great work, thank you guys! learned more about Germany from your videos than from all other places which are full of cliches
I started freelancing last year for 8 months and had to pay €495 a month for health insurance. I found that so extortionate! Unfortunately it's what made me leave Germany and return to the UK. I just couldn't afford to live there. Even as a regular employee I was paying €200+ a month for health insurance. 😔 But I will say in general the process for registering my Etsy shop and as a freelancer was very easy and I was surprised I could do my tax online (with ELSTER). 😅
I love how that person just hung up on you (but it is also so rude!), I've heard from other Brits that it's typical when someone calls speaking in English – they'll just hang up! 💀🤣 It thankfully never happened to me though. 😅
Any company from Germany feels like trustable. The HQ is fine to be there, but in developing countries you can find more opportunities. In small office with many remote workers or even if you wanna build a factory with 1000 workers. I am planning to doing this job (after graduation).

It may vary from city to city but in general the biggest companies in germany are family buisnesses that exist for many decades even centuries like Thyssen Krupp, Siemens, Hugo Boss, VW, BMW, etc.
The entrepreneur mindset is not that crazy here in this country.
The Mittelschicht is quite big here and most of the people belonging to that weren't brought up to be entrepreneurs.

Maybe things will get easier when they realise that not everything has to be on paper…
Crazy idea, I know 🤣
when you have good connections its easier. But the restrictions and taxes are often reasons people go abroad.
This is to the point. Entrepreneurship in Germany is discouraged due to the excessive bureaucracy and high taxes. I wish it was as normalized as opening a business as in the states.
