One might decide to act out one's entrepreneurial spirit in a different country ...


Sure, but if that's your reason to do that you're not being reasonable.

The point is that relative to everything else you need to get right to build a successful company in any country, taxes, payroll and accounting in Germany frankly don't even register.

Like I said, it's 1-2 days out of a year for me.

If that seems like a big hurdle, it wasn't the reason you didn't build a business.

There are challenges with building a business that are specific to Germany that actually matter.

By contrast, the concerns about bureaucracy are a tired stereotype. There's a grain of truth to them, but if they really pose a challenge to you, you didn't want to do this in the first place.
