I recall reading an article a few years ago where an entrepreneur was sued by the Spanish government after his company went under. Spain is, as is the rest of Europe, quite hostile to entrepreneurship. It seems like Spain is trying to attract people from outside rather than deal with the problems inside. If they could make it super easy to start a company, relax red tape for businesses under a certain size, and encourage Spaniards to start companies (not just in tech) and soften the blow of failure, I think only then is it time to start inviting in foreigners.
- skrebbel 12y ago> as is the rest of Europe This, as everything, wildly varies among European countries. There's plenty European countries where it's easier to start a business than in many a US state. There's also plenty where you don't even want to think about it (Serbia, anyone?). Don't forget that Europe has about as many countries as the US has states.

- Symbiote 12y agoIf you would like to register a business in the UK, go here: https://www.gov.uk/register-a-company-online https://www.gov.uk/register-a-company-online It says it takes 48 hours and costs £15. You must be at least 16, and you'll need an address -- it could be a rented post box so long as it's a full address. As far as I can see, you don't need to be resident in the UK.
