>It is stupidly easy to create a GmbH or UG, especially the UG. Also very cheap, if you push it two days are enough, will cost you around 100 bucks.

What about the required 25k to start a GmbH?

Nowadays it is 12,5 and it becomes the capital of the company which you can use to buy infrastructure and for the payroll.

12,500 is a lot more than 100 no matter where it goes to.

It is. But how is your prospective millionaire entrepreneur with his 100 buck corporation paying his bills? The 12.5 k from a GmbH can be used to pay your own salary for example. Or IT, or pay for AWS,...

Point being, even a dirt cheap corporation will need some money at one point.
