What Is Included in the Package

Company Formation in Less Than 3 Hours

We lodge your incorporation filings electronically with Companies House using direct register links. Your UK entity is typically incorporated 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).

Free Wise Business Account

To help you manage international payments, receive foreign transfers, and handle client invoices, every package includes access to 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

Once approved by the Registrar, your official digital Certificate of Incorporation is generated. This document acts as legal proof that your company has been registered under the UK Companies Act 2006.

Digital Share Certificates

You will receive officially structured digital Share Certificates detailing the initial share distribution, nominal share values, and shareholder ownership structures for your new business entity.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

We supply a digital Memorandum of Association, which serves as the formal legal statement signed by all founding subscribers confirming their commitment to form the company and take at least one share.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

Your package includes standard digital Articles of Association outlining the statutory regulations, directorial powers, administrative operations, and voting rights governing your company’s internal operations.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

In addition to digital files, we produce a hard-copy printed Certificate of Incorporation on heavy-duty card stock, giving you an official physical document suitable for executive presentations, legal audits, or banking requirements.

Printed Share Certificates

We provide high-quality printed Share Certificates for your company’s shareholders, establishing physical records of ownership from day one.

Staying Compliant After Year One

Running a UK limited company from Bermuda requires adherence to UK statutory maintenance rules governed by Companies House and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). Maintaining compliance ensures your company remains active and avoids strike-off actions or financial penalties.

1. The Annual Confirmation Statement

Every UK company must deliver a Confirmation Statement at least once every 12 months. This document verifies that your public company record—including your registered office address, director details, Persons with Significant Control (PSCs), and primary business activity (SIC code)—is up to date. Under this package, Form My Company prepares and files your first statement free of charge, with ongoing management included in your annual renewal.

2. Statutory Accounts Filing

All UK limited companies must prepare annual financial statements for Companies House and HMRC, even if the business is dormant or operating solely outside the UK. Filing deadlines depend on your financial year-end. Your online user dashboard will track upcoming financial deadlines so you can coordinate with your accountant.

3. Register Maintenance

Directors must maintain official internal registers of company officers, shareholders, and PSCs. Any changes to your operational structure—such as issuing new shares, changing directors, or updating internal governance rules—must be updated in your internal records and reported to the UK registrar.

4. Official Mail Monitoring

Government bodies such as Companies House, HMRC, and the UK Courts send statutory notices via physical mail. By using our Bolton BL1 1BR address and digital forwarding service, you ensure all statutory correspondence is received, scanned, and uploaded to your dashboard promptly, preventing missed legal deadlines while you are in Bermuda.
