It's slightly concerning that the author talks about people being "green", but then complaining about having to manage bureaucracy, not having access to a ready-made network of experts & having to spend your last peso.

Isn't this just part of the life of starting a business?

No, in many countries bureaucracy is not part of doing business. Especially in Estonia where setting up a company or doing anything with the government public services, taxes, reporting etc takes a few minutes online and is never done on paper.

Yes, but when you start something in Chile you can't expect it to be like Estonia or elsewhere. ;)

And if this in Chile, it have to be big hassle? Fine, then entrepenuers will simply ignore this country. Simplez.

I think the point was that there would be some obvious differences in systems. That doesn't mean that they aren't improving their system - it just isn't at the same place as Estonia yet. Not so hard to understand - right ?
