The Munich-based startup Erledigungen.de has apparently filed for bankruptcy. The company has been relieving its customers of administrative tasks.
The last post on Erledigungen.de's Facebook page dates back to January 2. At that time, the startup was still looking positively toward the new year:
“Let’s go 2018!
Ahead of us lies a year full of changes of address, business registrations, vehicle deregistrations, and criminal records. (Editor's note: Spelling error in the original)
Doesn't sound good? No way!
For us, this is like breathing space! High-five! Thumbs up... We're full of energy and ready for your orders."
Four months later, the good mood has vanished: How startup scene reported, the startup has filed for bankruptcy. The company's website is already offline.
“The running costs were high due to the staff employed,”
says the insolvency administrator Ivo-Meinert Willrodt opposite the portal.
“However, sales figures and demand have not developed as desired.”
There is no buyer for Erledigungen.de.
Even the Lions' Den couldn't save Erledigungen.de
founder Sebastian Simon explained the service of his startup in a Interview with Munich Startup so:
"On our website, you can conveniently select the type of service you'd like to have done, such as a change of address, car registration, or similar, book the day and time, and our employee will come by at your preferred time. They check all documents for completeness and return them completed within one to three days. Apart from the processing itself, the sensitive data never leaves the hands of our agents. Meanwhile, the customer can concentrate on the finer things in life."
The startup's idea also received a good reception on the television show "Die Höhle der Löwen" (The Lion's Den). Last October, the young company presented itself to TV investors. Frank Thelen, in particular, was convinced of the benefits of the offering. However, an investment at the time was rejected due to the company's asking valuation of €2 million, which the investors considered too high.
