I am working on a SaaS product with a friend that will be mostly a B2B (although it can work as B2C too) and besides all the tech, what I am afraid mostly is all the tax/money/stuff.

I am not from Europe neither USA - I'd like only to get paid monthly for the service I provide. Is it difficult? If anyone can give some advice I'd be grateful.

At fruits, we are automatically handling all the taxes & invoicing for you - internationally & correctly, so you don't have to be afraid of making illegal billing mistakes. It's all handled for you, you and your customers automatically receive an automated invoice / billing overview. :-)

It really boils down to the country.IMHO, German tax system is madly complicated but Estonian is super simple, for example.

You shouldn't be afraid, you should pay a professional CPA and/or tax accountant to take care of all of that stuff for you.

You wouldn't draft your own legal documents (I hope), correct? It's no different on the money side of things.

At that point it almost doesn't matter if they draft them themselves as they won't have the energy/money to chase some vendor/partner etc legally as a day 0 startup.
I pay my taxes locally. The issue is what happens for the other companies in other countries, do they need something special?
take a look at getrevin.com - basically an MoR (taxes,filing etc) but you can use Stripe - and they can serve you in countries that Stripe can't.
You could look into a UAE freezone.
