For example how did you get a work permit in the US given that H1B visas are very hard especially with all the current unemployed? And what work area you are in? And some market colour on what sort of comp you managed to secure?
Remember that dividends takes from the UK company when outside for five years are tax free in the UK So make sure you last for five years
I always felt attached to the UK because I bought a few properties - Thats what kept me there - But the UK has been in decline for years now and BoJO has only made it worse. Instead of becoming the singapore of europe we are facing years of more taxes and poorer infastructure
We could have done it without that due to Mrs WIB being an American, but we were told this would actually be faster. I could retire but having too much fun with work, and I'll be hiring and expanding, so spending the $500K will be easy.
We do not plan to return except for holidays.Comment

I was wondering about that too. I vaguely recall the minimum increased to $900k or even $1.8m (depending on location and sector), but I thought that was back in 2018 or 2019.Comment

It's pointless to maintain operations in the UK if you can't serve UK clients without having to deal with the idiocy of HR and IR35. One job we bid on, we were told our employees would have to go through an umbrella rather than be employed by us. On another, we were told they'd be determined inside even if they owned less than 5% of the company. Sheer lunatics, can't be bothered any longer.Comment
