> I mean this in the most charitable way, what kinds of liabilities are you afraid of in that scenario?

Why do you think I know all the kinds of companies one can register in Germany? :)

I'm not even german or in germany, just keeping myself informed. You never know when it becomes useful.

Up until today I only knew of the GmBH. Now I know of two more types.

I've got the impression that you knew a little about German corporations, but I have been wrong before, so my apologies.

I guess, one can assume that all countries with working institutions (and some without) have at least a simple personal liability corporation, which is easy and cheap to establish, and a basic limited liability corporation, which is a little bit more involved and expensive to establish. I guess, because I haven't done any research, but I've come across such corporate forms in Germany, Italy, France, UK, Luxembourg, Hungary, Serbia, Congo, UAE, Estonia, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, USA, Canada, the Philippines and probably a few more.

I did, about the GmBH, from other discussions on HN. As I said, now I know more, thanks.

Yes, but in RO where I am the minimum capital for a LLC is like 100 EUR not 25k :)

That's barely enough to pay a cheap accountant for a month ofc.

Oh, cool info. Thank you! I'm always surprised how large the differences of cost between EU nations are. We really need better arbitrage ;)
