I'm curious about the experience of entrepreneurs who formed a UK company while living abroad. What were the most difficult parts of the process—company registration, obtaining a UK address, banking, identity verification, or managing everything remotely?

You can handle most steps remotely, but banking and identity checks are trickier. I used Your Company Formations to register a company while abroad, and their service made it straightforward. They verify identity, support bank account opening, and the process took hours. Worth considering for non-UK residents.
