Good luck with that - Ausländern setting up companies in Germany without speaking German. They'll probably incorporate in Estonia or Ireland. It's way easier to set up a company in post communist Eastern Europe.

well that was rather my point. Estonia makes it easy for non-Estonians to incorporate there. Germany should do similar.

The fun fact: when you live in Estonia, you get German gov-supported Facebook Ads to incorporate your company in Germany.

For example, recently getting a new one: https://start-ups.invest-in-bavaria.com/

I find that ad funny.

> Don't believe everything about Bavaria. Just believe the facts.

Maybe it's because of the article I just read, but I'm reading that like "Don't believe everything you've heard about how Germany is a terrible place to do business."

Presumably if New York or San Francisco had ads encouraging people to start companies there, they would want people to believe everything they've heard.
