"The simple fact is that companies are too easy to obtain in the UK at present. You can go online and buy a company almost instantly. You can go to Companies House and form a company in a matter of minutes. You don't even have to prove to Companies House who you are. You don't have to physically sign a form. There are no checks on anything. And for a sum of well under £50, a new company is yours."
