What the Service Is and Who It Is For

The Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation & Registration package is an end-to-end service engineered for international entrepreneurs living outside the United Kingdom.

This package is designed for non-UK residents residing in Belgium who want to:

Launch an international agency, consultancy, software-as-a-service (SaaS) portal, or e-commerce store under a recognised British corporate identity.
Access UK payment gateways and global enterprise clients through a legitimate UK company setup.
Satisfy the strict legal requirements of the Companies Act 2006 regarding registered office addresses while keeping their residential details in Belgium off the public register.
Delegate ongoing compliance, mail processing, and annual secretarial duties to experienced experts.

What Is Included in the Non-UK Resident Package

Every feature in our dedicated international package is designed to provide complete regulatory compliance, robust operational tools, and absolute administrative privacy.

Company Formation in Less Than 3 Hours

We process and submit your company registration details directly to the UK registrar. Company formation is 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 manage global transactions, every package includes a referral for a 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).

Digital Certificate of Incorporation

Once Companies House approves your application, you will instantly receive your official digital Certificate of Incorporation via email. This document serves as legal proof that your company exists as a distinct legal entity under UK law and states your unique Company Registration Number (CRN).

Digital Share Certificates

Your package includes official digital Share Certificates issued to each founding shareholder. These legal instruments confirm the allocation, class, and ownership split of shares within your new UK company.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

You will receive the digital Memorandum of Association, the statutory document signed by all original subscribers confirming their intention to form the business and take at least one share each.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

We supply the digital Articles of Association, which establish your company’s internal governing rules, director duties, shareholder voting rights, and operational framework. You can learn more about securing your corporate governance documents through our guide on how to secure your company constitution.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

In addition to digital files, we provide a physical, high-quality printed Certificate of Incorporation. This tangible document is frequently required by international institutions, solicitors, and global partners when completing legal verification processes.

Printed Share Certificates

You will receive professionally printed Share Certificates for your hard-copy corporate records, establishing formal physical documentation of ownership holdings for your board members and investors.

International Document Delivery

We arrange physical dispatch of your corporate documentation directly to your home or office address in Belgium (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

UK company law requires every limited company to keep up-to-date statutory registers covering directors, officers, shareholders, and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs). We maintain these legal registers on your behalf to guarantee ongoing regulatory compliance.

Free Confirmation Statement Preparation and Filing

Every UK limited company must submit an annual confirmation statement to verify that its public record details remain accurate. We provide 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). You can read more about how this annual obligation operates in our detailed guide explaining what a UK confirmation statement is and why you need one.

Free Prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1 1BR

Every UK limited company must have a physical address located in the UK where statutory communications can be served. We provide a 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). Learn more about address compliance requirements on our dedicated Registered Office Address page.

Free Director Service Address

Under UK law, corporate officers must supply a service address for the public registry. We provide a Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private, ensuring your personal home address in Belgium is protected from public records and commercial marketing databases.

Free Registered Office Mail Forwarding for 1 Year

We process official incoming mail sent to your registered office address. We provide 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).

Staying Compliant After Year One

Maintaining a UK limited company while living in Belgium requires adhering to key statutory duties established by the Companies Act 2006. Form My Company manages these recurring duties through your annual package renewal, ensuring your company remains in good legal standing without interrupting your daily schedule.

Annual Confirmation Statement: You must confirm that your company’s public details—such as shareholder structures, director listings, registered office location, and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes—are accurate at least once every 12 months. Our team drafts and files your CS01 statement on time. Learn the full legal framework via our guide on how to file a confirmation statement error-free.
Maintaining an Appropriate Registered Office: Companies House mandates that every active business maintains a valid legal address in its country of incorporation. Your renewal ensures your company keeps its official presence at our Bolton BL1 1BR location.
Keeping Officer Service Addresses Updated: To prevent your private Belgian residence from appearing on the public record, your director service address must be maintained and renewed annually.
Updating Statutory Registers: Any changes to internal ownership, share splits, or corporate officers must be logged immediately in your statutory books.

FAQs about Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Belgium

Can I set up a UK limited company while living full-time in Belgium?

Yes, non-UK residents can legally form, own, and direct a UK limited company entirely remotely from Belgium without holding UK citizenship or residency. UK corporate law permits foreign nationals to register a company as long as the business maintains a valid registered office address within the UK jurisdiction.

Do I need to travel to the UK or hold a visa to register my business?

No physical presence, travel, or UK visa is required at any point during the incorporation process or during normal business operations. The entire setup is completed online, and your corporate records and mail are managed digitally through your user dashboard.

How does the Bolton BL1 1BR address protect my personal privacy in Belgium?

Using our Bolton BL1 1BR address for both your registered office and director service address prevents your personal residential location in Belgium from being published on the public Companies House register. Official mail is delivered to our Bolton facility, scanned, and forwarded to you electronically, keeping your home address private.

Can I open a bank account for my new UK business from Belgium?

Yes, international directors can apply for business banking facilities through online platforms and digital financial institutions. Your package includes a referral for a Free Wise Business Account offering a UK sort code and account number, subject to standard eligibility and approval criteria.

What are the ongoing costs to keep my UK company compliant after the first year?
