I don't know from first hand experience, but I've been told that it's relatively easy to open a UG (their version to an LLC/UK LTD) company and start working right away. Hiring and managing employees seems to be the hardest part.

Yes, the issues are mainly in hiring, labour code, and also privacy and IP issues.

Privacy is a big deal in Germany.

(And of course, doing all that in German, but in Berlin it's easy to do things in English. But not everybody speaks English)
