Nice! Are you with them?
Not moving, just reregistering the business there...
Would still be tax resident in the UK.
Yeah I have no idea about UK tax law, consult a CPA - but typically you will be taxed in the place that you live (unless you are a US citizen, then they tax you globally no matter where you are), not where your business is registered, so may not be worth it unless you're willing to move to SG
I'd love to use Mercury but my business is registered in the UK.
Should I maybe register it in Singapore?
Definitely don't ask me for legal advice haha. That said, I'd probably only consider moving to Singapore if you're doing a certain level of revenue, otherwise it's probably not worth the hassle to save X% in tax

They don't seem to be regulated, so no money back guarantee from the government.

My business, UK based business but as the director of the company, I'd like to keep an open mind towards remaining in the UK and moving abroad...so good if they allow UK business accounts even if you live abroad.
I'm definitely not an expert, but I've worked with a handful of UK clients over the last decade. When I got TransferWise (now Wise), getting paid by international clients was way simpler (and cheaper), so that might be something to keep in mind if you're doing business with non-UK residents.
Revolut has made it really easy for me to transfer money into a UK-based bank account so I can access it when I travel. Definitely look it up to make sure it meets your criteria, though.
This might make it unsuitable:
"Unlike traditional banks, Revolut's deposit protection is limited. Although savings in a Revolut account are protected up to a specific amount, they are not covered by government-backed deposit insurance programmes. This may be of concern to those looking for increased deposit security."
@ben I saw you're using Discord for simpleotp.com/#pricing-scroll… - I guess I'll give it a try.
Thank you for answering.
@ben I was going to use a chat as my go-to operations alerting suite. I've used all of the other alerting tools, DataDog, Dynatrace, New Relic, etc. They all have their pros and cons but in the end, I always found myself automating alerting and monitoring into chat messages on Slack.
I was going to replace Slack with one of these, and I thought I'd pick the same one for my communit(y)(ies).
From what I see, Discord lacks the vast suite of integrations, but with a webhook I should be able to do most things anyway... (most integrations are webhooks under the hood anyway).

California, Oregon or Washington? Or Vancouver/western Canada?
Currently Bali. Not GMT-8 ;)
Hahahaha...sorry, my bad!
So I'm in GMT -7 (in SLC but used to live in Seattle), but I have Western Aus hours because my brain doesn't know what is even happening ever 😂
