Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Malaysia

If you are based in Malaysia and want to establish a UK limited company without relocating to Britain, the Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation package provides a remote route to incorporation and ongoing company administration. The entire process can be completed remotely from Malaysia, so you do not need a UK visa, travel to Britain, or physical presence in the UK simply to form or manage the company.

The service is designed for founders who want their UK company formation, statutory documents, registered office arrangements, director service address and first-year administrative support handled through one package. Your company can use a prestigious Bolton BL1 1BR registered office address while your residential address in Malaysia does not need to appear as the company’s registered office or your public director service address.

A UK company still has responsibilities after incorporation. Companies House explains that companies must keep their registered information accurate and comply with relevant filing requirements. Its official guidance also confirms that a company must have an appropriate physical registered office address in the correct UK jurisdiction.

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

This package is for founders in Malaysia who want to establish a UK company while continuing to live and work outside the UK. It combines incorporation-related documents with address services, statutory book maintenance, confirmation statement support, mail forwarding and ongoing administrative assistance.

You can complete the process remotely from Malaysia and manage your company through an online user dashboard. International document delivery and tracked shipping are also available where physical documents need to reach you in Malaysia.

The package does not mean that every UK company obligation disappears after incorporation. Directors remain responsible for the company and should obtain appropriate professional advice about tax, accounting and any obligations arising from their particular circumstances.

What’s 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 service is designed to keep the application process straightforward for founders applying from Malaysia. The stated formation timeframe relates to the service process and remains subject to Companies House processing and the other conditions above.

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 provides an option to apply for business banking support after forming your UK company. Approval is not automatic, and Wise makes its own eligibility and approval decisions.

Digital Certificate of Incorporation

The Digital Certificate of Incorporation provides an electronic copy of the company’s incorporation certificate. The certificate confirms that the company has been incorporated and contains important company information.

Digital Share Certificates

Digital Share Certificates provide an electronic record of the shares issued to the company’s shareholders. They form part of the company’s corporate documentation and can be stored digitally for convenient access.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

The Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) is supplied electronically as part of the company’s formation documents. The memorandum is one of the documents associated with the creation of a UK company. GOV.UK explains that the memorandum is a legal statement agreed by the initial shareholders or guarantors.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

The Digital Articles of Association (AoA) provide the company’s written rules for how it is run. GOV.UK identifies the articles of association as the rules governing the company’s operation and explains that companies can use standard model articles or appropriate bespoke articles.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

A Printed Certificate of Incorporation provides a physical copy of the company’s incorporation certificate. This can be useful when maintaining a paper corporate records file or when a physical company document is required.

Printed Share Certificates

Printed Share Certificates provide physical versions of the company’s share certificates. They complement the digital certificates supplied with the package and give shareholders a paper record of their share ownership.

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 founder based in Malaysia, this means physical company documents can be sent internationally when required. International delivery is particularly useful when you want to maintain both digital and physical copies of important company paperwork.

Maintenance of statutory books

Maintenance of statutory books keeps the company’s corporate records organised as part of the package. Statutory records are an important part of company administration, and directors should ensure that information remains accurate when company details change.

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 used to confirm that information held at Companies House remains accurate. Form My Company’s File a Confirmation Statement service provides further information about the filing process and applicable service terms.

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).

A registered office is the official address recorded for the company and is publicly available. GOV.UK states that a registered office must be a physical UK address in the same country of registration and must meet the appropriate address requirements.

For a founder in Malaysia, using the Bolton BL1 1BR address means you do not need to use your Malaysian home address as the company’s public 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’s service address is the correspondence address shown publicly for a director. The service can therefore provide a practical separation between your private residential address in Malaysia and the public address associated with your directorship. Your required personal information must still be supplied where Companies House requires it.

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 particularly relevant when you are managing your UK company from Malaysia. You do not need to travel to Bolton to check eligible official government correspondence. The What Is Official Government Mail guide explains the types of correspondence covered and why prompt handling matters.

International tracked delivery

International tracked delivery provides tracking when physical documents or packages need to be delivered internationally. For a Malaysian founder, this provides visibility over the journey of documents being sent from the UK to Malaysia.

No complicated administrative paperwork

No complicated administrative paperwork is included as a feature of the package. The service is structured so that the founder can complete the required formation process remotely rather than managing every stage of UK company administration independently.

Priority 24/7 customer support

Priority 24/7 customer support assists the clock. This can be useful for founders in Malaysia because your working hours may not always coincide with standard UK business hours.

No hidden charges

No hidden charges means the package is presented with its applicable service terms rather than relying on unexpected additions. Where a particular service, postal handling charge or shipping cost applies, the relevant terms should be checked before requesting it.

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 managing relevant company documentation. This is useful when your company is operated remotely from Malaysia, and you need access without visiting a UK office.

Annual Renewal Fee of £399, covering.

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 is designed to continue the core administrative and address services beyond the initial year. The separate £399 annual renewal amount should be distinguished from the £399.99+VAT renewal stated for the registered office address itself in the feature terms above.

Non-Residents

£500

+ £100 Companies House Fee

Pricing and renewal terms

The package purchase price should be checked on the applicable service page or at checkout because the fixed package information does not specify an initial package price. Any applicable Companies House statutory filing fee should also be checked against the current official government process. GOV.UK currently provides the official online company registration route and explains the incorporation process.

The package includes first-year support for the services specified above. After the first year, the Annual Renewal Fee of £399 applies for the stated ongoing package services. The registered office feature separately states that its address renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from its renewal date.

Before renewing, review the exact package terms applicable to your company and the renewal date. If you need a confirmation statement outside the package terms, the File a Confirmation Statement service provides the relevant service information.

Staying compliant after year one

Incorporation is the beginning of the company’s administration rather than the end of it. You should keep company information accurate, maintain statutory records and ensure relevant filings are completed on time.

A confirmation statement is one important part of ongoing Companies House administration. Companies House guidance explains that companies need to confirm their information remains correct, while directors remain responsible for company records, accounts and performance.

Your registered office should also remain active and appropriate. GOV.UK states that official correspondence must be capable of reaching the registered office and that the address must satisfy the applicable requirements.

For a founder living in Malaysia, remote management makes reliable mail handling particularly important. Official government correspondence can include Companies House, HMRC and other government or court communications. The Official Government Mail guide explains what is generally covered by the service.

You should also seek independent accounting or tax advice where necessary. The fact that your company is managed remotely from Malaysia does not remove the need to understand the obligations that apply to your company and its activities.

Why choose Form My Company?

For a founder in Malaysia, the main practical advantage of this package is that the formation and administration process can be managed remotely. You can remain in Malaysia while using a UK registered office in Bolton, a director service address and online access to company documents.

The package also brings several administrative services together rather than requiring you to arrange each feature separately. Digital and printed formation documents, statutory book maintenance, first-year confirmation statement support, registered office services, director address protection and eligible official mail forwarding are included within the stated feature set.

The Bolton BL1 1BR address also provides a clear separation between your private residential address and the public company address. This can be useful for founders who operate from home or who simply do not want their Malaysian residential address used as the company’s public registered office or director service address.

Finally, international document delivery, tracked shipping, an online dashboard and 24/7 support are designed around remote administration. That allows a Malaysian founder to manage UK company paperwork without treating physical presence in Britain as part of the ordinary formation process.

The stated Annual Renewal Fee is £399 for the ongoing package services described in the renewal terms.
