Start-ups

Just curious, seeing as Berlin is well known for being a start up capital, what do you actually have to do to set up a business. Is it really difficult and does look play a big role?

The buerocracy involved in starting a business in Germany is complicated and basically impossible to manoevre without good German language, legal, accountancy and taxation knowledge. As a foreigner, you probably need to get professional help for these.
Also, many professions have registration or certification requirements or other trade-specific regulations. But in IT, where most of the startups are, this is less of a concern.
In the fact-oriented (and generally conservative) German business climate, looks play no big role - although a female model as CEO is probably less accepted than a nerdy-looking man.

this website goes into detail about what it takes to set up a business. I don´t think aesthetics is listed as anything that matters!
