Is it true that German companies usually do not have "corporation" into their name? Have you ever heard of Excell Capital Corporation that is registered in rochstrasse 210,D-10178 Berlin, German?

german companies must have either GMBH or AG not "Corporation"

Answer 2

German companies might or might not have the word corporation in their name. If you're asking whether the company is legit or not, you should ask in which business office (Amtsgericht) they are registered, what is the registration number, and then you can contact that business registration office to check more details about them.

However, there is no number 210 in Rochstrasse in 10178 Berlin, as this is a very short street with only 18 house numbers.

And may I also note that the word Excell with two "L"s is not standard word in the English language.  

In general, a rule of thumb with anyone who offers you deals through the Internet without you asking for it: it is spam and it is usually also scam.

Answer 3

German companies usually have GmbH in their names. It stands for Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung,  translated as company with limited liability. The GmbH has become the most common corporation form in Germany, since the AG (Aktiengesellschaft), the other major company form corresponding to a stock corporation, was until recently much more complicated to form and operate.
