What nobody tells you about UK business addresses (especially as a non-resident)
When I first started researching UK company formation, almost every guide made it sound simple:
“Open a Ltd online in minutes.”
What they don’t explain properly is everything that comes after:
- registered office confusion
- director address privacy
- HMRC mail handling
- bank verification issues
- Amazon / Stripe / marketplace checks
- virtual office misunderstandings
- compliance & ID verification
I ended up writing a practical breakdown of the things founders usually discover too late.
Curious if others here had similar experiences.
