  • strongly agrees and says:
    To continue, right now starting a business in most EU member states it’s complicated, very time and resource intensive, and often involves lawyers and notaries. Instead, it should be as simple as going online to a centralized EU website, where entrepreneurs can register their business and details in just a few clicks. The entire process should be streamlined and efficient, allowing businesses to start operating immediately. The EU government taxes and bookkeeping of this business should also be fully online in an EU portal/dashboard. (source)
