Legal disclaimer

Last updated 12 September 2026

Gleem Academy is an editorial resource published by Anikeen UG (haftungsbeschränkt) & Co. KG. It is written for streamers and is meant to give you a starting orientation. It is expressly not legal advice and not tax advice.

No advice on your situation

These articles deal with general questions and cannot replace an assessment of your own circumstances. In Germany, legal services may only be provided by people authorised to do so (Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz, RDG), and professional assistance in tax matters is reserved to the tax advisory professions (Steuerberatungsgesetz, StBerG). Gleem belongs to neither group and provides no such services.

No client relationship

Reading this material, using Gleem, or contacting us does not create a client, retainer or advisory relationship.

How current this is

Legislation, case law and administrative practice change. Every article carries the date it was last reviewed, and we do not undertake to update it beyond that. Even carefully researched material can be incomplete or out of date.

Liability

We accept no liability for decisions you take on the basis of this material. The operators of any external sites we link to are solely responsible for their content. Otherwise the details in our imprint apply.

What to do instead

For a binding answer about your own situation, speak to a Rechtsanwalt, or for tax questions a Steuerberater. For questions about registering a business, your local IHK and the state-run start-up advisory services are a good first stop.
