Forming a UK limited company from Uruguay can be completed remotely, without travelling to the UK or maintaining a physical presence there simply to complete incorporation. The Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation & Registration package from Form My Company is designed for founders who want to manage the formation process from Uruguay while having the UK address, document and administrative services needed to operate the company from abroad.
The process is completed online. You can provide your company information remotely, receive digital incorporation documents and manage company administration through an online dashboard. Where physical documents or official correspondence need to reach you in Uruguay, international delivery and mail-forwarding options are included within the package terms.
A UK company must have an appropriate registered office address in the UK. GOV.UK confirms that directors do not have to live in the UK, while a company must have a UK registered office address. The address is publicly available on the Companies House register, so using the included Bolton BL1 1BR registered office can help ensure that your Uruguay home address does not need to be used as the company’s registered office.
What the Non-UK Residents Package is for
This package is intended for founders based in Uruguay who want to incorporate and administer a UK company without making UK travel part of the process. It brings incorporation documents, statutory administration, address services, mail handling, international delivery and ongoing support into one package.
It is suitable for founders who expect to manage their company from Uruguay, whether the business is already planned or is being established as a new international venture. The service does not make assumptions about your tax position, banking eligibility or local requirements in Uruguay; those matters should be considered with your own professional advisers.
For reference, Companies House currently lists the online incorporation fee for a private limited company at £100 and says applications are normally processed within 24 hours, although complex applications can take longer. The Form My Company package has its own stated formation timeframe below. GOV.UK company registration guidance
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).
For a founder in Uruguay, the application can therefore be handled remotely rather than requiring a trip to the UK. Completion remains dependent on Companies House processing and the quality of the information supplied.
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).
The banking application is separate from company incorporation. Wise makes its own eligibility and verification decision, so the package should not be treated as a guarantee of account approval.
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
The Digital Certificate of Incorporation provides electronic evidence that the company has been incorporated. It can be stored with your company records and accessed from Uruguay without waiting for international post.
Companies House explains that the certificate confirms the company’s legal existence and shows its company number and date of formation.
Digital Share Certificates
Digital Share Certificates provide electronic records of the shares issued to the company’s shareholders. They give you convenient digital evidence of share ownership for your corporate records.
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) is included among the company’s formation documents. Keeping it digitally available makes it easier to manage your corporate records from Uruguay.
Digital Articles of Association (AoA)
Digital Articles of Association (AoA) are also supplied digitally. They form part of the company’s constitutional documents and set out rules concerning how the company is run.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
Printed Certificate of Incorporation provides a physical copy alongside the digital version. This is useful if you prefer to maintain a hard-copy corporate file or need a physical company document.
Printed Share Certificates
Printed Share Certificates provide physical versions of the share documentation. If you are based in Uruguay, international document delivery can be used where physical documents need to reach your address.
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 Uruguay-based founder, physical company documents can therefore be sent internationally under the applicable delivery arrangements. Shipping costs should be checked before requesting physical dispatch.
Maintenance of statutory books
Maintenance of statutory books keeps the company’s required corporate records organised as part of the package. This can be useful when directors and shareholders are managing the company remotely from Uruguay.
Company records should continue to reflect the company’s actual position, with relevant changes dealt with through the appropriate records and filings.
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 requirement used to confirm that company information remains accurate. The package covers preparation and filing for the first year. File a Confirmation Statement service.
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 company’s UK registered office. Companies House requires a registered office to be a physical UK address in the relevant jurisdiction and to be appropriate for receiving company correspondence.
For a founder living in Uruguay, this means the Uruguay residential address does not need to be used as the company’s public registered office address.
Free Director Service Address
Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private.
A director’s service address is the correspondence address shown for the director on the public register. Using a separate service address can therefore help keep a residential address from being used as the public director correspondence address, while the genuine residential address still has to be supplied where required. Director 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).
This is designed for remote administration from Uruguay. Eligible official government correspondence received at the Bolton registered office can be scanned and digitally forwarded so you can review it without waiting for ordinary international post. What Is Official Government Mail
International tracked delivery
International tracked delivery provides tracking for physical documents sent internationally. For a founder in Uruguay, tracking makes it easier to monitor the progress of printed company documents travelling from the UK.
No complicated administrative paperwork
No complicated administrative paperwork means the package is designed to keep the formation workflow straightforward. You provide the information required for incorporation while the service handles the included administrative elements.
Accurate and complete information remains important because incorrect or incomplete information can delay processing.
Priority 24/7 customer support
Priority 24/7 customer support is available for founders managing their company from different time zones. For someone working from Uruguay while UK company administration is being handled in Britain, around-the-clock support provides flexibility when questions arise.
No hidden charges
No hidden charges means the package is presented according to its stated service terms rather than relying on unexpected additions. Where a feature expressly states that a separate charge applies, such as international shipping or additional scanned copies, that charge remains payable under the stated terms.
Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7
Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7 provides a central digital location for company documentation. This is particularly practical when day-to-day business activity is managed from Uruguay while the company’s statutory administration is UK-based.
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 first 12 months include the listed ongoing services. After that period, the package renews according to the stated annual renewal terms, with Royal Mail delivery charges remaining payable where applicable.
Non-Residents
+ £100 Companies House Fee
Pricing and renewal terms
The package price should be checked at the point of purchase, together with any Companies House statutory fee that applies. Companies House currently lists online incorporation at £100, although government fees can change. Companies House fees
For this package, the supplied renewal terms specify an Annual Renewal Fee of £399 covering the listed first-year services. The registered office feature separately states that it renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date, so the applicable renewal information should be reviewed before payment.
Staying compliant after year one
Remote incorporation does not remove ongoing company administration. Company information should remain accurate, official correspondence should be monitored and required filings should be completed on time.
The confirmation statement is one recurring Companies House requirement. GOV.UK’s current fee guidance lists a £50 online confirmation statement filing fee, while the package includes first-year preparation and filing under its stated terms.
Your registered office and director service address should remain appropriate and accessible. If directors, shareholders, addresses or other company particulars change, the relevant records and filings should be updated rather than relying solely on the annual confirmation statement.

Why choose Form My Company
For a founder in Uruguay, the main practical benefit is remote administration: the incorporation process, company documents, UK address services, mail handling and support can be managed without making UK travel part of the formation process.
The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address provide a clear separation between the company’s public UK correspondence arrangements and a founder’s residential address in Uruguay. Companies House requires a suitable UK registered office, and directors must provide a service address for public correspondence.
The package combines digital and printed documentation, international delivery, statutory-book maintenance, first-year confirmation statement support and an online dashboard. For founders working across the Uruguay-UK time difference, priority 24/7 customer support provides additional flexibility.
The package is focused on company administration rather than assumptions about tax, banking or local obligations in Uruguay. Those matters can depend on individual circumstances and should be considered with appropriately qualified advisers.
