We have created a unique package for non-residents who wish to set up a private limited company in the UK. Competitively priced at just £124.99 plus VAT, our Non-Residents Package provides online company registration from anywhere in the world in just 3 to 6 working hours (subject to Companies House workload, it may take longer).
Our Non-Residents Package includes limited company formation with Companies House and a full set of digital company documents delivered to you by email. Printed and bound copies of these documents will be delivered to your overseas address by premium courier within two to three days of your company's incorporation. You will also receive three London address services; Registered Office, Service Address (for one person), and a Business Address for a period of one year.
Other benefits include: free access to our secure Online Company Manager, where you can view your company details at any time and inform Companies House of any changes; VAT registration; a Confirmation Statement service at the end of the first year; maintenance of statutory registers; an introduction to a reputable accountant with a free consultation in London or by Skype / telephone; and a Legal Contracts and Notices Package.
If you were to buy the items included in this package individually, it would cost a total of £532.99. Therefore at a discounted price of £124.99, you will enjoy a huge saving of £408.00 plus VAT.
Do I have to live in the UK to register a limited company?
No, you can register a UK limited company from anywhere in the world. The only requirements are that you have one director and one shareholder (the same person can assume both positions) and your company has a registered office address in the UK (included in the Non-Residents Package).
Do I have to use this package to form my company?
No. You can incorporate a limited company using any of our packages; however, this one is specifically designed for non-UK residents and represents the best value for money.
Can I use my home address instead of those provided?
Yes. You can choose to use another address if you would prefer. This applies to your Registered Office, Service Address and Business Address. Please remember, your Registered Office address must be a UK address. The package cost will remain the same should you choose not to use any of the inclusive services.
Will my company mail be forwarded internationally?
All mail will be forwarded to you, regardless of where in the world you are located. All mail is covered by one of the three address services included in this package: registered office and service address mail will be scanned and emailed to you, free of charge. General business mail will be forwarded at the cost of the Royal Mail postage plus a 15% handling fee.
Do I have to file my company changes with Companies House?
Our free Online Company Manager facility allows you to make changes to your company easily from one centralised login. Just file your updates using our website and we will take care of the rest, making sure everything is kept up to date at Companies House.
This package also includes the preparation and filing of your first Confirmation Statement (previously known as the Annual Return), whereby we will complete your return and ensure it is completed accurately and on time with Companies House.
Will you file my annual accounts?
This package does not cover the filing of company accounts, but we will introduce you to an accountant who can help with this. We have partnered with one of the UK’s top accountancy firms and we will put you in contact with them for a free initial consultation. Please note, you should agree all fees directly with the accountancy firm.
Are there any extra costs?
Registered office and service address mail (official government mail) will be scanned and emailed to you free of charge.
After the first year, address services can be renewed at the standard cost you see today.
How much will this package cost after the first year?
This package includes three renewable address services and the filing of your Confirmation Statement (previously known as the Annual Return) which can also be renewed on a yearly basis. The cost of renewing all four services after your first year will be £195.99 plus VAT.
* All registered office and service address mail (official government mail) will be scanned and emailed to you free of charge. Business address mail will be forwarded to you at Royal Mail International postal rates plus 15% handling charge.
** Your printed company documents will be sent to you free of charge by premium courier.
