The Welcome Relocation Center®

The Welcome Relocation Center, an international Trademark of Start-Up Services GmbH, is the answer to all Immigration Support and Relocation needs. Founded in 1983, the company was started at the onset of globalization of the economy. We developed the services in response to the needs of global companies and often functioned alongside the HR Professionals as the extended workbench of the HR department. Start-Up Services is a true pioneer in Mobility Management and was well ahead of what was to become a whole new industry. From Visa requirements before the relocation all to way to departure after the tenure is completed, work and residence permits, temporary housing, home and school search, all registrations, driver’s license and a portfolio of Lifeline© programs for all needs during the assignment are our daily bread. This includes tenancy support, extensions of work and other permits, registration and birth certificates of children born in the host country, tax class change and many issues of daily expat life.
