Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Kiribati

Starting a UK limited company from Kiribati can be handled remotely, without travelling to the UK or maintaining a physical presence there simply to complete the incorporation process. Form My Company’s Non-UK Residents package brings the core formation documents, UK address services, mail handling, statutory administration and ongoing support together in one service.

The process is designed for founders in Kiribati who want to establish and manage a UK company from abroad. You can complete the process online, receive digital company documents, and use the included Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address so that your residential address in Kiribati does not need to be used as the public-facing company address.

What is the Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation service?

The service provides a remote route to forming a UK limited company while you remain based in Kiribati. Form My Company handles the formation administration and provides the documents and address arrangements needed for the package, while Companies House remains responsible for processing the incorporation application.

You do not need to travel to the UK to use the service. This makes the package suitable for founders who intend to manage their company internationally and need a practical way to receive UK company correspondence and documents while living in Kiribati.

For official information, you can review GOV.UK guidance on registering a private limited company and the Companies House fees guidance.

What is included in the 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). The application is prepared for submission to Companies House, after which the registrar processes the incorporation.

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 opportunity to apply for a business account alongside the company formation process, although the final decision belongs to Wise.

Digital Certificate of Incorporation

Digital Certificate of Incorporation is provided as part of the package. It is the principal digital document confirming that the company has been incorporated, and it can be kept with your other company records for use when evidence of incorporation is required.

Digital Share Certificates

Digital Share Certificates provide a digital record of the shares issued to the company’s shareholders. Keeping these documents with the company’s formation records makes it easier to maintain a clear record of ownership.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) is included as part of the incorporation documentation. It records the subscribers’ agreement to form the company and is retained as part of the company’s corporate records.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

Digital Articles of Association (AoA) are included to document the company’s constitutional rules. The Articles provide the framework for how the company is administered and how its directors and shareholders operate within the company structure.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

Printed Certificate of Incorporation provides a physical version of the incorporation document. This can be kept with your company’s paper records alongside the digital copy.

Printed Share Certificates

Printed Share Certificates provide physical evidence of the company’s issued shares and can be retained in the company’s 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). This means printed company documents can be arranged for delivery to Kiribati rather than requiring you to collect them in the UK.

Maintenance of statutory books

Maintenance of statutory books helps keep the company’s required corporate records organised after incorporation. For a founder managing a company from Kiribati, having these records maintained in the UK can reduce the administrative work involved in keeping company information together.

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 company’s registered information remains accurate.

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 provides the UK address used for the company’s official correspondence and is a public company address.

For a founder living in Kiribati, using the Bolton BL1 1BR address means you do not need to use your home address in Kiribati as the company’s registered office. The Registered Office Address service provides further information about how the address service works.

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

Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private. The service address provides a separate public correspondence address for the director, helping keep the director’s residential address in Kiribati away from the public-facing service address.

The director still needs to provide accurate residential information where required for company records, but the public service address can be different. This is particularly useful when a founder wants to keep personal and company correspondence separate while managing the company remotely.

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).

The What Is Official Government Mail guide explains the types of correspondence covered by the service.

International tracked delivery

International tracked delivery provides a tracked option for sending physical documents internationally. For a founder based in Kiribati, this gives visibility over the delivery of physical company documents sent from the UK.

No complicated administrative paperwork

No complicated administrative paperwork is included as a feature of the package. The formation and associated administration can therefore be handled remotely rather than requiring you to arrange each core service separately.

Priority 24/7 customer support

Priority 24/7 customer support is included for customers managing their UK company from abroad. For founders in Kiribati, access to support around the clock can be useful when UK business administration needs attention outside normal local working hours.

No hidden charges

No hidden charges is a stated package feature. The package sets out its included services and applicable terms, while specific postal or renewal charges described in the individual feature terms remain payable where they apply.

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

Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7 gives you a central online location for your company documentation. This is useful when the company is being managed from Kiribati because you can access relevant records remotely rather than depending on physical files held in the UK.

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). This provides the stated first-year service bundle and establishes the renewal structure for keeping those services in place.

Non-Residents

£500

+ £100 Companies House Fee

Pricing and renewal terms

The package’s annual renewal terms should be distinguished from Companies House statutory filing fees and from charges that arise when physical documents are shipped internationally. The package states an Annual Renewal Fee of £399 for the first 12 months only, then renewing on the terms set out above.

The registered office element separately states that the Bolton BL1 1BR address is free for the first year and renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date. Before renewal, review the current package terms so you understand which services are renewing and what charges apply.

Companies House publishes its own statutory fees separately. The current official fees page can be checked before any filing where a government charge may apply.

Staying compliant after year one

Remote management does not remove the need to keep a UK company’s statutory information and filings up to date. After the first year, you need to ensure that your registered office and director service address arrangements remain active and that the company’s confirmation statement and other applicable obligations are dealt with on time.

Renewing the package keeps the stated statutory books maintenance, confirmation statement preparation and filing, Bolton BL1 1BR registered office, director service address protection and international mail forwarding arrangements in place under the renewal terms.

If you prefer to handle a confirmation statement separately, the File a Confirmation Statement service explains the available filing service.

Why choose Form My Company?

For a founder based in Kiribati, the practical benefit of this package is that the core company formation and administration services are brought together for remote use. You do not need to travel to the UK simply to form or manage the company through this package, and the address and mail services provide a UK-based point for official company correspondence.

The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address are also relevant where privacy matters. Instead of using a residential address in Kiribati as the public-facing company or director correspondence address, the package provides UK address arrangements designed for those purposes.

The package gives you access to digital company documents, international document delivery, an online dashboard and 24/7 support, helping make remote company administration more manageable when you are based outside the UK.

No assumptions about Kiribati tax, banking, immigration or local business rules are needed to use the formation service. If your company activities create tax, regulatory or reporting obligations in Kiribati or elsewhere, those questions should be considered separately with your own professional advisers.
