Ireland perhaps.

Forming a Limited company in Ireland is cheap and straightforward. That is compared to a GmbH in Austria or Germany where you need thousands of Euros in share capital just to form.[0]

Ireland uses the Euro, which might be an advantage over the UK with Pounds Sterling. No forex worries.

Ireland also has a low corporation tax rate of 12.5%

The only two trickier bits are setting up a registered address in Ireland (not P.O Box) and opening a bank account. Not insurmountable tasks, and various organisations can assist for a few hundred Euros.[1]

The going rate for setting up an Irish company is around €250, and mine only took a few days.

Getting an Irish bank account is painful though, and that's with me being Irish in Ireland. I wouldn't try it from Portugal - though presumably you could use a local bank.

This is worth consideration too. Getting a bank account can be difficult.

Germany does have the UG (haftungsbeschränkt) for this very reason.

[mpswardle]

Annoyingly though UG doesn't have the same respect as GMBH amongst German corporate, so if you do a lot of business in Germany it often worth capitalising it anyhow.

I've only heard similar comment from accountants. I am not sure whether providers/customers really care about that. In fact I think accounts say that just because it was something new (so more work for them to learn).
