Europe tends to be like the US government – if you have the time and money and believe that either is a major market for you, you jump through the hoops and spend the money to make them happy. For most people it isn’t worth the effort.

Given what Trump did today, any US business with Euro customers may find their costs rising sharply, if they are still allowed to do business there. The New York gambling den didn’t like his decision at all. Doing things that can create problems in the economy during an election year is not exactly a winning strategy.

Answer: No. We do not do business in Europe. Not because we don’t like European money, and not because of lack of interest in our product, but, rather, because European companies are so bureaucratic, insular, and xenophobic that getting a purchase order out of a European company if you’re not local to the company is a nightmare that even the people who want to buy our product internal to that company are unable to navigate the maze. If there was ever any reason to sell into Europe we would do so — we don’t gather any information not needed for the operation of our service, so we would pass GDPR compliance if such existed — but there just isn’t any reason, and now there’s even less reason, since we’d have to pay for an audit to sell into Europe. Screw that. It just isn’t worth our time and money to try to jump through those hoops.

Meanwhile, we sell lots to Arab companies and South and Southeast Asian companies. Go figure.
