At least if you are in Germany you need to have a business incorporated when you want to sell to customers or businesses. You need to have a tax number/ID.and you need to provide not only an invoice, but in case of software also updates (at least from next year on, if you not have the customer explizitly opts out).

It’s a good idea to incorporate a limited liability company to shield your personal property from liability, but it’s not a requirement. If you do, a UG mbH will do just fine and is simple to set up, but requires proper bookkeeping. You need to register for tax and at the Gewerbeamt likely (depends, ask a tax accountant about your specific case) but both are trivial. You do need to provide an invoice, but there are tons of options to make that simple - a word template may be sufficient.
- sdoering 5y agoA single person can't found a GbR. For that you need at least two people. And yes it is trivially easy to register for it. Also taxes are not too difficult.
- Xylakant 5y agoA single person doesn’t need a GbR but can act as a single person. You just need to register for taxes and possibly with the Gewerbeamt.
