#2For information: GmbH & Co. KG is one of the most complicated forms an company can be founded, the same goes if the inner company is an UG.
Many things have to be done twice.
The only good thing is that an investor or an owner are not liable with their private money.

He wanted to go all out and maximise "company form". Same as optimizing your website for hundred of thousands of visitors even if you have only like one hundred visitors...

It is not complicated, it is in fact quite standard here in Germany.
I explain in the post how the other options are worse.

It is one of the most complicated forms. A GmbH alone is good enough in 99.99% of cases, and its usually done really quick.
Also, if you believe in your product there usually isn't a reason to go for a GmbH this early. You can send invoices a lot earlier with just a eK or GbR. Its not an issue to adhere with your private money if your product isn't causing damages.

#7"The one thing the state exists to let me do, bill them cleanly, is the one thing I still can’t."
I sympathize but I'm not sure that is the sole reason the German state exists.

#8Before Europe gets lumped in as one country, founding a company in Netherlands and Sweden, speaking from personal experience, is a breeze.
Although Sweden is a bit strange in the fact that banks have as much equal say as the government authority does in you starting a company, and if they don't want you as a customer, they can simply deny the right for your company to start!

"one" != "only one"

In Germany it might be easier to open a company remotely via Estonia
