I agree, it's difficult in most countries. Germany has tons of additional laws regarding taxation too. I for myself wouldn't even want to try opening up a business solely due to the taxation expertise I'd have to look up into. Don't get me started on international business too... It's just too much. Kudos to whoever manages to get through all that as a one man business owner.
- ido 3y agoAs someone running a business in Germany I think you're overestimating it. I have a steuerberater (accountant/tax-advisor) who is also doing my bookkeeping and he takes care of all that. When my UG was young paying him was a few €100s per year overhead. Today (when my company is turning over several €100Ks per year) it's a couple €1000s per year (so relatively negligible expense for my business). There's still plenty to complain about regarding bureaucracy and red tape but don't let this alone deter you from running a business (especially not a software startup).
- zwnow 3y agoI might do, it's just way more work than in other countries. 90% of which I really don't want to bother with.
- ido 3y agoI'm pretty sure it's pretty much like that in most other countries (at least most other European countries). I believe its the US/UK that are unusually easy to open a company in.
