Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Serbia 

Setting up a UK limited company from Serbia involves specific legal steps, which this package completely handles for you. It provides international entrepreneurs with a fully compliant British corporate structure, allowing you to trade globally without requiring UK residency. Form My Company is an officially authorised agent, ensuring your application goes directly to the government without delays.

What the Non-UK Residents Package Includes

Ready to trade Limited Company

Under the Companies Act 2006, a ready-to-trade limited company is a fully formed legal entity immediately capable of commercial activities. It holds an active status on the public register and possesses all statutory documents required to operate legally.

You receive a registered corporate entity, allowing you to sign contracts and issue invoices the moment incorporation is confirmed. This means you bypass usual waiting periods and start doing business with global clients from Serbia straight away.

Business Bank Account

A business bank account is a dedicated financial facility separate from your personal finances, required by UK law to manage corporate funds. It provides the necessary infrastructure to process international transactions, pay UK corporation tax, and handle staff payroll.

Entrepreneurs in Serbia get access to our banking partners, allowing you to hold sterling and foreign currencies securely. Managing cash flow becomes significantly easier when your company has its own professional financial presence to accept payments worldwide.

International Delivery of Document

Statutory incorporation documents are physical records proving the legal existence and ownership structure of a UK company. International delivery ensures these sensitive, legally binding papers are transported safely across borders using tracked courier networks.

Your printed certificates and registers are shipped directly to your residential or business address in Serbia. Holding the physical documents gives you the tangible proof often required by local banks or government authorities when establishing branch offices.

Limited Company Included

The legal formation of the entity itself is the core requirement for operating under the protection of limited liability in the UK. This structure separates your personal assets in Serbia from the financial obligations of the business.

We handle the entire incorporation process, meaning the legal entity is fully paid for and established within this package. You gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing your personal wealth is protected while you scale your operations.

Fastest Online Filing Submission

Companies House operates a digital gateway for authorised agents to submit incorporation data directly into their processing queues. Electronic filing bypasses the traditional postal delays and manual data entry errors that slow down the approval cycle.

Your application is transmitted instantly to the UK government the moment you complete our online forms. Serbian founders benefit from rapid processing times, often securing an active company number within hours rather than weeks.

Premium 12 Month Company Filing Service 

UK companies must file an annual Confirmation Statement with Companies House to verify their directors, shareholders, and registered office. Maintaining this public record is a strict legal requirement, and failure to comply results in financial penalties or forced closure.

We take care of this mandatory filing for your first full year of trading. You save over £200 in professional fees and avoid the stress of tracking UK compliance deadlines from abroad.

VAT Registration

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax assessed on the value added to goods and services, administered by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). Registration is mandatory if your taxable turnover exceeds the UK threshold, but can also be completed voluntarily.

Our team processes your VAT application with HMRC so you can charge tax on invoices and reclaim it on business expenses. Holding a UK VAT number instantly increases your credibility with large corporate clients who prefer dealing with tax-registered suppliers.

Dormant Accounts Filing Service 

Companies that do not trade during their financial year must still submit dormant accounts to Companies House to maintain their active status. Alternatively, trading companies require professional accounting services to prepare and file complex financial statements.

This flexibility ensures you are covered whether you start selling immediately or pause your operations temporarily.

PAYE Registration

Pay As You Earn (PAYE) is the system HMRC uses to collect income tax and National Insurance contributions directly from employee wages. Any UK company paying a salary to directors or staff must be registered under this scheme.

We set up your official employer profile with the UK tax authorities. Securing your PAYE reference allows you to legally draw a tax-efficient salary from your business, even while residing in Serbia.

Trading Address, Bolton BL1

A trading address is the primary physical location where a business conducts its daily operations and receives commercial correspondence from clients or suppliers. Unlike a registered office, it is the public-facing hub for customer interactions.

You gain the use of our prestigious Bolton BL1 facility to present a professional British footprint on your website and invoices. This masks your overseas location, helping you build trust with UK customers who prefer buying from local enterprises.

Registered Address, Bolton BL1

The registered office is the official legal headquarters of a UK company, mandated by the Companies Act 2006. It must be a physical location in the UK where statutory mail from government bodies like HMRC and Companies House is delivered.

We provide our secure Bolton BL1 address for your public company record, keeping your residential address in Serbia completely private. All official government mail is received here and digitally forwarded to you, ensuring you never miss a legal notice.

Directors Address, Bolton BL1

Every company director must supply a service address for the public register, which is separate from their usual residential address. This legal requirement protects the privacy and safety of corporate officers from unsolicited contact or identity theft.

Using our Bolton location as your director’s service address shields your home details in Eastern Europe from public view. You maintain total privacy while fully complying with strict UK transparency laws.

Printed Share Certificates

A share certificate is a formal legal document acting as prima facie evidence of title to the shares issued by a corporation. It details the specific number of shares owned, their nominal value, and the shareholder’s name.

You are sent high-quality physical certificates that provide tangible proof of your ownership in the newly formed business. Having printed copies is particularly useful when presenting corporate structures to investors or legal entities back home.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

The Certificate of Incorporation is the ultimate legal document issued by the UK government, confirming that a company has been successfully formed. It displays the company’s full name, unique registration number, and the exact date of its creation.

Receiving a physical copy on premium paper provides an authoritative document for your corporate records. You will often need to present this hard copy when opening merchant accounts or securing commercial leases.

Digital Incorporation Certificate

A digital incorporation certificate is the electronic equivalent of your company’s birth certificate, generated as a secure PDF directly by Companies House. It holds the exact same legal weight as the physical version for all statutory purposes.

The PDF is emailed to you the moment your application is approved. You can immediately forward it to payment gateways to begin verifying your merchant accounts without waiting for the post.

Digital Articles of Association

The Articles of Association serve as the internal rulebook for the company, dictating how decisions are made, shares are transferred, and directors are appointed. This statutory document is legally binding on all officers and shareholders.

We provide a fully compliant digital copy of standard model articles tailored for immediate use. You can reference these rules instantly from anywhere in the world to ensure your board decisions are legally sound.

Digital Share Certificates

Electronic share certificates are digital files that legally assign ownership of the company’s equity to its founding members. They provide a fast, environmentally friendly way to distribute proof of ownership without printing.

These PDFs are delivered straight to your inbox for immediate storage in your digital archives. You can easily share them with co-founders in Serbia or use them to verify your capital structure during online compliance checks.

Digital Company Register

The statutory company registers are a collection of mandatory legal logs detailing directors, shareholders, secretaries, and people with significant control. Maintaining these records is a strict legal obligation under UK corporate law.

You receive a fully populated digital register that precisely records your initial company structure. This keeps you instantly compliant from day one, meaning you are perfectly prepared for any unexpected due diligence requests.

Free Accountancy Consultation

Professional accountancy advice involves analysing a company’s planned financial activities to determine the most tax-efficient structure. It covers critical areas like corporation tax planning, dividend distributions, and cross-border trading rules.

Founders in Serbia secure a one-on-one session with our financial experts to map out their tax obligations. You get clear, actionable advice on how to extract profits legally and manage your UK tax liabilities alongside your local taxes.

HMRC UTR Number

The Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) is a ten-digit code assigned by HMRC to identify a business for all tax-related matters. It is automatically generated and dispatched shortly after a new company is incorporated.

We monitor the issuance of your UTR so you can register for Corporation Tax without delay. Having this number is essential for filing your annual returns and ensuring you remain in good standing with the UK tax authorities.

Web authentication code

The web authentication code is a highly secure, six-character alphanumeric password issued by Companies House. It acts as the digital signature for the company, authorising online updates to the public register.

You receive this code securely, giving you complete, independent control over your company’s online profile. You can use it to change your accounting reference date, update director details, or file confirmation statements directly.
