Quick answers

UK limited company formation FAQs

Can a non-UK resident form a UK limited company?

Yes. Directors do not have to live in the UK, although the company still needs compliant UK registration details.

What information do I need?

Usually the company name, directors, shareholders or guarantors, PSC details, business activity, SIC code and registered-office information.

What identity verification is required?

Companies House identity verification requirements apply to directors and people with significant control. We can help you understand the relevant filing steps, while verification must be completed through an approved route.

Does formation include a bank account?

No. Incorporation and banking are separate. Banks make their own eligibility and due-diligence decisions.

Is a registered office required?

Yes. A UK limited company needs an appropriate registered-office address in the jurisdiction where it is registered.

What happens after incorporation?

The company has ongoing filing, record-keeping, accounts and tax responsibilities. Additional support can be arranged separately.

Can I check whether a company already exists?

Yes. Use our UK company search to check public Companies House records.
