Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Denmark

Form My Company provides a comprehensive formation package designed specifically for residents of Denmark who wish to establish a UK limited company without the need for physical travel. This all-inclusive service ensures your business meets every legal requirement set by Companies House while providing the professional infrastructure needed to trade globally. Choosing Form My Company means you are partnering with an authorised agent that understands the specific compliance hurdles faced by international directors.

What the Non-Resident Package Includes

Ready to trade Limited Company 

A limited company is a distinct legal entity incorporated under the Companies Act 2006, meaning it has its own legal personality separate from its owners. In the UK, this structure provides limited liability protection, ensuring that your personal assets in Denmark remain shielded from business debts or legal actions.

Form My Company ensures your entity is fully registered and ready for immediate commercial activity the moment approval is granted. You receive a company that is legally “live,” allowing you to sign contracts, hire employees, or apply for licenses without delay.

Business Bank Account 

A UK business bank account is a dedicated financial tool required to manage corporate funds, separate from personal finances. For a non-resident, opening a traditional “high street” account can be difficult due to strict anti-money laundering regulations and residency checks.

You receive an introduced business bank account through our fintech partners, tailored for non-residents. This allows you to accept payments in GBP and other currencies, facilitating trade with UK customers and providing the essential IBAN or sort code details required for your invoices.

International Delivery of Document 

Official corporate documents, such as your Certificate of Incorporation, are often required in physical form for legal verification, notarisation, or opening accounts in Denmark. While digital copies are standard, physical “hard copies” carry a level of authenticity often demanded by foreign banks and government agencies.

Form My Company manages the secure international dispatch of your printed certificates directly to your address in Denmark. This removes the logistical headache of arranging couriers and ensures you have the original, embossed documents necessary for your permanent corporate records.

Limited Company Included

 The term “Limited Company” refers to the entire legal structure, including the shares, the memorandum, and the official entry on the UK’s registrar of companies. It is the vehicle through which you will conduct your professional affairs and build brand equity.

Form My Company includes the full incorporation within this package, meaning the £100 Companies House filing fee is already covered. You do not have to worry about separate government invoices; the entity is created and handed over to you as a complete, legally compliant package.

Fastest Online Filing Submission

 Online filing is the process of submitting your incorporation data electronically to Companies House via a secure software link. This method is significantly faster than paper applications, which can take weeks to process and are prone to manual errors.

By using the direct software integration at Form My Company, your application is prioritised in the electronic queue. This means your data reaches the registrar’s desk instantly, bypassing the postal system and ensuring your Danish-led business is registered in the shortest possible timeframe.

Premium 12 Month Company Filing Service 

UK companies must maintain an accurate public record by filing an annual Confirmation Statement and ensuring all statutory registers are updated. Failure to meet these deadlines can result in financial penalties or the company being struck off the register.

You receive 12 months of proactive filing support, where we handle the administrative burden of keeping your company in good standing. This service, worth over £200, ensures you never miss a deadline while you focus on growing your business from Denmark.

VAT Registration 

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax levied on goods and services in the UK; registration is mandatory once turnover hits a specific threshold, though voluntary registration is often beneficial for reclaiming input tax. For non-resident companies, the rules regarding “place of supply” can be complex.

Form My Company handles the application process with HMRC to secure your VAT number. Having this number allows you to trade professionally with other VAT-registered businesses in the UK and Europe, often making your pricing more competitive and your business appear more established.

Dormant Accounts Filing Service 

A dormant company is one that has had no “significant” financial transactions during a financial year, yet it must still file simplified accounts to remain on the register. If your company is active, you instead require professional accounting to manage Corporation Tax and annual returns.

We provide the choice of either a free dormant filing service if you aren’t ready to trade yet, or a £110 credit towards our full accounting packages. This flexibility ensures that whether your Danish business starts slowly or hits the ground running, your UK tax compliance is supported.

PAYE Registration

 Pay As You Earn (PAYE) is the system HMRC uses to collect Income Tax and National Insurance from employees. Even if you are the sole director and resident in Denmark, you may need PAYE registration to pay yourself a salary or hire UK-based staff.

Form My Company registers your business for PAYE, ensuring you have the necessary employer reference numbers. This setup is crucial for legal payroll management and ensures that any remuneration you take from the company is documented correctly for tax purposes.

Trading Address, Bolton BL1

 A trading address is a professional location where your business receives daily correspondence and presents a “bricks and mortar” presence to the public. It differs from the registered office as it is the address you provide to customers and suppliers for general enquiries.

You receive the use of our Bolton BL1 address for your marketing materials and letterheads. This gives your Danish business a credible UK footprint, reassuring British clients that you have a local point of contact, without the high costs of renting physical office space.

Registered Address, Bolton BL1

 Under the Companies Act, every UK company must have a registered office address in the UK where official mail from HMRC and Companies House can be delivered. This address is a matter of public record and must be maintained at all times.

Form My Company provides this prestigious Bolton address to serve as your official legal headquarters. We receive and digitalise your government mail, ensuring you stay informed of legal notices while keeping your private residential address in Denmark off the public register.

Directors Address, Bolton BL1

 A Director’s Service Address is the location where legal papers can be served to an individual director. Since 2009, directors have been able to use a service address to keep their home address private from the public viewable register at Companies House.

By using our Bolton BL1 address for your service address, your home location in Denmark remains confidential. This protects your privacy and prevents unsolicited marketing mail or “doorstep” visitors from reaching your personal residence.

Printed Share Certificates 

Share certificates are the formal documents that certify ownership of a specific number of shares in a company. While digital records exist, printed certificates are often required for legal due diligence, securing investment, or during the sale of the business.

We provide high-quality, printed share certificates that clearly state your ownership stake. These are dispatched alongside your other corporate documents, providing a tangible asset that confirms your equity in the UK company.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

 The Certificate of Incorporation is the “birth certificate” of your company, featuring the unique company number and the date of formation. It is the primary proof that the company legally exists and is registered with the UK government.

Form My Company provides a professional, printed version of this certificate. This is essential for opening traditional bank accounts or entering into high-value contracts where a digital PDF might not be accepted as sufficient proof of existence.

Digital Incorporation Certificate

 A digital incorporation certificate is a secure PDF version of your company’s founding document. It contains the same legal weight as the paper version but is optimized for electronic sharing and instant verification.

You receive this digital copy via email the moment your company is approved. This allows you to immediately begin online applications for software, merchant accounts, or services that require proof of your new UK business status.

Digital Articles of Association

 The Articles of Association serve as the company’s constitution, defining the rules for internal management, director powers, and shareholder rights. They are legally binding and must be submitted to Companies House during the formation process.

We provide a professionally drafted digital set of Articles that are compliant with the Companies Act 2006. These provide a solid legal foundation for your business, ensuring that governance is clear and standard, which is vital if you ever decide to take on partners or investors.

Digital Share Certificates 

Digital share certificates are electronic records of share ownership. They are easily stored, backed up, and transmitted, making the administration of your company’s equity straightforward and paperless.

These are issued to you immediately upon formation. Having digital certificates ensures that you can provide proof of ownership to stakeholders or financial institutions instantly, without waiting for the post to arrive in Denmark.

Digital Company Register

 Every UK company is required by law to maintain a set of statutory registers, including the Register of Members, Register of Directors, and Register of PSCs. These must be kept up to date to reflect any changes in the company’s structure.

Form My Company provides a digital version of these registers, making it easy for you to manage your corporate secretarial duties. This ensures your Danish-managed company remains compliant with UK record-keeping laws at all times.

Free Accountancy Consultation

 A consultation with a UK accountant provides clarity on complex issues like the UK-Denmark Double Taxation Treaty and Corporation Tax obligations. Understanding how to move money between your UK company and your Danish personal accounts is vital for tax efficiency.

You get a dedicated session with a professional accountant to discuss your business model. This expert advice helps you avoid common pitfalls and ensures you set up your financial workflows correctly from day one.

HMRC UTR Number 

The Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) is a ten-digit code issued by HMRC to identify your company for tax purposes. It is required for filing Corporation Tax returns and all official communication with the UK tax authorities.

Once your company is formed, HMRC automatically generates this number and sends it to the registered office. Because you are using our Bolton address, Form My Company ensures this critical number is captured and relayed to you, so you can register for taxes without delay.

Web authentication code 

The Web Authentication Code is a six-character alphanumeric code used to “sign in” to the Companies House online filing service. It acts as the digital signature for your company, allowing for the electronic submission of changes and returns.

We provide this code to you as soon as it is issued. This gives you full control over your company’s online record, enabling you to update directors, change addresses, or file annual statements securely through the government portal.
