How do you pronounce "GmbH?" Is it "gimbah" or how is it supposed to be said?
Main Post:
I like calling GmbH "gimbah" because it sounds slightly funny. But does anyone else say GmbH that way? How do you all say "GmbH?"
Top Comment: Pronouncing the letters separately ("ge-em-be-ha", maybe merging to "gembeha") is the only way I've ever heard it pronounced.

Top Comment: GmbH is the german term for LLC. Both meaning what it says - limited liability company (or Gesellschaft mit Beschränkter Haftung). The limited liability describes the liability of the owners in various cases (like private capital when the company defaults). "Industries" and "Enterprises" is just self given names to make the whole thing sound better. Rest: I don't know really, best consult Wikipedia who have very good articles on how the specific company forms differ and what legal implications that has.

Moving to Germany to open a GmbH - practical help needed
Main Post:
Hi! I am an Italian citizen, currently living in Scotland, where I have a limited company. I am moving to Nuremberg to open a GmbH there, due to Brexit. I wanted to know a couple of practical things:
- I want to rent a flat but they are asking me a proof of income, which I don't have, as I am opening a GmbH as a startup. How can I get a rent contract without a payslip? (can I pay some months in advance, like I did in Scotland?)
- It seems a dog biting its tail: they ask me for a bank account to offer me a rent contract, but when I go to the bank, they tell me that I need to have a registered rent. Any suggestion here? Thanks for any useful suggestion!

Paying in advance is unlikely to work. The landlord wants to have some assurance that you will stay long-term and pay your rent every month. Evicting people for not paying rent is a lengthy process here, so the landlord will be afraid that once the money you pre-paid runs out, you will stop paying and he will have a lot of hassle.
Also, pre-paying rent would be risky for you. Reducing the rent is the best tool a tenant in Germany has to force a landlord to do his duty when there is something wrong with the flat. And you can't reduce rent that you've already paid if, say, the heating stops working and the landlord just ignores you.
Which company type in Germany is better? GmbH or UG?

Pretty sure the UG is just a GmbH with a lower share capital requirement.
