 @0e241662 Ugh I don't want to know the number customs will reap there 
 @99b9ed46 @0e241662 it is kind of free to incorporate for the vat scheme.
You can pay 10£ and be get it done automatically.

That said, you need an accountant once you are incorporated, and I'd say it is easilly £1,000 per year.

If you don't break 50k to 80k revenue a year, you better loose few tousands pounds in revenue rathen than incorporate than loose that in profit. 
 @99b9ed46 They replied this to me on FB (yep, I have that account because BB groups are there):  “Sorry that it's a blocker for you, we'd love for shipping to be a simple and cheaper process too! If the project is a success we're hoping to visit the major tournaments as a trade stand so you might be able to get a pitch that way in the future.” 
 @0e241662 living in the Netherlands, I doubt anything he qualifies as 'major' will be held here. Sad times, RIP my idea.

Batcomma on the other hand, it's not like I don't already own at least three pitches with my name and/or NAF number on

with what yesyes said the whole vat scheme in the UK sounds crooked or at least fucked up AF - I've been a freelance author for 13 years and have done my VAT as they sing 'all by myself' without ever needing an accountant to safeguard myself from anything 
 @0e241662 and don't apologise for still owning a Facebook account because mine still survives purely because I do not want the connection my wife has with me online to be severed. It's a f****** garbage platform just like most owned by f****** billionaires but some ways it has it uses
