My 2 cents

In 2023 tried to register a business in Estonia.

I had to first get the e-residency.

This worked, (took 6 weeks I believe), but then I had to travel to another country (which had an Estonian embassy) to collect it.

Then I would have had to travel to Estonia itself to register the actual business and bank account (something like that -- it was a while ago).

(There are "done for you" business services, but from what I recall they were quite expensive, and I think would have still required the travel.)

It was theoretically doable, but due to life circumstances I wasn't able to travel at the time, so it didn't work out.

Meanwhile a few days ago, finally worked up the courage, and registered a business in the UK via a formation agent.

It took 25 minutes and $150. (Business was registered within 2 business days.) From the comfort of sitting on mine own ass, on the other side of the sea. So... yeah xD I like this way a bit better so far.
