I hear you loud and clear, buddy.
The unfortunate thing is that, in the U.S., limited liability is what it sounds like - your liability may be limited, but if they'd like to persecute you, they will certainly find a way to do so.
Now, a funny quirk of modern economies is this - if you want to sell something in a country, your best bet is to register your company in a different country.
The aforementioned modern economies tend to regulate domestic enterprises into oblivion; given the recent developments with Trump's tariffs, I must say, the situation does seem to be changing somewhat.
Still, we don't know two things:
>1. Once Trump is out of office, will his tariffs and focus on domestic industry continue with the next president?
>2. Will the next president be neutral, pro, or anti-robowaifu?
These are very relevant questions, as it could go one of two ways - if the economy maintains the same relative status quo as it has for the past fifty or so years, you can rest assured that a domestic enterprise will be regulated out of existence - you'll have to pay quadruple taxes on everything, you'll need to get permits, licenses, registrations - as ironic as it may be, foreign enterprises (outside of car manufacturers, who lobbied billions of dollars for government support) have an easier time bringing products to the domestic market, than domestic ones.
Given that this is a bit of a controversial industry for the masses, I would be inclined to register out-of-country (plus, I'd much rather pay 1% in taxes than the 20-30% I'd be paying in the U.S.) - and, in case the government goes against the idea, we can always pivot to a foreign market - the Chinese have a growing middle class, and while I'm inclined to think the CCP would be against robowaifus, economic zones like Hong Kong would be viable markets - many immigrants being mainlanders. Taiwan, Japan, South Korea - all of those would likely be much more supportive of robowaifus than the U.S.
Now, I would strongly recommend against opening a public corporation. As I've mentioned before, and as Chobitsu so clearly put it
>>39792 (speaking of, completely and utterly agreed, mate!); influence from investors will mean you'll be making and developing what *they* want for you to make and develop. It means forced compliance with
There is a gambit that can be done, of course - as I'd mentioned - opening a "sacrificial" company to raise funds, manufacturing something semi-related to robowaifus, then bailing (legally), bankrupting the public enterprise (or continuing to generate profit, if it is profitable), and opening a private company to manufacture the robowaifus themselves.
There's also the option of starting an organization of robowaifu developers, and an unrelated enterprise to make profit - and only once the robowaifu prototypes are ready for the market, opening a second company, to sell them.
The way I see it, there are three distinct options:
>operate as a think-tank to complete development of robowaifus, then overseas registration as a private company, and bring them to the market without funding
>open a company (public) to raise investor funding in an unrelated industry, then funnel all profit to a private robowaifu company (a partnership or a private corporation)
>anons open their own private enterprises (sole proprietorships or independent contracting businesses) and establish a conglomerate out of their own respective companies - every anon will run his own business, and profit will be split as per conglomerate agreements

As unfortunate as it is, I'm inclined to agree completely.
Every single anon on this board will be despised by the larger public, myself included, if this takes off. For the next twenty or thirty years, one could say that the robowaifu sector will be "Public Enemy #1". Once a new status quo is established, the masses will calm down.
Until then, you will be treated (and so will I, as I plan to continue in this sector) as Big Tobacco, Hitler, and mass-shooters rolled into one.
You can expect for the entire industry to be completely misunderstood. At the moment, I'm providing counsel of the same sort that I'd provide an arms manufacturer. Actually, scratch that.
I'd say an arms manufacturer would actually have an easier time, because Uncle Sam loves his Military Industrial Complex.
Nobody loves robowaifus aside from, well, the fine men of forums like /robowaifu/. Sure, there are millions of men like that - but, there are billions who want to see the industry destroyed before it even comes to fruition.
This is a new paradigm, and so, the appropriate preparations must be made.
