I agree with most of what you said, but just want to clarify for others that VAT registration is optional until revenue is high enough to reach the threshold.

Not being VAT registered when starting out is not necessarily a sign of a tax dodge.

This is correct. You do not need to register a business for VAT in the UK unless you hit a specific threshold of income (I think £80k was the figure when I last checked)
