The most boring question in the process is the one most likely to ruin your plan.
- Some jurisdictions let one person be sole director and shareholder. Others require two directors, a local resident director, or a corporate secretary. - A mandatory local director usually means paying for a nominee service every year. Price it over five years from day one, like rent, not a footnote. - Minimum share capital sounds scary but is often symbolic. What matters more: are shareholder identities public, and are nominees permitted? - Residency rules eliminate jurisdictions silently. A few places require directors to live locally, which knocks them out for most foreign founders. - The requirements you researched to get in are the ones you must keep satisfying. Set reminders for director appointments and renewals.
When in doubt, email the companies registrar directly. A short email beats guessing, and the answer is authoritative. And for US filings where the rules are simple, IncorpTrack files for $49 plus the state fee.
