>Easy to "register" a business Importantly it depends on the country. Some are very easy and small business-friendly. Some are complicated and costly: high compliance fees, small business taxes and strict regulations. Hopefully OP lives in one of the former. Maybe someone here knows a nice list of business-friendly countries, I found - https://www.businessinsider.com/these-are-the-most-business-friendly-countries-2015-1 https://www.businessinsider.com/these-are-the-most-business-... Why does this matter? Anecdotally, I started out in a very friendly country and later moved to one with more restrictions. I'm not sure I would have had the courage to have made it work if I didn't have the earlier positive experience that have me confidence to work through it (and the cashflow to afford the right legal advice), and I've got friends in that more difficult country who decided it was too hard and went to work for someone else or left for an easier country.
