It's inordinately difficult and expensive to start an LLC or SA in some EU countries. It's even difficult and expensive to _stop_ an LLC and dissolve it. Huge amount of risk and cost on founders and a huge distraction from running a business. I think that EU-Inc _could_ be an improvement, but it needs to avoid the committee laundry list of ideas/requirements/form fields that plagues the EU startup ecosystem. My worry…
> a company should be able to register in x days Which EU bureaucrats will fully pass by treating this as "a company should be able to register in x days once the full set of documents has been collected".
For example to make sure that a company can be held responsible when it breaks the law.
There are already enough loopholes to disconnect legal responsibility from profit-taking, and not every company is benign.
Sure, if the documents cannot be acquired in X days for other reasons, that would undermine the tagline.
But I don't think that's the main risk.
Let's not forget that some requirements make sense.
In Germany, the government recently decided that some minor applications to local governments must be answered within X days or else are automatically approved.
But "minor" is important here... great for a small business that applies for a permit to renovate there outdoor seatings or whatever.
I wouldn't want for company foundings to be auto-approved without submitting the legally required documents.
