You'll have a problem starting a business in a country you do not live in!

UK if you want to do it legally,

Starting one is surely simple most places. Making a success of it is the main aim.

O_G, not so in France, you have to go on a course in business management paid for by yourself and also jump through various hoops and fill in masses of forms, then wait several months before anything happens. Mrs jom has registered as an auto-entrepreneur (simplest form of business equivalent to a street trader) in France, it has taken 3 months and she has had to re-register her carte vitale (national health insurance card)

Oh those strange European types eh.

Ask someone (almost certainly some research institution) who definitely knows - I doubt if you will get truly authoritative advice on this question here unless someone can direct you to a report of some type. There is likely to be no single "easiest" country - it is most likely that several will be similarly easy/difficult. Further, my suspicion is that the very easiest will be outside Europe (and then legally there, but I am certainly no expert). In the UK the world's best country in all respects (not just easiest for starting a business) will definitely be the UK - the trouble is that everywhere else it is somewhere below the top ten on pretty much every listing of performance, parameters, etc.
