What's wrong with having a local company (hence subject to laws in your jurisdiction) and then having a bank account in another country with friendlier banking facilities?

If this is a new business it's not usually worth the administrative overhead unless incorporating in the UK or US solves a specific issue (like stripe support, or some other critical services you made need).

The problem is not banking, it's compliance with local regulations. There are some requirements that make global online sales like not practical.

So I would say the main purpose of this whole thing is payment processing in a sane jurisdiction.
