Actually, only a slightly harder time. If the company hasn't already locked down all the TLD's for their given name, then it's probably a piece of cake to register that company name in some locale and then get the EV for it. (I've done the EV verifications, and they're not really that challenging; and how could they be, since they have to validate companies all over the world, with varying amounts of paperwork, etc.) Keep in mind that companies in the United States are registered (generally with the Secretary of State) in their state, so now you've got fifty different ways of verifying just U.S. companies. Someone registered
ringaround, Ltd in California already? Just register it in Nevada, or Florida, or Delaware, or.. you get the picture. Many of these can be registered in about fifteen minutes with a credit card.
But not to pick on the U.S.. if you're from outside the country, the U.S. is actually a pretty nice place to base your company. But, if you were the EV company, how would you verify a company in Nevis or Timbuktu? How will you REALLY know if that company is even legit or if the company just hands out "Corp" or "Ltd" or "IBC" to anyone who pays $50 on a credit card?
EV isn't quite a joke, but it's not really as useful as the companies pushing it make it out to be.
