If you are based in Pakistan and want to establish a UK limited company without relocating, the Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation & Registration package provides a remote route to incorporation. The entire process is completed remotely from Pakistan — no UK visa, travel, or physical presence is required to form or run the company. The package combines company formation with a UK registered office, director service address, statutory administration, document delivery, mail handling and ongoing support.
GOV.UK confirms that directors do not have to live in the UK, although a company must have a UK registered office. Directors must also provide a service address that is publicly available. For a founder in Pakistan, this makes the choice of a suitable UK registered office and director service address important when setting up a company from abroad.
Form My Company provides these services from Bolton BL1 1BR. The package allows key company administration to be managed remotely, while the Bolton address can be used instead of a Pakistan home address for the company’s public registered office and the director’s public service address. You should obtain independent legal, accounting or tax advice for obligations arising from your particular circumstances.
What is the Non-UK Residents UK company formation service?
This service brings incorporation documents and first-year company administration into one package for founders living outside the UK. You can apply remotely, receive digital company records, arrange printed documents for delivery to Pakistan and manage your documents through an online dashboard.
The official GOV.UK guidance explains that a registered office must be a physical UK address and that directors do not have to live in the UK. You can also review the official company registration process and director requirements before starting your application.

Who is the package designed for?
The package is designed for entrepreneurs, consultants, freelancers, online businesses and other founders based in Pakistan who need a UK company while continuing to live abroad. Priority 24/7 customer support is relevant when working across the UK-Pakistan time difference.
Privacy is another practical consideration. The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office can receive company correspondence, while the director service address provides a separate public correspondence address for the director. This means your Pakistan residential address does not need to be used as the company’s public registered office or director service address.
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 Companies House once the required information and checks are complete.
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). Account approval is separate from incorporation and remains subject to Wise’s own eligibility process.
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
Digital Certificate of Incorporation provides an electronic record confirming the company’s incorporation. It contains key details such as the company number and formation date and can be retained with your corporate records.
Digital Share Certificates
Digital Share Certificates record the shares issued to shareholders. They provide a convenient electronic record of ownership that can be stored with the company’s other incorporation documents.
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) records the subscribers’ agreement to form the company. It is part of the constitutional documentation associated with incorporation.
Digital Articles of Association (AoA)
Digital Articles of Association (AoA) set out the rules for running the company. Keeping this document digitally accessible helps a founder based in Pakistan manage company records remotely.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
Printed Certificate of Incorporation provides a physical copy of the company’s incorporation record. It complements the digital certificate and can be retained with the company’s paper corporate records.
Printed Share Certificates
Printed Share Certificates provide physical copies of share ownership records. They complement the digital certificates and give the company a paper record for its corporate files.
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). Physical documents can therefore be arranged for delivery to Pakistan rather than requiring collection in the UK.
Maintenance of statutory books
Maintenance of statutory books supports the organisation of the company’s required corporate records after incorporation. Keeping these records current is an important part of ongoing company administration.
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). This covers the stated first-year preparation and filing, reducing the routine administrative work required from an overseas founder.
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). GOV.UK confirms that a company needs an appropriate physical registered office address in the UK.
Registered Office Address service
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 is the public correspondence address associated with the director, while the usual residential address remains a separate requirement. Using Bolton BL1 1BR helps keep your Pakistan home address separate from the public-facing service address.
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 provides a practical way for a Pakistan-based founder to monitor eligible official correspondence received at the Bolton address.
What Is Official Government Mail?
International tracked delivery
International tracked delivery provides a traceable delivery method for physical documents sent internationally. For a Pakistan-based founder, it provides delivery visibility when printed company documents are dispatched from the UK.
No complicated administrative paperwork
No complicated administrative paperwork is included as a package feature. The service brings the main formation documents and first-year administration together, although you must still provide accurate information and complete required verification steps.
Priority 24/7 customer support
Priority 24/7 customer support gives overseas founders access to assistance around the clock. This is useful for customers in Pakistan who may need help outside normal UK working hours.
No hidden charges
No hidden charges apply to the core package terms. The stated terms identify circumstances where separate postal, scanning or renewal charges can arise, so international document and mail-handling costs should be reviewed before ordering additional services.
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 place to access company records. A founder in Pakistan can manage routine documentation remotely without travelling to the UK.
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 annual renewal terms keep the stated administrative services available after the initial period. The registered office feature separately states its renewal rate of £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date, so the applicable package and address terms should be reviewed before renewal.

What are the pricing and renewal terms?
The first-year package covers the listed formation and services. After 12 months, ongoing services depend on the stated renewal terms, including the £399 annual package renewal and separate £399.99+VAT registered office renewal rate.
For comparison, GOV.UK currently states that online incorporation of a private limited company costs £100 when using its own online registration service. A government filing fee and a commercial formation package are separate matters, so founders should distinguish the statutory process from the services included by Form My Company.
GOV.UK company registration guidance
How do you stay compliant after year one?
A UK company needs continuing administration after incorporation. Its registered office must remain appropriate, company information should be kept accurate, statutory records should be maintained, and the confirmation statement must be dealt with when due. The package provides administrative support for these areas, but directors remain responsible for their company’s legal obligations.
For a founder in Pakistan, remote mail handling is also important. Official correspondence received at the Bolton address should be reviewed promptly, and any required filing or response should be actioned within the relevant deadline. Tax, accounting and other country-specific obligations should be considered with your own professional advisers rather than assumed from the company formation service.
What happens after you buy?
- Submit the required company, shareholder and director information through the online application.
- Complete the relevant identity and verification requirements and review the information prepared for incorporation.
- Once ready, the application is submitted to Companies House for processing under the package’s stated formation timeframe.
- After incorporation, you receive your digital Certificate of Incorporation, share certificates, memorandum, articles, and other included records.
- The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address arrangements are put in place, separating your Pakistan residential address from the public-facing company addresses.
- Arrange international delivery of printed documents to Pakistan where required, using tracked delivery where applicable.
- Use the online dashboard and priority 24/7 support to manage your company documents and ongoing administration remotely.
Why choose Form My Company?
Form My Company provides a remote-focused formation package for founders based outside the UK. For a founder in Pakistan, incorporation, statutory book maintenance, confirmation statement support, a Bolton BL1 1BR address, mail forwarding and international document delivery provide a practical first-year administration structure.
The package addresses the distance between Pakistan and the UK through online documents, international delivery, 24/7 support and dashboard access without routine travel.
The address arrangement supports privacy as well. GOV.UK states that directors do not have to live in the UK, while companies must have a UK registered office. Using the Bolton BL1 1BR address means your Pakistan home address does not need to serve as the company’s public registered office, while the director service address can provide a separate public correspondence address.
The service focuses on formation and administration rather than assumptions about your personal tax or regulatory position in Pakistan. Where those matters apply, take advice from appropriately qualified professionals.
