Thanks for the in-depth reply!

> That is of course, if they'll have me!

Go ahead and apply. You don't have to actually purchase the company, just because you applied. We already got accepted and can now go ahead, if we want to, at any point. Also, I don't think they are too picky. We got accepted within 2 business days.

> I have this same view for the LLC. The only issue I have so far, is dealing with long distance calls. Some vendors are happy to talk on Skype which is great. But the majority always want you to call them.

Yeah makes sense since most of your customers are US based. Good point, didn't think about that.

My first concerns were more towards dealing with lawyers, accountants and potential lawsuits as well as taxes in the US. Lawsuits are way more common their and taxes are quite complex due to federal/state/city laws, compared to the kindergarden-level flat tax in the UK... But yeah, I guess that's why people have accountants.

> My mindset is, if something happens. Just deal with it and move on. No point worrying about it.

That sounds quite british :) Good luck then! Do you have a blog already, so I can subscribe or something, to see the post once you release it?

Skype allows to buy US phone number and will receive incoming calls to it.
