Abstract
We establish a minimal positive existence time of the parametric Willmore flow for any smooth initial data (smooth immersion of a closed oriented surface).
The minimal existence time is a function exclusively of geometric data which in particular are all well defined for general weak Lipschitz W2,2W^{2,2} immersions.
This fact opens in particular the possibility for defining the Willmore flow for weak Lipschitz W2,2W^{2,2} initial data.
