Hi everyone, I’ve been reading this forum for a while and finally decided to ask. I’m based outside the UK and thinking about starting a small online business, but the whole UK company registration process feels confusing. Every site says something different, and some make it sound either ridiculously easy or unnecessarily complicated. I’m especially worried about hidden costs, paperwork mistakes, and whether I’ll even be able to manage everything remotely. Has anyone here actually gone through the process and can share real experience? I’m not looking for shortcuts, just something reliable and transparent that won’t turn into a headache later.
