According to Forbes Magazine, the Nordic countries are among the best countries for business 2015:
- Denmark
- New Zealand
- Norway
- Ireland
- Sweden
- Finland
- Canada
- Singapore
- Netherlands
- United Kingdom
- Hong Kong
- Switzerland
- Iceland
The World Bank has a table and great statistical material ranking countries on the ease of doing business.
Considering that there are countries where it takes 182 days to legally open a business, one cannot help appreciating that it takes just 3 days in Denmark.
We suspect that those 3 days concern share-holder companies; if one just wants to register an official company name and get the necessary VAT-number, it takes about 5 minutes online.
