Don't incorporate somewhere else it will only lead to disaster. The company will end up being German tax resident anyways due to management and control being in Germany as you live in Germany .

Then you have to be compliant in 2 jurisdictions (file forms/balance sheets in both countries etc..) and worst case you could become subject to double taxation (if there is no agreement).

The optimal solution is just to leave Germany .

Just go to one of them Baltic states. They actually have a functioning electronic ids and other necessary infrastructure.

There’s no reason to live in Germany if you’re working with international clients.

Can't you just incorporate a Wyoming LLC (zero corporate tax + federal tax because you're non-resident in the US) then just open a Wise account?

Wyoming LLC gives passthrough taxation, and because you're in Germany, you'll be subject to German corporate and personal taxes alone, I presume?

Edit: changed from just personal tax to personal+corporate
