I've started three businesses in the EU and I can't say I share your feelings.
Regarding the Impressum ("imprint"), the information you need to put on your website is already public, since the address of your company is recorded in the commercial register when you incorporate it. It can be annoying to have to use your home address, I agree, but there are plenty of coworking spaces or even just mailbox services that can solve this problem.
Regarding Google Analytics, I don't find it a competitive disadvantage to have to host analytics software that is less detrimental to user privacy.
Are there any other issues or annoyances you ran into that contribute to the impression you stated?
- TekMol 5y agoMost indie makers build their product first and only incorporate if it becomes big. If ever.
- nerdawson 5y agoIndie maker is a nice label, but if they're attempting to make money, they're acting like a business and should operate with a certain degree of transparency. Self-employed or a separate legal entity is a technicality.
- mrweasel 5y agoThat’s just making thing needlessly complicanted in some countries. Registering a business is something you can do rather easily, I know people who have a company registered, just in case. It makes everything easier, less troubles with taxes and better legal protection (as in: a failed project won’t cost you your home).
