Sure, I agree UK is a better option. Are you a UK resident though?

I'm a EU resident and I have heard there is no way to open a business bank account in the UK without living there (i.e. without NI number + rent contract + utility bills).

If anyone has any info on how to run a UK company with a local bank account (not with an Internet bank) without being a UK resident, I'm all ears.

I'm not a UK resident and running it with Transferwise borderless account, and have opened several accounts in other fintech banks as an experiment as well.

As for Estonia, de facto e-residents have to open accounts in internet and non Estonian banks too.

Do you trust Transferwise borderless (or other fintech banks) with more than $50k?

Btw which service did you use to open the company and for accounting in the UK?

In Estonia I have an LHV account, without any problems.
