Best EU Country to...
 

set up an adult biz?

If you could choose any country within EU that has relatively cheap cost of living and no hassles working in adult, where would you choose and why?

Hungary has been pretty comfy so far, i heard Czech Rep. is heaven too. But don't take my word for it.

What do you mean with the word "hassles" if it's legit porn besides Eire you're fine.
If you intend a safe harbor country to do whatever you want with porn, then the answer would be none, move to Cyprus!

Thanks. Hungary definitely looks good. How is internet access etc. there? Any thoughts on Austria?

Definitely legit. Just wondering if any countries suffer from very heavy handed censorship? Why is EIRE a problem?

internet access is fairly good. fast broadband is easily accessible esp. in budapest. austria has better living standards, hence it is more expensive.

^ Many thanks. I know very little about most European countries. Would like to spend two to three years there if poss.

Cyprus would be fine for you

I vote for Hungary too, not only because I live here but it's a nice country to live in and you can find quite a few people with experience in the adult business. Internet is good, offices are not very expensive to rent, beer is cheap and the girls are awesome ;)

Hosting: Norway/Danmark
Corporate identity: Norway/Danmark/Germany
Private: Find a cheap EU country where the climate fits you

Labor is cheap and easy to find

Keep your business in Cyprus and live in Romania :thumbsup !

open a offshore company and stay in your country

If you are a startup, you will find it hard to get partners to trust you, with a Cyprus corporate identity

Norway is not EU.

Wrong. There are many EU countries where porn is illegal.

Orban is trying to become a second Putin - good luck in Hungary...

Spain. No one cares what you do.
Setting up a co is a bit of a pain, but once done, its o.k
Taxes are a bit lower than other places.
Cost of living is cheap, weather in the majority of the country is good.

I saw a lot of very sex women in this report of this romanian webmaster meeting

Your answer bothers me a little bit :(

nice hot french fries ! love to drool and compliment her.

that wasent my answer either.
what matters is his private home location.

That could be done. Wife and I are looking to visit Europe for a couple of years, maybe more. Then return home.

Why does private home location matter?

Not the UK due to atvod.co.uk and a few other recent problems on s and m laws.

Income tax and rules for transfering money in/out of europe

I would say Holland

as long u have the money....

god damn you are fucking annoying

Definitely! You can't find a better country than these two for the adult biz.

I lived in Czech republic, very good country that I can recommend for your needs. Now I live in Romania, I like it also very much. Internet connection is in Romania one of the best in the world and its even cheaper then CZ. In CZ I felt like home what I dont have in Romania but its more fun here in some way.

Czech I think. But I have no idea about their taxes. What's the tax scale there?

Greece, just bring a suitcase of cash, lol.

Cyprus. :thumbsup

Cyprus is definitely a place to be :thumbsup

bump for Budapest-Hungary :thumbsup

That's what I thought he meant too.

Romania. very cheap labor

I lived in Budapest back in 2013. Beautiful city, and great place to live imo. I would go back in a heartbeat.

But the government/business atmosphere is pretty shoddy there. My English teaching buddies told me they were paying 40%+ in taxes...and they were just scrounging by.

I mean...if you're working remotely (as I was) it doesn't matter. But to incorporate there? I wouldn't recommend it.

Great post!:thumbsup

So what would be the best EU country to incorporate in? I've done it in Belgium. But taxes aren't that favorable, either.
Someone mentioned Ireland. But are they adult friendly? Can you easily put in shooting costs, model costs, etc.?

I'm not sure if I'd incorporate anywhere in the EU. The whole continent is going belly up. Business will be milked like cows in the near future to pay off the debt...already are.

But if it HAD to be EU, I'd go with CZ or maybe Estonia.

P.S. Are you the Africa Fuck Tour dude? Great site. I've been a fan for a while. Ballsy shooting porn in Africa!:thumbsup

Yes, that's me. Launched African Casting as well now.

Thank you!:pimp

Thats France for sure

Seems lots to choose from. Germany isn't high on the recommendations so far. Is that due to cost of living?

Never ever think about adult biz in Germany...

Besides that: high taxes, high costs

Thanks MaDalton. Is Germany restrictive then? I thought that was the heart of hardcore porn in Europe?

I hate typing long text on my tablet so i keep it short: never ever do porn in germany. Ask Fabian Thylmann.

LOL no worries :thumbsup
