I always wondered if it has something to do with employee protections, maybe the risk of starting a business in the US feels the same as joining a company as an employee with no protection and employee rights? Although I know that has changed a lot last few years and you now need to put 2 years in a UK company to get some employee right and protections

I've always been scared and worried to go off and do my own thing without something to fall back on. I have ideas and things I'd like to build but the risk seems really high. I end up asking myself questions like "how do I pay my mortgage?", "what do I do for food?", and so on...

What can be done to make it easier to start a company in the UK?
