordination of the parameters, Blitzstart prepares an offer, on request for forwarding to international clients. After the engagement, the governing-body role is taken on and the change of management is notarised and filed with the commercial register.
The terms depend on the scope, duration and transaction context and are stated in the offer. A flat figure is not possible without knowledge of the mandate.
The service is available immediately after the engagement; the governing-body role is taken on in coordination with the parties involved. The change is registered after the notarisation at the register court.
