Ask HN: forming a company and setting online payment processing in EU - advice?
So, being from Europe, but not an EU member, I'm looking for the best option to form an LLC (or similar) and be able to setup an online payment with the newly created company. Something like an EU version of the Delaware corp plus Stripe (or similar).<p>Have any HN members did this in EU and would you be so kind to share your experience and recommendation?<p>Thanks a lot!
- dirktheman 14y agoI'm afraid you won't find anything like a Delaware LLC in Europe. Our laws are just too diverse. In the US you have state laws and federal laws, but in Europe every country has their own laws. Especially things like consumer protection differ fromcountry to country, and can be a PITA. As far as online payments go, you're stuck to either PayPal or the recently launched rocket internet stripe-clone called paymill. Haven't tried that out yet, though.
- illuminated 14y agoIs it possible at all for someone to form an EU company, without residing in EU? Looking for an easy online user experience in doing it.
- dragos2 14y agoNot really sure if it works for non-EU residents, but you might give it a go. http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/infoAndGuide/companyRegistration.shtml http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/infoAndGuide/companyRegistr... PS: Haven't used it personally, but I know some people that used it to form companies in the UK. (people being from outside the UK, but in EU member countries).
