Form My Company provides a remote UK company formation service for founders based in Gabon who want to establish a UK limited company without travelling to the UK. The process is completed online, so you do not need a UK visa, a trip to Britain, or a physical presence in the UK simply to form or manage the company.
For a founder in Gabon, the practical issue is not only incorporation. You also need a reliable UK registered office, a director service address, access to company documents, a way to receive eligible official correspondence, and a straightforward process for keeping records up to date. This package brings those requirements together for the first year.
The package is designed for founders who want to manage their UK company from Gabon while keeping their residential address private on the public register. The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address provide a UK address for the relevant company and director records, while international document delivery and tracked shipping help you receive physical paperwork in Gabon when required.
What is UK company formation for a non-UK resident in Gabon?
A non-UK resident company formation service helps an overseas founder establish a UK company remotely and put the basic administrative arrangements in place from the beginning. Companies House is the official registrar, and its current standard online incorporation fee is £100. GOV.UK also explains that the standard incorporation service normally processes applications within 24 hours, although complex applications can take longer.
The package combines formation documents with first-year address, mail, records and filing support. You should obtain your own legal, accounting or tax advice where your personal circumstances require advice outside company formation.
The stated formation timeframe is 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.
This is a practical option if you are in Gabon and want to handle the formation process remotely.
Who is this package for?
The package is intended for founders based in Gabon who want a UK company without maintaining a UK home or office address themselves. It can suit an entrepreneur who expects to manage company administration online, needs a UK registered office, or wants company documentation delivered internationally.
The package also addresses privacy. The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address keep your Gabon residential address separate from these UK company address functions.

Non-Residents
+ £100 Companies House Fee
Pricing and renewal terms
The package page lists the Non-Residents service at £500 plus the £100 Companies House Fee. Companies House currently lists the online incorporation fee for a standard company at £100. The package’s first-year inclusions should be distinguished from any separately chargeable shipping, mail-handling or other services described in their applicable terms.
The annual renewal terms specified for this package are £399, covering the first-year service set listed above when renewed. The registered office itself renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from its renewal date under the fixed feature terms supplied for this package. Because these figures describe different renewal wording, check the applicable renewal notice and package terms before payment.
Staying compliant after year one
Remote incorporation does not remove the need to maintain a UK company’s records and filings. After the first year, keep the registered office active, maintain statutory books, monitor official correspondence and ensure the company’s confirmation statement is prepared and filed when due.
The package can reduce the administrative burden by keeping several of these functions together. However, the company and its officers remain responsible for meeting applicable legal and filing obligations. If your circumstances raise questions about tax, accounting, residency or other legal matters, seek advice from a suitably qualified adviser.

Why choose Form My Company?
Form My Company focuses on UK company formation and related compliance services, with an online process designed for founders who need to manage company administration remotely. Its Non-UK Residents company formation service brings formation and associated first-year services together.
For an overseas founder, the value of a package like this is primarily administrative: one service brings together formation, documents, address arrangements, mail forwarding and first-year compliance support. That can be more straightforward than arranging each requirement separately while living in Gabon.
The service also provides a clear digital route for managing company documents. Combined with international tracked delivery and 24/7 support, this gives a founder outside the UK a practical framework for handling UK company administration without needing to be physically present in Britain.
UK company formation from Gabon, managed remotely.
A founder in Gabon can complete this UK company formation process remotely, using the included Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address rather than relying on a Gabon residential address for those UK company address functions. Digital documents can be managed online, while printed documents can be delivered internationally when required.
The important distinction is between forming a company and meeting its continuing obligations. Incorporation creates the company; maintaining accurate records, monitoring official correspondence and completing required filings keeps the administration moving afterwards. Form My Company’s package is structured around both stages, with the first year bringing the formation and listed support services together.
For official information on current Companies House charges and incorporation procedures, consult the GOV.UK Companies House fees guidance and Companies House incorporation guidance. These government sources should be treated as the reference point for statutory fees and registrar procedures.
