Non-UK Resident Banking Options

Through our extensive experience in working with non-UK residents, we understand the problems many have obtaining UK business banking facilities. Please find below our best options:

WorldFirst UK Business Account Referral

The simplest and quickest business banking solution for non-UK residents, and so we have included a referral to WorldFirst within our non-UK residents' package.

It provides international business banking with worldwide coverage, allowing you to open 10+ local currency accounts for free and spend in over 40+ currencies.

From Amazon and AliExpress, to PayPal and Shopify, you can get paid easily, no matter where in the world your customers are.

After your company is formed using our website, we will send you a link to create your business account, and you will very quickly receive your UK bank sort code and account number.

Prestigious London address services

Also included in the package price is the use of our Covent Garden address for one year. We will provide you with 3 address services; Registered Office, Service Address, and Business Address.

Apostilled Document Service

Many non-UK residents choose to open a bank account in their own country as opposed to in the UK; however, a bank in another country will normally require you to legalise or ‘apostille’ your UK company documents. Our Apostilled Documents Service can be added to any of our company formation packages on our Checkout page.

With this facility, our London Service Address will show on the public record rather than your home address. This service includes the scanning and emailing of all official government mail addressed to a company officer, from a number of government bodies, free of charge.

Mail from the following government agencies are covered by this service: Companies House, HMRC, Government Gateway, Department for Work & Pensions (DWP), The Pensions Regulator (TPR), Office for National Statistics, Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and Court documents.

VAT Registration (use at anytime)
×

VAT Registration (use at anytime)

Allow our highly trained staff to handle the formalities of your VAT registration.

If your turnover is expected to exceed £90,000 in the next 12 months, it is a legal requirement to register for VAT, unless the supplies are exempt.

If your turnover is not expected to exceed the £90,000 threshold, there are a number of reasons why many companies choose to register for VAT voluntarily. Here are some examples:

  • The ability to claim back VAT on goods and services purchased by the company.
  • Raise the corporate image of the company by appearing to be bigger than you actually are.
  • Enable deals with suppliers and customers who are not willing to deal with companies that are not VAT registered.

The VAT registration process explained

As soon as your company is incorporated, we will send you a questionnaire by email, asking for some additional information necessary to complete your VAT registration application with HMRC.

We will then apply for your VAT registration online. This process can take up to 30 days.

Once your VAT registration has been approved, we will send your VAT Registration Number to you by email. Your VAT Registration Certificate will be sent to you by post by HMRC.

Frequently asked questions

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. 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 address 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.

What is the Free Online Company Manager facility?

This is a facility which allows you to make changes to your company easily. 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.

Will you file my annual accounts?

This package does not cover the filing of company accounts; however, we have included a free introduction and consultation with an accountant as an optional extra item on the checkout page of this package.

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. General business correspondence will be forwarded to you at the cost of the Royal Mail postal charge plus a 15% handling fee.

After the first year, address services can be renewed at the standard cost you see today.

Do I need to supply proof of ID?

All company formation agents, including ourselves, have a legal requirement to check Proof of ID and Address documents. You can read more about our ID requirements here.

How much will it cost me after the first year?

This package includes three address services which can be renewed at a total cost of £161.00.

« 1st Formations had the most useful and competitive packages and their ordering process seemed so much easier than incorporating directly with Companies House. »
