This is a textbook example of concentration risk — your entity formation, payment processing, and customer relationship all running through a single provider. When Stripe Atlas handles your LLC and your payments, a compliance flag in one system can cascade across your entire business.

Two structural things worth separating going forward: (1) your legal entity from your payment processor — so a payment shutdown doesn't threaten your corporate standing, and (2) your payment stack itself — having a warm backup processor (not just "integrated" but actively processing some volume) means you can switch in hours, not days.

The eSIM space isn't uniquely risky, but any business where Stripe's fraud model doesn't have great training data for your vertical is exposed to this.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting take on separating Company registration from payment processor. At the beginning of this business, I thought it is a good thing.
