It's easy.
Takes about 15 mins with a few hoops to jump through.
Get trading 212.
You will get asked some questions. It's all easy enough. Yeah yeah get on with it...
You will need national insurance number.
You will need to sign form about dividend tax from American shares.
We have an agreement not to pay the American tax as we are UK. It's simple enough. You just agree .
Transfer say £10 to trading 212

Difference being I have had some great advice on here to make me a bit more comfortable to try it out. I don’t mind dabbling with 5k but I wouldn’t dare with any more than that. I have budgets for all of my hobbies and this is the first for me with trading. But at least I am willing to give it a go. You may take the mick but I will be the one making millions, think on !!!!!!!!!lol - sure y'are.

I think so.So you say you're going for trading.
Years back I created a sandbox account on IG. I think I received $800 in play money. Built my account to something like $3-4k within a few weeks, however if I'm being honest I think it was as much down to good luck than anything else!Difference being I have had some great advice on here to make me a bit more comfortable to try it out.
