I really hope "EU Inc." will reduce the pain in that area.

  It may, but only for the incorporation step. All other pain points in Germany are yours to enjoy.

    Yes, accounting/tax related stuff is still annoying. But there are a few more advantages: * Employee share options are taxed when they sell the shares, not when issuing the option (regardless of strike price) nor when exercising it. * Changes to the shareholder structure (e.g. raising capital) don't require visiting a notary And I'm not sure if incorporating in a different EU country (while still looking just like a German EU Inc) would avoid some of the German pain points.

      > there are a few more advantages I'm pretty sure Germany is more than capable to negate all those. For instance it is inconceivable to imagine company law practiced in Germany without a notary speaking out loud the whole shebang.

        It's amusing how top law students become glorified narrators/voice actors. Had to visit one of these every time we raised capital. He never did more than read the text aloud and perhaps correct a typo. I don't want to know how much the company paid for that privilege.

  EU inc is what made me start believing, my idea is possible.
