This is wrong. The UG offers the same protection as the GmbH. It's probably less trusted.

Funfact: you should always use the full title, Companyname UG (haftungsbeschränkt) on all communications and contracts. Emitting the 'haftungsbeschränkt' or shortening it 'haftungsb.' may make you as a CEO personally liable for damages occured.
