Although there are other things we can do, like simplify regulations for truly small businesses so people have a chance to start something without needing legal expertise, lots of paperwork, etc.

One of the other factors preventing people from starting small businesses is lack of affordable health insurance. They can buy coverage through state exchanges but those are still more expensive that group health plans offered by large employers.

Is your comment still about Europe...?

Starting a small business is hard in some European countries but not others. Here in Sweden it is trivial. In e.g. Malta and I believe Poland it is hard.

Personally I am not sure any of this discussion is relevant to Europe, especially not as a whole.

I think about this a lot. It should be really beneficial to have a progressive legal system for corporations where laws become more strict based on size or revenue.
