Germany vs. the Netherlands for non-EU business
Thoughts on which country is better
I am a Canadian business owner interested in opening my own business in Europe, I am choosing between Germany and the Netherlands. Could anyone say which country is better for a non-EU national interested in opening a business? I contacted the IND in the Netherlands, which told me that it is possible for non EU nationals to open businesses there. I have been looking for information on Germany but have not found much information. Any one have any experiences here in Germany?
It is possible for Non-EU citizens to open a business in Germany, depending (among other things) on the amount to be invested. Here's a link to the website of "Invest in Bavaria" (sponsored by the Bavarian government), maybe they can give you more detailed information:

As for what's better, the Netherlands or Germany - you're not exactly giving a lot of info on the details of your business, so I guess nobody will be able to tell you, since it depends on so many things.

The one obvious advantage for the Netherlands is Language. Everybody can speak English in The Netherlands, which isn't the case in Germany.
no one is better with our language knowledge. You should stay in any country for a while to understand. dont be blind
hollands got great ports if thats a factor in your business plan.

Wow! I just looked into ICs profile and his posts. Two decent posts asking for information (one in 2005, the next in 2007) and then he spiralled into insults, racism and bland stupidity. It speaks for TT, that he only lasted for two months (April and May 2007), before he was discouraged to continue posting.

@Kay, you're too nice - Neusser's post is sort of a brain fart.
Because its happened to me. I invested too much money but later its was not easy for me to manage due to language. Many official problem as well.
So we should understand atmosphere and then think for business. For me china is best place for business. i have good profit from china but trouble to do business in germany
