Cross-border hiring of a single employee (DE/EU) is a legal minefield
Pain point
One German contractor is actually a de-facto employee; founders must choose EOR vs. incorporating a GmbH with no in-house expertise. Hidden traps surface in comments: EOR in Germany is capped at ~18 months, and you need a Steuerberater.
Signal
Moderate-strong and specific: 12 upvotes, three substantive comments (3, 3, 1) all pointing at missing expertise. Specific, expensive, time-sensitive decisions = high willingness to pay.
Opportunity
A vendor-neutral "EOR vs. Entity" decision service: a free calculator (headcount, runway, country, duration → cost + legal-risk comparison incl. misclassification exposure and country-specific EOR time limits), monetized by a paid 60-min call with a local tax advisor and referral fees. Feasibility: calculator is quick; the value is the curated per-country legal ruleset and advisor network.
