Uk LLP problem with stripe

I checked Stripe and they did not mention that LLP partners have to be UK residents, but some people on here claimed Stripe asked UK address proof for Partners.

I am hesitant to proceed with UK LLP formation if Stripe is gonna reject me because partners have no connection to the UK.
Same from me, we are 2 EU citizens, but atm we are not UK residents.
Btw form an LLP is very cheap so maybe i give a try
 
Register a LTD not a LLP as purely a payment gateway to "access" the UK market.
You can use a virtual address that will give you tenancy agreement and bills,
On the back of that you can also register a TW, Tide, Monese, Revolut or Monzo account using that bill. As an EU citizen you will can also open normal bank account in the UK if you can get here before Brexit.

There is a link to a group I was introduced to, the guys below are very expensive but there are other providers.

 
@CaptK So one can have residency on a zero tax country, an offshore LLC or IBC and a UK LTD acting as a payment gateway?

What kind of legal document should be arranged between the offshore company and the UK limited company? An agency agreement?

Since the UK LTD would serve as a payment gateway, would it be necessary to obtain a license from the UK FCA?
No it works as a marketing office, so the product is still dealt with via head office but the UK entity takes the payment.
By virtue of the company being run from another country the effective place of management is where the tax will be due.
Use the CFC rules against them.

I you have residency in a 0% tax country with a UK Ltd., i assume you could just pay out 100% of the monthly earnings as salary to avoid paying any corporate tax at the end of the year.

BTW, LLP should work fine. Just write a UK adress and send a UK utility bill if they ask.

If you pay out any money from any type of entity as salary you have to pay personal income tax from that amount. It does not really make any sense unless you pay a very low tax rate in your country or can avoid it totally.

Back to the UK LLP - I don't understand why not open a LTD on darks... it is like a company on steroids... look it up in mentor gold if you need help to get the thing done.

@CaptK

If using LTD as gateway:
- Can this LTD be dormant?
- Morgan Corporates seems a good solution. However, does anyone know any cheaper providers?

- Is there any way to do use Shopify Payments using a Canadian (British Columbia) LLP?

No it cant it would just pass the payment through and then take a 0.5% transaction fee. You submit accounts and cover the costs.

I agree it works with stripe. My only problem they did not respond to my support ticket which is 5 days ago!
