Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Greece

If you are based in Greece and want to establish a UK limited company without relocating, the Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation & Registration package is designed for remote incorporation. You can complete the process from Greece without UK travel or physical presence, simply to form or manage the company.

The package combines incorporation documents, a UK registered office, director service address, first-year filing support, mail handling and international delivery. The Bolton BL1 address provides a UK location for official correspondence, while the director service address helps keep your residential address private.

This service focuses on UK formation and administration. It does not replace legal, tax or accounting advice about your circumstances in Greece.

What the Non-UK Residents package is and who it is for

The package is for founders living in Greece who want to form and manage a UK company remotely. The entire process can be handled online, allowing you to remain in Greece while your company has the UK address and document arrangements required by the package.

A UK company needs an appropriate registered office address. Using the included Bolton BL1 address means you do not need to use your Greek home address as the company’s registered office. A director service address provides a separate public correspondence address for the director.

Digital documents, online dashboard access, international delivery and 24/7 support reduce the need for routine physical access to the UK.

International document delivery

For founders in Greece, international delivery means physical company documents can be sent to your address rather than requiring UK collection. Applicable charges should be checked before requesting delivery.

Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private.

The stated annual renewal fee is £399 for the services covered by the renewal feature. International shipping and Royal Mail delivery charges are not the same as the annual renewal fee, so founders in Greece should review the applicable shipping terms before requesting physical mail or documents.

Staying compliant after year one

Remote management does not remove ongoing company responsibilities. After the first year, you should keep statutory books accurate, monitor Companies House information, review official correspondence promptly and complete required filings.

The registered office should remain appropriate and active, while the director service address should continue to provide a reliable correspondence route. Changes to company information may also require Companies House updates. The renewal keeps the specified services in place, but directors remain responsible for their company’s affairs.

Why choose Form My Company

For a founder in Greece, the main benefit is a remote-first arrangement covering incorporation and core administration, with a Bolton BL1 registered office, director service address, digital records and international delivery.

Privacy is another consideration. GOV.UK confirms that a registered office appears on the public register and sets out the requirements for company addresses. GOV.UK guidance on company addresses.
