Opening a UK LTD for non-residents to use Stripe as a payment gateway

[salimhm]

Hello guys, I'm in the process of searching for a way to safely open a UK bank account and use it to start accepting CC payments. I found a lot of services, one of them being Launchese, which provides this service for 500$. I'm asking if it is really worth it or if you can recommend other cheap services.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have the UK company already ? You can apply with EMI and Other offshore banks

Not yet, I’m planning to gather as much info about this matter as possible before having one. Can you please guide me or tell me more about it?

When you sign up for Stripe and choose UK, what this mean that a) your company must be the UK or b) your bank account must be the UK?

its possible, get a real sim card from ebay or anyone can send u, get rdp or premium uk vpn and do the registration.

if I have a UK company with a bank elsewhere, and I'll use Transferwise borderless UK account to connect to Stripe, will this work?

You can't do much wrong with a UK LTD if you are into legit e-commerce business!

for me the uk rdp yes but for Australian, i ask my friend to make it for me and i ask him to add me as an administrator in the team which is really good option, so u dont require to have rdp all the time.

According to stripe you won't need any VPN etc. or IP from the same country as your account is registered, that's what I got told by them. Same goes for PayPal for that sake.

Are you sure for pp??

I get big headache with them and the final answer from them, they said " you need to have account and business from same country" and for solution they said ask one of your friend or partner to make it for your business in usa. If i find the conversation in Twitter and email will attach it here.

what im trying to say , they will ask for company information (registered in uk) and a lot of other info, i don live in uk, and have no idea how to do it, that is why i asked for a process for non us/uk residence, stripe does not support my country

u have ltd along with address

1 - u will do the registration normally
2 - you will add your company address and your address as owner and director with 100% or whatever % you have -- the address can be same not an issue
3 - when it ask for company verification you have the register number of the company
4 - when it ask for your verification submit for them your passport.
5 - when you add bank account then you need UK account and you can do it with TW.
6 - for currency better to add usd same what i did


done =D

It's a straight forward process to register a UK company, just go to one of the major company formation websites and follow the steps there, for instant Rapid Formations | Company Formation and Registration £9.99 ultra easy sometimes they are a little slow but you get it all setup nicely.
