I live in Sweden (EU). I intend to start a company. It'll be a webshop, taking payment in Bitcoin. Is there a way to run it anonymously? I don't need to hide from the police, I just don't want my name to be public record.
>registering a company abroad (registered agent, nominee board of directors)
>running the site without writing the company behind it anywhere
Any other ideas? How much would registered agent services cost me? Could I run it without having a company, and declaring it as income?

Use Monero or wait till Ethereum gets the anonymity function supported. Pivix is still an unknown, but it's an option. Dash is a possibility as well, but we'll see how long it lasts.
I don't know how it works in Sweden, but in the US you can run a company as a sole proprietorship. If you don't want to do business under your name, you need to file a "doing business as" for whatever you want to go by.

Yeah, I don't think the level of anonymity you want exists. Consumer protection being a concern and all.

Maybe OP could open a company in one of the tax havens? They are pretty opaque

I think you'll run into problems if you actually want to do business rather than just forming a holding company offshore somewhere.

I don't see what prevents me from not publicizing the name of the company though. I won't need any payment manager or anything.

That's what I was thinking. How much would it cost me?

No, as long as I pay VAT I'm good, as long as I don't qualify as "based in Sweden". Maybe it would be a problem since I'm Swedish though.
Does anyone have experience running a webshop? Any tips?
