Setting up a private limited company in the United Kingdom gives entrepreneurs based in Albania access to the British market, greater credibility with international clients, and world-class banking and commercial infrastructure. Establishing a presence in the UK no longer requires physical travel, local residency, or navigating bureaucratic delays. Form My Company offers a dedicated Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation & Registration package designed specifically to allow founders living in Albania to incorporate, operate, and maintain a UK entity remotely.
Through our digital system, foreign entrepreneurs can submit their incorporation details in minutes. We handle every aspect of company administration, statutory privacy, and annual filing compliance online, so you can focus on growing your business from Albania without complex paperwork.
What the Service Is and Who It Is For
The Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation & Registration package is an all-inclusive incorporation and corporate maintenance service. It caters to individual entrepreneurs, digital nomads, e-commerce vendors, freelancers, and established business owners residing in Albania who require a legal UK corporate structure.
Under the UK Companies Act 2006, there is no requirement for a company director or shareholder to be a British citizen or a UK resident. However, UK corporate law mandates that every business registered in England and Wales must maintain a physical registered office address within the jurisdiction to receive official statutory mail. Furthermore, corporate officers must supply an official service address to prevent their personal residential addresses from appearing on the public record at Companies House.
This package bridges the geographic gap for business owners based in Albania. It fulfils all statutory requirements by supplying a prestigious corporate address in England, managing mail forwarding, handling legal filings, and delivering physical corporate documentation directly to your home or office address in Albania.
What Is Included in the Non-UK Resident Package
Our non-resident package includes every essential component needed to establish, protect, and maintain your UK company. Below is a detailed overview of every feature included in this specialised corporate service.
Company Formation in Less Than 3 Hours
We process and submit your company formation application directly to Companies House electronically. Company formation is typically completed 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
To help you accept international payments and manage corporate funds smoothly, every package includes access to a free Wise Business Account referral featuring 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).
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
As soon as Companies House approves your business, a digital Certificate of Incorporation is generated and sent directly to your email inbox. This legal document proves that your private limited company exists under UK law and displays your official company registration number (CRN) alongside your date of incorporation.
Digital Share Certificates
You will receive digital Share Certificates detailing the ownership structure of your business. These official documents outline the quantity, class, and nominal value of shares issued to each shareholder upon incorporation, serving as proof of equity ownership for investors, partners, and financial institutions.
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)
Our platform automatically drafts your digital Memorandum of Association (MoA). This fundamental legal document records the agreement of the initial founders (the subscribers) to form the limited company and take at least one share each under UK corporate legislation.
Digital Articles of Association (AoA)
Your package includes standard, legally compliant digital Articles of Association (AoA). This document forms your company’s internal constitution, setting out operational rules, director duties, voting powers, and administrative guidelines governing board decisions and shareholder relations.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
In addition to digital copies, we produce a high-quality physical copy of your Certificate of Incorporation. This official document is ideal for framing, presenting to banking partners, or storing in your corporate records in Albania.
Printed Share Certificates
You will receive official printed Share Certificates signed and issued for your physical records. These hard-copy ownership certificates are vital when presenting corporate records to physical banking institutions or overseas authorities.
International Document Delivery
We ensure your physical corporate records reach you in Albania via our international document delivery infrastructure (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).
Maintenance of Statutory Books
All UK businesses are legally required to keep accurate and up-to-date corporate registers detailing directors, shareholders, persons with significant control (PSCs), and company secretaries. We manage the maintenance of your statutory books electronically, keeping your corporate record compliant with UK legislation at all times.
Free Confirmation Statement Preparation and Filing
Every UK entity must submit an annual declaration to Companies House to confirm that public records are accurate. This package includes 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).
Free Prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1
Every UK company requires a UK physical address for official correspondence. You receive a free prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1 (free for the first year; renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date). This gives your enterprise a solid presence in the UK while keeping your home address in Albania off public records.
Free Director Service Address
To safeguard your personal privacy, we provide a free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private. This address is displayed on the public Companies House register in place of your private home address in Albania.
Free Registered Office Mail Forwarding for 1 Year
We take care of your legal correspondence through 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).
International Tracked Delivery
To guarantee that your original physical incorporation documents, share certificates, and forwarded mail items arrive safely in Albania, all physical dispatches are processed through secure international tracked delivery services. You will receive tracking numbers to monitor your items from the UK to your doorstep.
No Complicated Administrative Paperwork
Forming an overseas business often involves confusing paperwork and legal hurdles. We eliminate this friction by providing a 100% digital onboarding process. You simply complete an easy online form, upload your identification documents, and let our system handle the rest without printing or signing physical forms.
Priority 24/7 Customer Support
Operating across different time zones between the UK and Albania is effortless with our priority 24/7 customer support. Our dedicated team of company formation specialists is available day and night to answer your questions, update your details, or assist with ongoing compliance needs.

Staying Compliant After Year One
Maintaining a UK limited company from Albania requires adherence to statutory filing schedules set out by UK regulatory authorities such as Companies House and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
Every active UK limited company must complete two key ongoing administrative obligations:
- Annual Confirmation Statement: Under section 853A of the Companies Act 2006, every company must submit a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months to verify that corporate information—such as director details, registered address, share structure, and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs)—is accurate. Form My Company manages this process automatically for our package clients.
- Annual Accounts Filing: Every UK business must file annual financial accounts with Companies House and complete annual corporate tax reporting with HMRC. Even if your company operates purely outside the UK or is held as a dormant holding entity, annual filings remain mandatory under British company law.
By utilising our compliance services and keeping your annual subscription active, you avoid costly statutory penalties, administrative strike-off notices, and statutory non-compliance warnings.
What Happens After Purchase
Setting up your UK company remotely from Albania is a straightforward process. Once you complete your purchase online, your business establishment follows these numbered steps:
