As 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 2y 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 2y 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.
