> I don't mean just practically, I mean legally, at least under Australian law. If things are significantly different in the UK or NL, I'd be very surprised! glad to see aussies here! however do know that the bureocracy in europe (EU and friends) and rules for small business operations are indeed significantly different (many more compliance requirements) than in australia. one thing that aussies will often find surprising are the compulsory monthly costs for running you own business (let alone a company)
