Common questions

Answers before you commit.

Yes. UK residency is not generally required to own shares in or act as a director of a UK private limited company. The incorporation remains subject to Companies House requirements, identity verification and applicable eligibility rules.

Your identity is verified through our secure KYC process using trusted third-party identity verification providers, including Credas and Onfido, where appropriate. These checks help us confirm your identity and complete our customer due-diligence requirements in line with applicable UK AML and data-protection requirements. Depending on the verification result and your circumstances, we may request additional information or supporting documents.

For a standard application, we normally require: a valid passport or eligible identity document; proof of your current residential address, such as a utility bill or bank statement dated within the last three months; your proposed company name; and a clear description of the business activities you intend to carry out. Additional information may be requested where required by our compliance review.

Once your KYC verification has been successfully completed and we have received the required company information, a standard UK company incorporation typically takes 1–2 business days. Processing remains subject to Companies House review and approval, so exact completion times cannot be guaranteed.

Rejections are usually caused by a name conflict or a document issue. We tell you the reason, correct the filing and resubmit at no extra service fee. If the company genuinely cannot be formed, our refund policy applies.

A director's residential address is generally kept private where a separate service address is used. The company must still maintain an appropriate registered office, which appears on the public register.

Potentially. Eligibility depends on the provider, founder residence, business activity, KYC, source of funds and expected transactions. Forming a UK company does not guarantee banking approval, and we never promise it.

Yes. We provide banking-readiness and application support where included in your package or purchased separately. Final approval is always made by the financial provider.

No. Package prices are fixed and stated up front, including the Companies House incorporation fee. Address services renew annually at the published rates — registered office £59/year and director service address £35/year — and we tell you the renewal date in advance.
