The vibe I got from his post was that the formalities starting a company aren't the bottleneck, perhaps more of a symptom instead. Just about everything he said applies to Finland too. Registering a company means putting ~3000 € on the table but sure, you can do it fairly quickly online.

Registering a company in Finland does not require 3000€ or even close to that. The figure is closer to 100€.

When I registered mine the minimum required amount of stock capital was 2500 €. That cash needed to be on the company's bank account before the registration was formalized. The notice to trade register to formally incorporate the company was 450 €.

Looks like the first rule was abolished last year. The notice to trade register now costs 275 € electronically, or 380 € in paper form.
