What is the difference between LLC, Inc, Gmbh, Pvt Ltd, industries, enterprises, etc that you see at the end of company names?

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.
Registering a mini GMBH in Germany. Where do I start?
Main Post:
TBH I am little spoilt by my experience in the UK in that regard. There, all I had to do was to fill out some forms on my own and I could register my LTD company online in a few hours.
I called my local register office in Germany asking how to register a mini-GMBH and they keep on telling me that it can only be done through a notary.
I hate paying middlemen more than I have to.
Can anyone please suggest which part of the registration process can be done on my own and which needs to be done through notary in broad terms? How can I minimize the cost of incorporating a mini GMBH?
Thank you!
