Document background
The Capital Contribution Partnership Agreement is a crucial document used when establishing or modifying capital investment arrangements in partnerships under German law. It is typically employed when partners wish to contribute capital, assets, or services to a partnership in exchange for partnership interests. The agreement must comply with German partnership law, particularly the provisions of the BGB (German Civil Code) and HGB (German Commercial Code). This document is essential for both new partnership formations and existing partnerships receiving additional contributions, providing detailed specifications of the contributions, valuation methodologies, timing of transfers, resulting partnership interests, and associated rights. It includes provisions for both immediate and staged contributions, and can accommodate various types of capital including cash, real estate, intellectual property, and business assets.
