Did someone manage to open Stripe for UK LLP if both Partners are individuals, residents of some other (European) country?
nope, I've just started thinking about US LLC instead of UK LLP 🙂 marzio ghosted us 😀Atbatb said:
Did you solve it? I´m on similar situation, did you solve with Shopify Payments?
Thanks in advance

I checked Stripe and they did not mention that LLP partners have to be UK residents, but some people on here claimed Stripe asked UK address proof for Partners.
Same from me, we are 2 EU citizens, but atm we are not UK residents.Mark Rucken said:

I am hesitant to proceed with UK LLP formation if Stripe is gonna reject me because partners have no connection to the UK.

No it works as a marketing office, so the product is still dealt with via head office but the UK entity takes the payment.John Andrews said:
@CaptK So one can have residency on a zero tax country, an offshore LLC or IBC and a UK LTD acting as a payment gateway?
What kind of legal document should be arranged between the offshore company and the UK limited company? An agency agreement?
Since the UK LTD would serve as a payment gateway, would it be necessary to obtain a license from the UK FCA?

By virtue of the company being run from another country the effective place of management is where the tax will be due.
Use the CFC rules against them.

No it cant it would just pass the payment through and then take a 0.5% transaction fee. You submit accounts and cover the costs.polsmith said:
@CaptK
If using LTD as gateway:
- Can this LTD be dormant?
- Morgan Corporates seems a good solution. However, does anyone know any cheaper providers?
///
- Is there any way to do use Shopify Payments using a Canadian (British Columbia) LLP?

I agree it works with stripe. My only problem they did not respond to my support ticket which is 5 days ago!Dandyline said:
I you have residency in a 0% tax country with a UK Ltd., i assume you could just pay out 100% of the monthly earnings as salary to avoid paying any corporate tax at the end of the year.
BTW, LLP should work fine. Just write a UK adress and send a UK utility bill if they ask.

Hi, it is the best way ? why 5% and not 0% ? Why not use an us llc instead of an ltd ? Thanksmarzio said:
If you really want to use your LLP setup you have to open a UK LTD, give it 5% of the LLP so that you can have a local UK director. You'll have to pay 19% tax on the 5% of the LLP that's owned by the LTD.
