Startup hell, especially when employing

Having a startup in spain is living hell and very hard to keep profitable. Everything is taxed to the max, no startup benefits, rediculour building regulations and certifications/licenses, getting your VAT back takes A YEAR (if you are lucky) and if you employ parttime personell you pay fulltime social security for them which basically relates in more than double the salary cost.

No wonder this country is not growing, has huge unemployment numbers and you see entrepeneurs typically last no longer than 12 months.
