Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Sweden

If you are based in Sweden and want to establish a UK limited company, you can complete the formation process remotely without travelling to Britain. The Non-UK Residents package from Form My Company brings incorporation, company documents, UK address services, mail handling, and first-year administrative support together in one package.

The entire process can be managed from Sweden. You do not need to maintain a physical presence in the UK to complete the formation process, and the service is structured for founders who want to manage their company from abroad. Your company can use the Bolton BL1 registered office and director service address, so your Swedish home address does not need to be used as the company’s public registered office or the director’s public service address.

The service is also designed around digital administration. For related address planning, see the Bolton BL1 Registered Office Address service and the Registered Director Service Address. Companies House confirms that a private limited company can be registered online, and that the incorporation process results in a Certificate of Incorporation once the company is registered.

What this service is and who it is for

This package is for founders living outside the UK who want a UK limited company and need practical support with the administrative side of setting it up. It is particularly suited to a founder in Sweden who wants to submit information remotely, receive company documents digitally and physically, and have a UK address available for statutory correspondence.

What is included in the Sweden package

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).

For a founder in Sweden, the practical benefit is that the application can be prepared and submitted remotely rather than requiring a visit to the UK. The stated timeframe is not a guarantee of Companies House approval, because the registrar’s processing time and the quality and completeness of the information submitted remain relevant.

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 applicants an account option to consider after formation. Account approval is a separate decision made by Wise, so founders in Sweden should treat this feature as an application referral rather than a guaranteed banking outcome.

Digital Certificate of Incorporation

Digital Certificate of Incorporation.

The digital certificate provides an accessible electronic record of the company’s incorporation and can be stored securely with the company’s other records.

Digital Share Certificates

Digital Share Certificates.

Digital share certificates provide an electronic record of the shares issued to the company’s shareholders, making ownership documentation easier to manage remotely.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA).

The Memorandum of Association forms part of the company’s incorporation documents and provides an accessible digital record for the company files.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

Digital Articles of Association (AoA).

The Articles of Association set out rules for the company’s internal administration. Keeping the digital copy available is useful when reviewing the company’s constitutional documents while operating from Sweden.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

Printed Certificate of Incorporation.

A physical certificate is supplied alongside the digital documentation, giving you a tangible corporate record that can be retained with your company’s paperwork in Sweden.

Printed Share Certificates

Printed Share Certificates.

Printed share certificates provide a physical counterpart to the digital share records and can be retained as part of your company’s corporate documentation.

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 Swedish founder, this means physical company documents can be sent internationally rather than requiring collection in Bolton. Shipping and mail-handling charges should be checked before requesting physical delivery.

Maintenance of statutory books

Maintenance of statutory books.

Statutory books are an important part of company administration because they record key information about the company and its ownership and management. Having these records maintained as part of the package reduces the amount of routine corporate administration you need to organise yourself from Sweden.

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 ongoing Companies House filing obligation. The package covers the first year’s preparation and filing, while later filing support can be arranged through the File a Confirmation Statement service. Companies House currently lists a £50 digital confirmation statement fee following the fee changes introduced in 2026. See the current Companies House fees

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 registered office is the company’s official address for statutory correspondence and is shown on the public register. Using Bolton BL1 1BR means you do not need to use your Swedish home address as the company’s registered office.

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 service address is the public correspondence address associated with the director. Using the Bolton BL1 service address helps keep your Swedish residential address separate from the public-facing service 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).

For someone managing a company from Sweden, digital forwarding makes it easier to see eligible official correspondence without waiting for international post. The service covers qualifying official government mail rather than every type of commercial correspondence. Form My Company’s guide to what is official government mail explains the types of statutory correspondence covered by the guide.

International tracked delivery

International tracked delivery.

Tracked delivery provides visibility when physical documents are sent internationally. For a founder in Sweden, tracking can make it easier to monitor the progress of corporate paperwork travelling from the UK.

No complicated administrative paperwork

No complicated administrative paperwork.

The package is intended to simplify the administrative process by bringing the core formation documents and address services together. You still need to provide accurate information and complete any required verification, but the service reduces the need to coordinate multiple separate formation tasks.

Priority 24/7 customer support

Priority 24/7 customer support.

Round-the-clock support is particularly useful when you are working from Sweden and your working hours do not always match UK office hours. It gives you a point of contact for questions about the services included in your package.

No hidden charges

No hidden charges.

The package is presented with its stated inclusions and renewal terms. Where the feature itself identifies separate costs, such as shipping, scanned copies or Royal Mail delivery, those charges remain payable as described rather than being treated as included.

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 online dashboard provides a central place to manage and access company documentation, which is useful for a Swedish founder because core company administration can be handled remotely.

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 renewal terms should be reviewed before the first year ends so that address protection, mail handling and included filing support continue without interruption. Royal Mail charges remain payable by the customer where physical forwarding is requested.

Non-Residents

£500

+ £100 Companies House Fee

Pricing and renewal terms

The package’s stated annual renewal fee is £399 for the services listed above after the first 12 months. The registered office feature separately states that the Bolton BL1 1BR address renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from its renewal date, so the applicable package terms should be checked when renewal becomes due.

The statutory Companies House incorporation fee is separate from Form My Company’s service pricing where applicable. Companies House currently lists the digital incorporation fee at £100, so founders should check the latest official fee information before submitting an application.

Staying compliant after year one

Formation is only the beginning of company administration. After the first year, you should continue to monitor the company’s statutory information, maintain its records and deal with required filings on time. Form My Company’s Company Secretarial service can also be relevant when ongoing statutory administration grows.

The confirmation statement is particularly important because it confirms that key information held at Companies House remains accurate. If your company details change, do not wait for the next annual review simply because a confirmation statement is due later. Address changes, director changes and other reportable matters should be dealt with through the appropriate Companies House process.

If you need help with annual filing after the included first year, the File a Confirmation Statement service is available for ongoing filing support. You should also retain copies of important corporate documents and monitor official correspondence received at the Bolton BL1 registered office.

Why choose Form My Company

Form My Company is designed to make UK company administration practical for founders who are not based in Britain. For a founder in Sweden, the main advantage is having incorporation, documentation, a UK registered office, a director service address, first-year confirmation statement support and mail handling brought together rather than arranging each element independently.

The Bolton BL1 1BR address also provides a clear separation between the company’s public correspondence arrangements and your Swedish residential address. The online dashboard supports remote document management, while 24/7 support is suited to founders who may be working outside conventional UK hours.

The package is best understood as an administrative formation and support service rather than a substitute for professional advice on matters specific to your own circumstances. If you have questions about tax, accounting or other obligations in Sweden or elsewhere, take advice from an appropriately qualified adviser who can assess your situation.
