    I want to know, do you have other clients using your services as a registered office for the amazon FBA business? Because Amazon allows
    only one address per client.

    Thanks for This great explanation, but can you tell us about which nationalities are restricted or not allowed to have their off shore companies in the UK? Thank you

    • @1stformations
      @1stformations  2 роки тому

      Hi Zaka. There are no nationalities which are restricted from having their companies registered in the UK. However, company formation agents are obliged to undertake Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering checks which sometimes prohibits certain high risk countries at risk of money laundering or terrorist financing. This is based on the country of residence, as opposed to nationality.
      Where do you live?

      Thanks for the question! A company owned/directed by a non-resident is usually taxed in the same manner as a company where the director does live in the UK.
