Slightly off-topic, but is there something similar to Stripe Atlas for other jurisdictions?
I run a privacy-focused WordPress hosting company, and while in closed alpha, I registered a personal company in the country where I live to be paid, but I would like to register a proper company before launch, as I do not wish to register it in the country I live in — especially since I want to leave the country once the pandemic is over.
The other founders and I have been researching and looking into incorporating in Romania, as the country seems to offer good opportunities for new companies and even make moving there easier if you incorporate, but the amount of shady lawyers we found is worrisome.
A service like Stripe Atlas for jurisdictions in Europe would be much appreciated — not necessarily for Romania, as we also looked into Germany and Finland, just something less fishy than random lawyers on the internet.

EDIT: Okay, reading past mailing lists inside the company, it seems like key disclosure laws may apply in Estonia, which raised a few eyebrows here. As a hosting company it is obvious that we will deal with bad actors at times, and we already have procedures in place to disclosure the little information we have to authorities if asked. However, I read more than one account on authorities raiding data centers for drives without talking to anyone before doing so, and we want to have the legal right to deny them access to the encryption keys in court.
