There is no requirement to be a UK resident or citizen to set up and run a limited company in the UK. You can complete the entire UK company formation process online without traveling here, which is especially convenient for non-residents. The Best way to Register UK Company Non Residents explains how the company formation process works. It also outlines the information you need to provide to set up a UK company as a non-resident.
How to register a company in the UK
To register a company in the UK, you need to complete a formal application form. The process is very simple, and it's the same whether you live in the UK or overseas. The most efficient way to form a company is to use a reputable online company formation agent, like Rapid Formations. We make the process as easy and stress-free as possible by providing everything you need to set up a UK company as a non-resident. This includes specially tailored packages, a simple application form, and professional advice and assistance every step of the way. So, let's look at the 4 simple steps you need to follow to set up a company online through Rapid Formations.
Step 1: Choose a company name
The first step in UK company formation is to choose a company name and check that it is a valid name to register. To find out if your proposed company name has been taken, simply enter it into the name search tool on our homepage. If the company name is available, you can form the company. However, if it is already in use, you will have to modify the name until you find one available to register.
Step 2: Select one of our Non-resident Company Formation Packages
The next step in the formation process is to choose a package to register your new company. At Rapid Formations, we’ve designed two Non-Resident Packages to suit the specific needs of non-residents who wish to set up a limited company in the UK. Our Non-Resident Package provides everything you need to form a UK company and start trading, including:
Step 3: Add optional extras and check out
Once you have selected your company formation package, you will have the opportunity to add ‘optional extras’ (additional services) to your order before checking out and completing the application form. These optional extras include:
Free consultation with a leading London accountancy firm to discuss financial and tax matters
Apostilled Document Service to legalize your company documents for overseas use
Company Seal to emboss official paperwork with your company name and registration number
Additional service addresses (if your company has more than one director, shareholder, and PSC)
Step 4: Complete the online application form
The final step in UK Company Formation is to complete our simple online application form. To do this, you will need to provide the following details about your company and the people who own and manage it:
Company name
Your chosen company name will automatically be added to the form. Check the name for spelling mistakes. In addition, ensure that the letter case and spacing are correct and that you include ‘Limited’ or ‘Ltd’ at the end.
Registered office address
Our London registered office address will automatically be added to the form. This will be your company’s official address, which will appear on public records. All government correspondence from Companies House (the UK Registrar of Companies) and HMRC (the UK’s tax authority) will be delivered to this address. When such mail is received, we will scan and email it to you the same day.
