Frequently asked questions
Yes, you do not need to live in the UK to form a UK limited company. If you are at least 16 years old and not disqualified, you can form a company regardless of nationality or location.
Quality Company Formations provide a Non-Residents Package which is ideal for overseas customers who wish to form a UK limited company, as it provides the required address services and free international delivery of company documents. It also provides a Wise UK business bank account, which is the simplest and quickest banking solution for non-UK residents.
You will be forming a limited company, also known as a private company limited by shares. This is the most popular type of company in the UK and is appropriate for most business activities.
No. The entire process can be completed online, with companies generally formed in 3 - 6 working hours.
The company will need at least one director, one shareholder, and, generally, one person with significant control (PSC). One person can take on all these roles, or they can be shared amongst multiple people (the PSC is typically also a shareholder).
Yes, you can add additional services later from the Shop area in your Company Manager Portal; however, they will not be at the discounted prices of the packages.
Yes absolutely. Please call our Customer Service Team on 020 3908 0044 and one of our company experts will process your company formation order with you by telephone.
Forming a limited company is a simple online process; however, before starting the process you will need the following information to hand: the company name, registered office address, director details, shareholder details (can be the same person as the director), and how many shares you want to issue.
For further reading, please have a look at our resource page: Information Required to Register a Company, which provides a useful company formation checklist.
We offer a WorldFirst UK business bank account referral for our non-UK resident customers, to obtain a UK bank account number and sort code.
WorldFirst provide international business banking with coverage worldwide, allowing you to spend in over 40 currencies and open over 10 local currency accounts.
From PayPal and Shopify, to Amazon and AliExpress, get paid easily no matter where in the world your customers reside.
Once your company has been formed, we will send you a link by email to apply for your WorldFirst UK business bank account. If successful, WorldFirst will send you your UK bank account number and sort code.
It will take you no more than 5 to 10 minutes to complete the online company application form on our website. Companies House will then usually take 1 working day to approve your new company registration, although this is subject to the processing time of the Proof of ID and Proof of Address documents.
You must issue at least one share to form a limited company. If there is more than one shareholder, you must issue at least one share per person. Most new companies issue up to 100 Ordinary shares of £1 each. Issuing 100 share at £1 means you have flexibility to issue shares to other shareholders in the future and your liability is limited to £100.
The registered office and service address are legally required to form a limited company or LLP, and both are displayed on the public record. The registered office is the official address of a company, and the service address is the official address of a company director, PSC, company secretary or LLP member.
We provide a Registered Office Service and a Service Address Service, as many customers prefer to keep their home address private. All official government mail is sent to these addresses and as part of our service we will forward this mail to you by scan and email free of charge.
The business address is not a required address to register a limited company. The benefit of the Business Address Service is to provide a prestigious location and enhanced corporate image for your company. The forwarding of your general business correspondence is charged at the cost of the Royal Mail postage rates plus a 15% handling fee.
All mail will be forwarded to you. Official government mail (such as mail from Companies House, HMRC, and the ICO) is covered by the Registered Office Service and Service Address. General business mail is covered by the Business Address Service.
Any official government mail that arrives for you will be scanned and then emailed to you. This mail will also be accessible from the Client Portal.
Business mail can either be physically mailed to you, or we can also scan and email this post through our Digital Mailroom facility (saving you the postage costs).
A SIC code or Standard Industrial Classification code is used to categorise a company's business activity. To register a limited company or LLP you must choose at least one SIC code, although you can choose up to four. Do not worry if you do not know the SIC code relevant to your business activity, Quality Company Formations provide a simple SIC code search tool where you can choose your SIC code or codes.
As soon as your new company has been registered at Companies House, we will send you an order fulfilled email. Within this email you will receive a voucher code and instructions on how to set up your new domain using the 'names.co.uk' website.
All company formation agents have a legal obligation to check Proof of ID and Address; however, most customers do not need to do anything, as we carry out digital checks using the information supplied in your online company application form.
Those customers who require to provide ID can do so in a matter of minutes using their mobile phone and a simple App which we will provide. This App is supplied free of charge.
It is a simple process to close a limited company. Quality Company Formations offer a Company Dissolution Service at a cost of £49.99 + VAT. This cost includes the Companies House fee, filing the DS01 form and providing the Board Resolution to approve the dissolution of the company.
