There is also a brutal and inflexible exit tax. Should you decide to leave Germany, even temporarily, you will be faced with a tax of ~30% of the current valuation of your worldwide shareholdings (in companies in which you have >1% owner

You might have a sick relative and want to temporarily spend some time with them. Or you might need to relocate to lead expansion to another market. Or move to the sun after retirement but still keep ownership of some shares to pass on to y

I am surprised to see Germany so high. Germany is a hostile place to start a company, especially if you are not German, not least because there is the issue of a very harsh and inflexible exit tax. Should you decide to leave Germany, even t

This looks really great but also I expect there will be many such tools on the market soon. Are you going for the full VC backed route and if so, how would you meet their high growth expectations? I can see a really nice business here but t

It's all very subjective. I love them. I hope there is a version 2 at some point (I am not a Tesla/Musk fan boy, I just want to see what might be next).

If you spend time in brussels it becomes quite difficult to avoid lobbyists. They are perfectly nice people but apparently everywhere, for every sector and very much full time there.
