Business agreement for Germany: what and why
Sale and supply contracts, service agreements, joint venture agreements and MoUs signed in India often need legal effect abroad, for tenders, bank financing, registrations or court proceedings. Business agreements such as sale, supply, service, joint venture or MoU documents are executed by your company's authorised signatory.
Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.
In Germany, a legalised business agreement is typically requested for tenders and supplier registration; it is also used for joint venture or project registration and bank financing and dispute resolution.
A business agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Germany accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Germany accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn German translation made in Germany; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.
