Starting a UK limited company from Mauritius can be handled remotely, giving founders a practical way to establish a UK corporate structure without travelling to Britain. The Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation & Registration package from Form My Company is designed for founders who live outside the UK and want the incorporation process, company documents, address services and first-year administration organised in one package.
The entire process is completed remotely from Mauritius — no UK visa, travel, or physical presence is required to form or run the company. You can provide the required information online, receive company documents digitally, and manage ongoing administration through an online user dashboard. If you need physical documents in Mauritius, international delivery and tracked shipping are also available under the package terms.
GOV.UK confirms that a UK company must have an appropriate physical registered office address in the relevant UK jurisdiction, and that this address is publicly available on the Companies House register. A professional Bolton BL1 1BR registered office therefore gives an overseas founder a UK address for official company correspondence without using a Mauritius home address as the company’s public registered office.
What the Non-UK Resident Company Formation Service Is
The service is a remote company formation package for founders based in Mauritius who want to incorporate a UK private limited company while continuing to live and work abroad. It combines incorporation documents with practical administration for the first year, including a registered office, director service address, statutory books maintenance, confirmation statement support and mail forwarding.
It is important to distinguish company formation from personal tax or regulatory advice: your own advisers should assess any obligations that may arise from your particular activities, income, management arrangements or circumstances. GOV.UK provides general guidance on setting up a private limited company and the information required for registration.
Companies House currently lists the digital incorporation fee at £100, with other filing fees applying to different transactions. You can review the current Companies House fees guidance before submitting an application.
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).
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 account is offered as part of the package, but the banking provider makes its own eligibility and approval decision.
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
The Digital Certificate of Incorporation provides electronic evidence that the company has been incorporated. It can be stored with the rest of your company records and accessed remotely after formation.
Digital Share Certificates
Digital Share Certificates provide an electronic record of the shares issued by the company. Keeping these documents with your other corporate records makes it easier to manage ownership documentation from Mauritius.
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) is included as part of the incorporation documentation. The memorandum records the subscribers’ agreement to form the company and forms part of the company’s constitutional records.
Digital Articles of Association (AoA)
Digital Articles of Association (AoA) are included to document the rules governing the company’s internal administration. Together with the memorandum and other company records, they form part of the documentation you can manage remotely.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
A printed Certificate of Incorporation is included for founders who want a physical company document in addition to the digital version. This can be useful for maintaining a paper corporate file in Mauritius.
Printed Share Certificates
Printed Share Certificates provide physical copies of the company’s share documentation. They complement the digital records and can be retained with other corporate paperwork.
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 in Mauritius, this means the package can support delivery of relevant physical documents internationally rather than requiring collection in the UK. Shipping costs and mail-handling charges should be checked before requesting physical delivery.
Maintenance of statutory books
Maintenance of statutory books is included for the period covered by the package. Statutory books form an important part of a company’s internal records, documenting information such as ownership and officers. Form My Company’s guidance on statutory books provides further context.
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 helps keep the company’s Companies House information current. The File a Confirmation Statement service can be used for the relevant filing when required.
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 is intended to provide the UK registered office required for the company while keeping a Mauritius residential address out of the public registered-office field. Form My Company’s Registered Office Address service explains the role of the registered office and official correspondence.
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 director service address is different from the director’s usual residential address. A separate service address can be used as the public correspondence address, helping a founder in Mauritius avoid using their home address as the public-facing service address while still providing the information Companies House requires privately. Director Service Address service
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 the company is managed from Mauritius. Official correspondence can be received at the Bolton registered office and digitally forwarded so that you can review it without being physically present in the UK. The Official Government Mail Guide explains the types of correspondence covered by that definition.
International tracked delivery
International tracked delivery is included for relevant physical deliveries under the package. Tracking provides visibility over documents travelling from the UK to Mauritius and can be useful when physical company records need to reach an overseas address.
No complicated administrative paperwork
No complicated administrative paperwork is included as a feature of the service. The aim is to provide a structured online process rather than leaving an overseas founder to organise each administrative element separately.
You still need to supply accurate information and complete any required verification. Simplifying administration does not remove the underlying responsibilities associated with owning and directing a UK company.
Priority 24/7 customer support
Priority 24/7 customer support is included. For a founder working from Mauritius, support availability can be useful when your working hours do not align with standard UK business hours.
The service provides a point of contact for package-related questions while you manage the company remotely.
No hidden charges
No hidden charges is a stated package feature. Charges that are expressly identified in the package terms, such as applicable shipping, scanning, postage or renewal costs, remain payable where relevant.
This distinction is important for international founders because physical document delivery can involve charges separate from the core package.
Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7
Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7 is included. The dashboard gives you a central place to manage company documentation while based in Mauritius.
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).
Non-Residents
+ £100 Companies House Fee
Pricing and Renewal Terms
The package price and applicable Companies House charges should be checked at the point of purchase because statutory fees can change. Companies House’s current published fees show a £100 digital incorporation fee and a £50 digital confirmation statement fee from 1 February 2026.
The package’s stated Annual Renewal Fee is £399 for the services listed above. The registered office itself renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date under the specific registered office feature terms, while the package renewal wording separately specifies £399 and its included services. Review the applicable checkout and renewal terms for the service you purchase.
Staying Compliant After Year One
The registered office must remain an appropriate UK address, and directors should continue to monitor official correspondence and respond to notices within the relevant deadlines. The registered office is not necessarily the place where the company trades, but it must meet the applicable Companies House requirements.
The first-year Confirmation Statement preparation and filing is included under the package terms. After the first year, renewal keeps the specified administration services in place for the applicable renewal period. If you do not renew, you should arrange replacement services yourself where necessary so that the company continues to meet its obligations.
Your statutory books should also remain accurate when company details change. If directors, shareholders, ownership or other relevant company information changes, review whether the corresponding company records and Companies House filings need updating.
For founders in Mauritius, the practical point is continuity: keep access to your dashboard, monitor official mail forwarded from Bolton, maintain accurate company records and plan renewal before the first year ends.

Why Choose Form My Company
Form My Company provides a single package for founders who need to establish and manage a UK company while living outside Britain. For a Mauritius-based founder, the practical advantage is remote administration: the formation process, company documents, UK address services, mail handling and support can be managed without making a trip to the UK simply to establish the company.
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 Mauritius. The included mail forwarding and international tracked delivery also recognise the practical reality of receiving company documents while operating from overseas.
The package is designed around defined services rather than assumptions about your personal tax or legal position. If you need advice on matters specific to your circumstances in Mauritius, obtain advice from appropriately qualified advisers. For the UK company administration itself, Form My Company provides the listed incorporation and first-year support services in one package.
