I don't dislike that they at least want to see you in real life once tbh. I love ease of registration like anyone else, but with tax avoidance and all that, idk. Feels right to me to have at least seen yourself once.

Well, they ask for proof such as a valid passport or id card.

that's an interesting question

how much would it cost to pay someone "1 hour away by train" to go into that office for you?

		Sometimes criminals do put pressure on people to register companies in their name and show up to these meetings. Whether that's addicts, people with mental disabilities, or young people looking for a quick buck, the fraud mechanism is the same. However, that does put the company in their name. On paper, they have full control over it. That's a risk to the criminals trying to use the company as a financial asset for laundering money.

		With a fake ID? That becomes pretty expensive
