Hi guys,

I'm opening a new project with a business model like OnlyFans / Patreon does - Pay-Per-View subscriptions (to let people monetize their content via subscriptions).
It's not necessarily adult (P**N-like), as OnlyFans does. But a significant part of it can be erotic (not P**N, but braver than what you can see on Instagram).
I need a merchant account for this activity.

The question:
What is the normal % of commission can be for this activity?
For example, for dating it can be around 5-6% and for adult is around 15%. But it's not really and not always "adult"

Also, my current company is Hong Kong-based, so most adult processing solutions don't work with this jurisdiction.
Will the % of the commission be lower if I register EU based or UK company? Is it worth establishing a new company? For example UK LLP with one of the partners as a HK company to lower taxation? What other advantages of having EU/UK company instead of HK?

I would be so thankful for sharing your thoughts and experience in this field.

Did you consider NEAT and if so did they rejected you?

I believe it is going to be difficult with a HK company to find any valid payment processor in Europe or the US.

Did you tried with CCBILL, Verotel, Epoch Systems, Chronopay and Instabill already?

You may also check with Koalapay and eMerchantPay.
