In the UK, it took me half an hour and 30£ to open a Ltd, which I think is the equivalent of a GmbH.

It might have changed, but a few years ago you could go from 0 to a fully functional limited company, with accounting, business account, registered address with mail forwarding, etc. in a matter of days, from the comfort of your sofa.

I think GmbH's have a minimum capital requirement so not entirely the same as UK Ltd which can be opened with £1 of assets.

Possibly closer to the US Inc?

		In Germany you also have the UG which is like a small GmbH, with 1 eur minimum capital requirement, that is if you like like the 1k (and up to 2k) it cost to set up.
