Anybody got experience in UK vs Estonia? I have lived and run companies in the UK and USA. The UK is light years ahead of the US in terms of all online interactions with the government. It's also been a long time since I have done any paper-based interaction with the government in the UK, the online systems have been really good for years.

Curious how it compares to Estonia.

I don't have a UK/Estonia company but saw the comparisons a lot when I was working for e-Residency. My understanding is that it's pretty comparable in terms of being all online, solid tax structure, etc. For me the two biggest factors would be - where are my clients and how much do I care about having a company in the EU. If most of your clients/employees/ops are in the UK, I would probably keep it there, if they're in the EU or being part of the EU is important to you, I would consider Estonia (plus the instability of Brexit throws a bit of a wrench into the equation)
Don't know about the UK, but you really don't need to do anything on paper here. There may be some special cases, but almost everything can be done over the internet.
