I currently live in Italy and in the last months I figured out it's perhaps one of the worst countries to start a business due to the bureaucratic system and legal procedures.
I'm at the first year of University but I plan on moving out from my country. In fact, I had to stop a project I started as soon as I found out the tax system in Italy would have brought my income into a negative value.
Unfortunately, my parents want me to finish University so I'm trying to find a country where I can both 1. start a company, and 2. study without going into debt due to tuition fees.
I'd love to move in the US but tuition fees are over the roof as many of you already know, so I had to exclude that from the options. Same thing with the UK.
As I'm half-Russian, I thought of moving to Moscow or St.Petersburg. However, I've read that the start-up environment isn't that better (compared to the Italian one).
I also thought about Amsterdam as the Netherlands seem to be a great place for entrepreneurs. However, expenses would be extra high as I currently have no job and the rent in Amsterdam costs around $600+ for a single room from what I've read.
So it looks like I'm struggling to make a decision and would like to know some opinion from you and from your experiences.
Is Russia really that bad for entrepreneurs? Is there an EU country which is not too costly but still gives some advantage to business owners?
Thanks in advance.
