Scores 0–10: higher = more favourable for that criterion in the model (CFC reading: high score = weak/no CFC if you are tax-resident here).

Cost of operating

Band: Low

Companies House formation is very cheap (~£100–124). Cost shifts to the confirmation statement, an accountant, and possibly an audit above thresholds. A lean Ltd with no UK employees can stay reasonable; VAT, payroll or local substance quickly raises professional fees. High credibility, low entry ticket.
