    I have a feeling this is one those threads where the OP is looking for an answer and he's going to do it anyway.

        Maybe he's one of those nice philatelistic or whatever type people that live giving their money away to good causes and he's actually saving starving children in war torn africa. You'll feel bad calling him a money launderer if that's the case... BIDI.

          I cannot access the money at all in any way directly, indirectly, remotely, etc, and cannot gain anything from the use of that money in any other way

          My goal is to have a shareholder who can legally withdraw dividends without doing anything even slightly dodgy or shady whatsoever
          So fill in company house forms to make Mr Tarax Dodger (lets call him) a director

          Send form to whatever bank is holding your funds as presumably you have failed KYC + passport + utility bills + contact of employment

          Bank will release funds to Mr Tarax dodger

          Mr Tarax Dodger can then send you the funds

          Top tip
          Don’t send over £10K in one go, don’t use same bank to send funds

                  Sounds more like Antifa to me.

                  In all seriousness, you may be breaching the terms and conditions of your contract if you are not in full control of your limited co.

                    business doesn't gain anything at all, the shareholder is not putting in or has out in any capital or has or will provide any expertise etc
                    I just want the shareholder to have money to use how they please and I have no idea how they will use it

                      I will never see the money again in any capacity or benefit in any way from its use or investment in any way, lets say the shareholder will blow the money on themselves for example
