I don't know anything about Greece, but speaking of my country of origin (Czech Republic) is quite a big problem to set up credit card payments, not speaking about much bigger administrative burden and costly process of setting up company.

As zerostar07 said, the bureaucracy alone makes it a nonstarter. In the UK I get my personal HMRC contact, whereas in Greece you have to get up at 7 am and only hope you will get whatever you want done that day.

Also, Greece doesn't generally encourage entrepreneurship that much. For example, I can't email an invoice, I have to actually mail the actual physical copy, which I have to write by hand, because I have a book of invoices stamped by the Eforia (the Greek revenue service).

Plus, setting up the UK company took 15 minutes and as many pounds, whereas I have no idea how much it costs in Greece. Friends who've done it told me to stay away.
