Structure is not just capital organization. Structure is primarily risk management. Many entrepreneurs underestimate that risk does not arise from events but from the structure. An identical economic event can – depending on the structure – be either harmless or existentially thr...
Structural mistakes rarely stem from ill intent. They result from haste. Many entrepreneurs think operationally. Structure is decided “on the side.” The consequences often only become apparent years later. 5.1 Mistake 1: Consolidating Everything into One GmbH A very common error...
