Document background
The Vendor Intake Form is a crucial document used during the initial stages of establishing a business relationship with new suppliers or service providers in Germany. This standardized form ensures systematic collection of vendor information in compliance with German commercial law, data protection regulations, and anti-money laundering requirements. It includes sections for basic company information, regulatory compliance, bank details, tax status, and necessary certifications. The form serves as a foundational document for vendor management, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance, particularly important in the German business context where documentation and due diligence are strictly regulated. The Vendor Intake Form also facilitates internal approval processes and helps maintain a structured vendor database compliant with German corporate governance requirements.
