Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Hungary

Starting a UK limited company does not require you to relocate to the UK. For founders based in Hungary, the Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation package from Form My Company provides a remote route to setting up a UK company while you continue to manage your business from Hungary.

The entire formation process can be completed remotely. You do not need to travel to the UK or maintain a physical presence there simply to complete the incorporation process. The package combines company formation with the practical administration, document handling, registered office and director service address arrangements needed to manage a UK company from abroad.

Your company can use the registered office and director service address in Bolton BL1 1BR, meaning your Hungarian residential address does not need to be used as the company’s public-facing service address. Companies House confirms that a director’s usual residential address is kept on a private register, while a service address can be used for public correspondence.

The package is therefore suited to founders in Hungary who want to establish a UK company remotely and have the ongoing administrative side handled alongside the incorporation.

What the Non-UK Residents Package Is Designed For

The package is designed for founders living outside the UK who want to form a UK limited company without managing every administrative step themselves. You can complete the process remotely from Hungary and receive your company documents digitally, while physical documents can be delivered internationally where required.

A UK company must have an appropriate registered office address in the UK. GOV.UK states that the registered office must be a physical address in the UK and that someone acting for the company must be able to receive correspondence there.

The package provides a Bolton BL1 1BR registered office address together with a director service address, helping separate your company’s public correspondence arrangements from your private residential address in Hungary.

What’s Included in the Hungary 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).

This gives you a streamlined route from submitting your information to receiving your incorporation documents. The actual processing time remains dependent on Companies House and the quality and completeness 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 referral can give eligible founders an additional route to business banking arrangements after incorporation, although approval remains entirely with Wise.

Digital Certificate of Incorporation

Your digital Certificate of Incorporation provides the official evidence of your company’s incorporation. GOV.UK explains that the certificate confirms that the company legally exists and includes information such as 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 and can be stored with your other company records.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

The Memorandum of Association is part of the company’s incorporation documentation. A digital copy gives you an accessible record of the document associated with your company’s formation.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

The Articles of Association set out rules concerning the internal management of the company. Keeping a digital copy makes the document readily accessible when you need to refer to your company’s governance arrangements.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

Alongside the digital version, you receive a printed Certificate of Incorporation for your physical company records.

Printed Share Certificates

Printed share certificates provide a physical record of share ownership and can be retained with your company’s statutory 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).

For a founder based in Hungary, this means physical documents can be arranged for international delivery rather than requiring you to travel to the UK to collect them.

Maintenance of statutory books

The package includes maintenance of your company’s statutory books, helping keep important corporate records organised as your company continues operating.

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).

A confirmation statement is an important recurring Companies House obligation. The current Companies House fee schedule lists a £50 digital confirmation statement fee from 2026, so keeping track of the filing requirement is an important part of ongoing company administration.

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 where official company correspondence is directed. Using the Bolton BL1 1BR address gives your UK company a dedicated registered office without requiring you to rent a physical office in Britain.

Free Director Service Address

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

Your director service address provides a public correspondence address for your directorship. This can be particularly useful when you are managing the company from Hungary and do not want your Hungarian home address used as your public 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; documents classed as official government mail are listed on the Official Government Mail Guide blog post).

This is particularly relevant to a non-UK resident because official correspondence does not have to depend on international delivery before you become aware of it. Eligible government mail received at the registered office can be scanned and forwarded digitally according to the package terms.

International tracked delivery

Tracked delivery provides a way to send physical company documents internationally while giving you delivery tracking for the shipment.

No complicated administrative paperwork

The package is structured to simplify the formation process so that you can provide the required information remotely without having to manage a complicated paper-based process yourself.

Priority 24/7 customer support

For founders working from Hungary, support availability can be useful when your working hours do not perfectly match UK business hours. You can obtain assistance while managing your UK company from another time zone.

No hidden charges

The package is presented with its included features and stated renewal terms, allowing you to understand the ongoing cost of the services included after the initial period.

Online user dashboard

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

The online dashboard gives you a central place to manage company documents and access your company information remotely. This is useful when your company is being managed from Hungary rather than from 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 renewal arrangement brings several recurring administrative services together rather than requiring you to arrange each one independently.

Non-Residents

£500

+ £100 Companies House Fee

Pricing and Renewal Terms

The initial package price should be checked on the current Form My Company package page at the time you place your order, as service pricing can change. The important recurring cost specified for this package is the £399 Annual Renewal Fee.

The renewal covers statutory books maintenance, confirmation statement preparation and filing for the applicable period, the Bolton BL1 1BR registered office, director service address protection and international mail forwarding. Royal Mail charges remain payable by the customer where applicable.

It is also worth separating Form My Company’s service charges from statutory Companies House fees. Companies House currently lists the digital incorporation fee as £100 and the digital confirmation statement fee as £50 from 2026.

Staying Compliant After Year One

Incorporation is only the beginning of running a UK company. You must continue to keep the company’s information and statutory records properly maintained and meet the filing obligations that apply to your company.

A confirmation statement is required at least once every 12 months, including for companies that have not traded. The purpose is to confirm that key information held by Companies House remains accurate.

Your company may also have other obligations depending on its activities and circumstances. The appropriate accounting, tax and legal advice should be obtained from your own professional advisers where those matters depend on your individual situation or your activities in Hungary.

For routine corporate administration, the package’s statutory books maintenance, registered office and confirmation statement support provide a continuing administrative framework.

Why Choose Form My Company for UK Company Formation from Hungary?

For a founder living in Hungary, the main practical benefit is being able to handle the UK formation process remotely rather than organising a UK visit simply to establish the company.

The package also combines formation with the administrative infrastructure needed afterwards. The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office gives the company a UK address for official correspondence, while the director service address provides a separate public-facing correspondence address for the director.

The mail forwarding arrangement is another important part of a non-UK resident setup. Official government correspondence received at the registered office can be handled under the package terms, while international tracked delivery is available when physical documents need to reach Hungary.

Form My Company also provides access to an online dashboard and priority 24/7 customer support, giving you a way to manage the company remotely even when your working hours differ from those in the UK.

Before ordering, you should also review the current official Companies House requirements for company registration, including the information and address requirements. GOV.UK: Register your company

The current Companies House fee schedule is available through GOV.UK: Companies House fees.
