That's really interesting. Here in the UK you can set up a limited company (i.e. if the company goes out of business, you are not personally liable for any debts) in about a day and there's no collateral requirement at all.

If you’re interested in doing this, here’s the step by step guide:

and here’s the registration form:

a lot of people overlook the UK - in terms of the simplicity of doing business. from favourable taxes etc. however the biggest con in the uk, is unmotivated people.

In what sense? I've worked with people around the world from a base in the UK and to be honest, don't find staff in other countries are much different. Certainly the quality of output doesn't seem any better.

Unmotivated people are the easiest to motivate with money. Motivated people don't want to stop what they're doing to do your thing.

Why do you think people in the UK are unmotivated?
