Bureaucracy drives young entrepreneurs crazy
In the Allgemienen Zeitung article, Milan explains how we at QiTech are slowed down by German bureaucracy and have to fight our way through an endless jungle of forms and regulations - an obstacle that discourages many start-ups.
"I would voluntarily pay five percent more tax if the bureaucracy were really and noticeably simplified."
- Milan von dem Bussche
Bureaucracy as a killer of innovation
The daily battle with bureaucracy not only costs time, but also money. Milan reports that payroll accounting is more complicated than some of his machine developments. The large number of applications and permits required for the business makes it almost impossible to concentrate properly on the actual business.
The way out of the bureaucratic jungle
To escape this nightmare, we are involved in initiatives such as the "Young Founders Network" to draw more attention to the challenges facing young founders and to help young entrepreneurs throughout Germany.
We have also launched a crash course in bureaucracy with YFN.
"A kind of program with the mouse for bureaucracy"
- Milan von dem Bussche
The first 8 episodes of the crash course are already online, and the second series on payroll accounting will follow in April .

A big thank you also to Ralf Heidenreich, whose article puts the spotlight on our crash course and the bureaucracy issue.
