Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Serbia

Starting a UK limited company from Serbia can be handled remotely, without travelling to the UK. This package is designed for founders based in Serbia who want a UK company with incorporation documents, a Bolton BL1 registered office, a director service address, document handling and first-year administrative support in one arrangement.

The entire process is completed remotely from Serbia — no UK visa, travel, or physical presence is required to form or run the company. International delivery options also provide a practical route for receiving physical documents in Serbia.

A UK company must have an appropriate registered office address. Companies House guidance confirms that a registered office must be a physical UK address in the same country in which the company is registered. See the official Companies House registered office guidance for the government requirements.

What the Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation & Registration package is for

The package is for founders who live outside the UK but want to establish and manage a UK private limited company remotely. The service combines digital and printed corporate documents with address services, statutory book maintenance, confirmation statement support, mail handling, international delivery and ongoing customer support.

It does not replace professional legal, accounting or tax advice, so founders in Serbia should obtain advice relevant to their own circumstances where necessary.

What’s included

Company formation in less than 3 hours

Company formation 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 designed to keep the incorporation workflow straightforward, from providing company details through to receiving the completed company documents. The actual registration remains subject to Companies House processing.

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

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).

This gives eligible founders an option to apply for business banking support as part of the wider formation journey. Banking is a separate provider decision, so approval should never be treated as an automatic part of company incorporation.

Digital Certificate of Incorporation

Digital Certificate of Incorporation provides electronic evidence that the company has been incorporated. Companies House explains that the certificate confirms the company legally exists and shows its company number and formation date.

Digital Share Certificates

Digital Share Certificates provide an electronic record of the shares issued to the company’s shareholders. They form part of the company’s corporate documentation and can be stored with the other formation records.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) records the subscribers’ agreement to form the company. It is one of the constitutional documents associated with incorporation.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

Digital Articles of Association (AoA) set out the rules for running the company. Keeping these documents accessible gives the founder a clear record of the company’s constitutional framework.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

Printed Certificate of Incorporation provides a physical copy alongside the digital version. This can be useful when you want a paper corporate record or need to retain printed company documentation in Serbia.

Printed Share Certificates

Printed Share Certificates provide physical evidence of the company’s shareholdings for your corporate records. They complement the digital share certificates supplied with the package.

International document delivery

International document delivery (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).

For a founder in Serbia, physical formation documents can be arranged for international delivery subject to the stated charges.

Maintenance of statutory books

Maintenance of statutory books helps keep the company’s core corporate records organised. Statutory records should reflect the company’s current structure and relevant changes over time, so keeping them maintained is part of sensible ongoing administration.

For broader ongoing administration, the Company Secretarial service can be considered where additional support is needed.

Free Confirmation Statement preparation and filing

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 important recurring Companies House filing used to confirm that the information held on the company register is accurate. The File a Confirmation Statement service provides a separate route for future filing support when the included first-year provision no longer applies.

Free prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1 1BR

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 Bolton BL1 1BR address provides the UK registered office arrangement included in the package. For a founder living in Serbia, this means a Serbian home address does not need to be used as the company’s registered office address.

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

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

A director’s service address is different from the director’s usual residential address. Companies House requires directors to provide a service address and a usual residential address; the service address is the public correspondence address. Using the Bolton BL1 1BR service address can therefore help keep your Serbian residential address separate from the public-facing director correspondence address.

Free registered office mail forwarding for 1 year

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 is particularly useful when the company is managed from Serbia, and there is no founder based at the Bolton address to check official correspondence. The What Is Official Government Mail guide explains the type of statutory correspondence covered by the service.

International tracked delivery

International tracked delivery provides a trackable delivery option for physical company documents sent internationally. For a Serbia-based founder, this provides visibility over the shipment after documents leave the UK.

No complicated administrative paperwork

No complicated administrative paperwork.

The package is structured to make the formation workflow easier to manage remotely. You still need to provide accurate information and complete any required verification, but the administrative process is organised around an online application and digital document management.

Priority 24/7 customer support

Priority 24/7 customer support.

For a founder working from Serbia, support that is available around the clock can be useful when your working hours do not match standard UK office hours. It provides a direct point of assistance while you manage the formation and related company administration remotely.

No hidden charges

No hidden charges.

The package terms set out the included first-year services and the renewal arrangement. Where the feature terms specifically identify additional costs, such as Royal Mail postage or document shipping, those charges remain payable where applicable.

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

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

The dashboard provides a central place for managing company documentation digitally. This is particularly practical for an overseas founder because the company can be administered from Serbia without relying on physical access to a UK office.

Annual Renewal Fee of £399

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 company renewal information explains how ongoing package services are handled.

Pricing and renewal terms

The package is structured around first-year formation and support, followed by an annual renewal arrangement. The annual renewal fee specified for this package is £399 for the listed services, while the registered office element specifically states that it renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date. Where the package terms and a checkout price differ, review the current purchase terms before ordering.

Companies House also charges statutory filing fees. Its current published fee information lists the online incorporation fee at £100 and the confirmation statement fee at £50 from 1 February 2026. These are government charges and can change independently of Form My Company pricing. See the official Companies House fees page for current statutory charges.

Staying compliant after year one

Formation is the beginning of the company’s administrative life, not the end. Keep the registered office and director service address current, maintain statutory records and deal with recurring filings by their deadlines.

The confirmation statement is separate from accounts and tax filings, so founders should not assume that this package covers every obligation a company may have. Review the company’s public information when directors, shareholders, people with significant control or addresses change. The official GOV.UK limited company guidance covers directors, records, people with significant control and registration requirements.

What happens after you buy

Provide your proposed company name, director details, shareholder information and other required incorporation information through the online process.
Complete any required identity or verification steps and make sure the information supplied is accurate and complete.
Form My Company reviews the information and prepares the incorporation submission for Companies House.
Once Companies House processes the application, your digital incorporation documents become available, and the company dashboard can be used to manage your records.
Printed documents can be prepared for international delivery, with tracked delivery available where applicable, and documents can be sent to Serbia subject to the stated shipping and mail-handling charges.

Why choose Form My Company

For a founder based in Serbia, the practical value of this package is its remote structure. You can remain in Serbia while using the Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address for the relevant UK address arrangements.

Digital documents, printed documents, statutory book maintenance, confirmation statement support, mail forwarding and an online dashboard keep key administration accessible without physical access to a UK office. International tracked delivery also gives visibility over physical shipments.

The service should be viewed as formation and administrative support rather than a substitute for professional legal, accounting or tax advice. The package is information and administrative support, not a substitute for professional legal, accounting or tax advice.

FAQs about Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Serbia

Can I form a UK company from Serbia without travelling to the UK?

A founder based in Serbia can complete the UK company formation process remotely without UK travel or physical presence. The package is designed around online formation, digital documents and remote company administration.

Does the package provide a UK registered office for my company?

The package includes a registered office address in Bolton BL1 1BR for the first year. This provides a UK address arrangement for the company without requiring the founder to use a Serbian residential address as its registered office.

Can the package keep my Serbian home address private?

The included Bolton BL1 1BR director service address can be used as the director’s public service address instead of the founder’s residential address. The director must still provide their genuine usual residential address to Companies House where required.

Can physical company documents be delivered to Serbia?

Physical company documents can be delivered internationally to Serbia subject to the package’s document delivery, mail-handling and shipping terms. International tracked delivery is also included as a feature for international physical shipments.

What will the annual renewal cost after the first year?

The stated annual renewal fee is £399 for the listed first-year services that continue under the renewal arrangement. The registered office terms separately state renewal at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period, so the current package and renewal terms should be checked before payment.
