Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Malta

Forming a UK company from Malta can be completed remotely through Form My Company, without requiring you to travel to the UK or maintain a physical presence there. This package is designed for founders who want to establish a UK limited company while managing the formation process from abroad.

The service combines incorporation support with the documents, addresses, mail handling and first-year administrative services needed to keep the company organised after registration. Your company can use the Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address, so your Malta home address does not need to be used as the company’s public registered office or your director service address.

You can review the official GOV.guide to registering a company for the government process and requirements. Companies House guidance confirms that a company registration involves an official registered office address and information about directors, shareholders and people with significant control.

What this service is and who it is for

The Non-UK Residents package is intended for founders based in Malta who want to form and manage a UK company remotely. The process is handled online, so you do not need to travel to the UK simply to complete the formation process.

It can suit an entrepreneur starting a new venture, a consultant or freelancer establishing a company structure, an online business owner, or an overseas founder who wants UK company administration handled through one service. Tax, accounting and other specialist questions should be considered with your own advisers.

A key practical benefit for an overseas founder is having a UK address arrangement in place from the beginning. The Bolton BL1 registered office is the company’s public official address, while the director service address provides a separate public correspondence address for the director. Form My Company explains the distinction in its guide to registered office versus director service address.

What’s included

Company formation in less than 3 hours

The company formation service is designed for incorporation in less than 3 hours (subject to Companies House processing times, weekends and bank holidays; delays may occur if incorrect or incomplete information is submitted or due to technical complexities). The service is completed remotely from Malta, with the required formation information supplied online.

Free Wise Business Account with a UK account number and sort code

The package includes a Free Wise Business Account with a UK account number and sort code. (Wise Business Account applications are subject to eligibility and are approved entirely at the discretion of Wise; Form My Company acts only as a referrer and does not guarantee account approval).

Digital Certificate of Incorporation

You receive a digital Certificate of Incorporation after the company has been formed.

Digital Share Certificates

Digital Share Certificates are included for the company’s shareholders. These provide an electronic record of share ownership.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

The package includes a digital Memorandum of Association (MoA). The memorandum is one of the documents associated with incorporation.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

You also receive digital Articles of Association (AoA), which set out rules for running the company and form part of its corporate documentation.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

A printed Certificate of Incorporation is included alongside the digital company records, giving an overseas founder a physical copy for company administration and document storage.

Printed Share Certificates

Printed Share Certificates are also supplied, providing a physical record alongside the company’s digital documents.

International document delivery

International document delivery is available for customers who need physical documents sent to Malta (if post or documents need to be received at the customer’s address, standard mail handling charges apply; each scanned item emailed is charged at £2 per copy; shipping charges are on the Document Shipping page — link this).

The Document Shipping page explains the available international delivery arrangements and applicable shipping charges.

Maintenance of statutory books

The package includes maintenance of statutory books, helping keep the company’s required corporate records organised after incorporation. This is useful for a founder managing the company remotely and wanting core records maintained in the UK service environment.

Free Confirmation Statement preparation and filing

The package includes Free Confirmation Statement preparation and filing (free for the first year; renewal available through this package for the applicable renewal fee via the File a Confirmation Statement service — link this).

A confirmation statement is an ongoing Companies House requirement, so keeping this annual obligation in view is important even where a company is managed entirely from Malta. The File a Confirmation Statement service provides a separate service where filing is required after the included period.

Free prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1 1BR

The package includes a Free prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1 1BR (free for the first year; renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date).

The registered office is the public address associated with the company. Using the Bolton address means you do not need to use your Malta home address as the company’s public registered office, subject to the service and Companies House requirements.

Free Director Service Address

The package includes a Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private.

For a founder based in Malta, this provides a UK public correspondence address for the director rather than requiring the Malta home address to be used as the public service address. The distinction between the registered office and director service address is also explained by Form My Company in its address guidance.

Free registered office mail forwarding for 1 year

The package includes Free registered office mail forwarding for 1 year (free for the first year; eligible official government correspondence is scanned and digitally forwarded; the first 10 scanned copies are free, each additional scanned copy is £2; a printed copy of an eligible document is provided free, but Royal Mail postage/delivery charges to the customer are payable by the customer; shipping charges are on the Document Shipping page — link this; documents classed as official government mail are listed on the Official Government Mail Guide blog post — link this).

This arrangement is useful when you are managing the company from Malta and need visibility of important UK correspondence without waiting for every letter to reach you physically. The What Is Official Government Mail guide explains what can fall within official government correspondence.

International tracked delivery

International tracked delivery is available for documents sent to Malta. Tracking can provide a clearer delivery record when physical company documents need to travel internationally.

No complicated administrative paperwork

The package is structured to avoid complicated administrative paperwork for the customer. You provide the required information and documents, while the formation and included administrative services are organised as part of the package.

Priority 24/7 customer support

Priority 24/7 customer support is included. This can be useful for a Malta-based founder who needs assistance outside standard UK working hours or who is managing company matters across different schedules.

No hidden charges

The package includes no hidden charges. The stated package terms apply, while charges expressly identified for items such as international document shipping, scanned copies and renewal are payable where applicable.

Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7

You receive access to an online user dashboard for managing company documents 24/7. For an overseas founder, online access makes it easier to keep company information available without relying on a physical UK office visit.

Annual Renewal Fee of £399, covering.

The Annual Renewal Fee of £399 covers, for the first 12 months only, then renewing: statutory books maintenance, the first year’s confirmation statement preparation & filing, the BL1 1BR Bolton registered office address, director service address protection, and international mail forwarding (Royal Mail charges payable by the customer).

+ £100 Companies House Fee

Pricing and renewal terms

For an overseas founder, separating first-year inclusions from later renewal services makes the ongoing cost easier to understand. Review the applicable terms before the renewal date.

The package is designed to provide formation and a defined group of first-year services in one arrangement. The first year includes the stated address, confirmation statement and mail-forwarding benefits, while the annual renewal keeps the relevant ongoing services in place.

The Annual Renewal Fee is £399 under the package terms supplied for this service. The package states: Annual Renewal Fee of £399, covering (for the first 12 months only, then renewing): statutory books maintenance, the first year’s confirmation statement preparation & filing, the BL1 1BR Bolton registered office address, director service address protection, and international mail forwarding (Royal Mail charges payable by the customer). The registered office component separately states that it renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date, so customers should review the package’s current renewal terms before renewal to understand which fee applies to their particular service arrangement.

Government filing fees can change independently of a formation agent’s service pricing. Companies House currently lists its statutory fees on the official Companies House fees page, which is the appropriate place to check the latest government charges.

Staying compliant after year one

After the first year, the company still needs ongoing administration. Keeping the registered office active, maintaining statutory books and filing the confirmation statement are practical parts of maintaining the company’s records.

A Malta-based founder should also keep company information current whenever relevant details change. Changes involving directors, shareholders, people with significant control or the registered office may require appropriate company records or filings.

The renewal arrangement is intended to make several recurring services easier to manage together. It covers the stated statutory books maintenance, confirmation statement preparation and filing, Bolton BL1 registered office, director service address protection and international mail forwarding, subject to the renewal terms.

For broader ongoing administration, Form My Company’s Company Secretarial Service can also be relevant where a company needs support with eligible company changes and statutory records.

For founders in Malta, remote administration also means planning how documents and correspondence will be accessed over time. The package keeps the principal company records available digitally and provides international delivery options when a physical document is needed. This can reduce the need to coordinate company paperwork through a UK-based contact or make a trip simply to collect documents.

The service also keeps the company address and the director address distinct. The registered office belongs to the company, while the director service address is associated with the individual director. This distinction is useful when completing incorporation information because it helps the founder decide which address should be used for each purpose instead of treating every address field as interchangeable.

The registered office address service explains that a registered office is the company’s official address for formal correspondence and appears on the public Companies House register. For a Malta-based founder, using the included Bolton address therefore provides a clear UK point for official company correspondence while the business itself can be managed remotely.

The package is also structured around the practical reality that incorporation is only the beginning of company administration. Once the company exists, documents need to be retained, statutory information needs to remain organised and annual requirements need to be considered. The included dashboard, statutory book maintenance and first-year confirmation statement support bring those tasks into the same service.

Where a physical document needs to be sent overseas, the Document Shipping page sets out the available shipping arrangements and applicable delivery charges. International tracked delivery is particularly relevant when the founder wants a record of the document’s journey to Malta. Customers should allow for delivery times and any circumstances outside the provider’s control when planning for original paperwork.

Official correspondence should also be treated as time-sensitive. The What Is Official Government Mail guide explains the types of statutory correspondence that may arrive at a registered office, including communications from Companies House, HMRC and other recognised government bodies or courts. Having eligible correspondence scanned and forwarded means the overseas founder can see important mail without being physically present at the Bolton address, but the responsibility to review and act on that correspondence remains with the company and its officers.

A remote formation service therefore works best when the founder keeps their contact information accurate, monitors the online dashboard and responds promptly when information or documents are requested. The package provides administrative infrastructure; it does not replace the founder’s responsibility to ensure that the company’s records and filings are correct.

Why choose Form My Company

For a founder based in Malta, the practical attraction of this package is that the formation process can be managed remotely without a UK visit. It combines incorporation documents with UK address services, first-year administrative support, mail forwarding and online document access.

The Bolton BL1 registered office and director service address are particularly relevant to overseas founders who do not want their Malta residential address used as the company’s public registered office or the director’s public service address. The distinction between the company address and director address also helps keep company administration clearly organised.

International document delivery and tracked shipping provide options when original or printed documents need to reach Malta. Meanwhile, 24/7 support and an online dashboard provide a practical way to manage company information while working outside the UK.

The package should be viewed as a company formation and administration service, not as a substitute for independent tax, accounting or legal advice. Where your circumstances raise questions about your obligations in Malta or elsewhere, take advice from an appropriately qualified adviser.
