If you are based in Gibraltar and want to establish a UK limited company, the process can be handled remotely. Form My Company’s Non-UK Residents package is designed for founders who want UK incorporation without travelling to Britain or maintaining a physical UK presence for the formation process. Your application, identity checks, company documents and ongoing administration can be managed from Gibraltar, while the package provides a Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address.
The service combines formation, statutory documents, address services, mail handling, confirmation statement support, document delivery and an online dashboard. Companies House confirms that a private limited company can be registered through its incorporation service and that a Certificate of Incorporation is issued once registration is completed.
What the service is and who it is for
This package is for entrepreneurs, consultants, online business owners and other founders in Gibraltar who need a UK company while continuing to live and work outside the UK. The entire formation process is completed remotely from Gibraltar, so you do not need a UK visa, travel to Britain or physical presence in the UK simply to form or manage the company.
A UK registered office is part of the package, giving the company a UK address for relevant statutory correspondence. The director service address provides a separate public correspondence address for the director, helping prevent a Gibraltar home address from being used as the public service address. You should still provide accurate residential information where Companies House requires it. Form My Company explains the distinction between registered offices and service addresses in its dedicated address guidance.
For background, see Form My Company’s guide to forming a UK company from abroad and the Non-UK Residents package page.
What’s included
Company formation in less than 3 hours
The package provides 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). This is a stated service timeframe rather than a guarantee of Companies House approval. Accurate information and complete documentation help avoid avoidable delays.
Free Wise Business Account with a UK account number and sort code
The 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). The banking application is therefore separate from incorporation and remains subject to Wise’s own checks and decision.
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
You receive a Digital Certificate of Incorporation after the company has been successfully registered. It confirms the company’s legal formation and provides key incorporation details for your records and for organisations that request evidence of incorporation.
Digital Share Certificates
Digital Share Certificates provide a record of the shares issued to the company’s shareholders. Keeping these documents with your company records gives you a clear digital record of ownership and share allocation.
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)
The Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) is included as part of the company’s constitutional documentation. It forms part of the incorporation record and should be retained with the company’s other statutory documents.
Digital Articles of Association (AoA)
The Digital Articles of Association (AoA) are also supplied digitally. The Articles set out rules for the company’s internal administration, including matters concerning directors, shareholders and company decision-making.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
A printed Certificate of Incorporation gives you a physical copy of the company’s incorporation evidence for your corporate records.
Printed Share Certificates
Printed Share Certificates provide a physical record of share ownership and can be stored with your statutory records in Gibraltar or elsewhere.
International document delivery
International document delivery is available for founders in Gibraltar (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). This allows physical documents to be sent internationally rather than requiring you to collect them in the UK.
Maintenance of statutory books
Maintenance of statutory books helps keep the company’s core corporate records organised after incorporation. These records form part of the company’s administrative framework and should be kept accurate when ownership, directors or other relevant company details change.
Free Confirmation Statement preparation and filing
The 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 — link this). A confirmation statement is used to confirm that information held on the Companies House register is accurate. Companies House also provides official guidance on company filing obligations.
Free prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1 1BR
You receive 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). This gives the company a UK registered office without requiring you to use a Gibraltar residential address for that purpose.
Free Director Service Address to keep your residential address private
The package includes a Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private. For a founder living in Gibraltar, this provides a UK correspondence address that can be used publicly for the director service address, rather than displaying a home address as the public service address.
Free registered office mail forwarding for 1 year
The package includes 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 useful when you are managing the company from Gibraltar and cannot routinely check a UK address.
International tracked delivery
International tracked delivery provides a way to send physical company documents internationally with tracking. For a Gibraltar-based founder, this adds a practical delivery option when original paperwork needs to reach you outside the UK.
No complicated administrative paperwork
The package is designed to reduce routine administrative work during formation. You still need to provide accurate information and complete required verification, but the service brings the main formation steps together.
Priority 24/7 customer support
Priority 24/7 customer support is included for customers who need assistance outside conventional UK working hours, which can be useful when managing a company remotely.
No hidden charges
The package includes a No hidden charges commitment, with the stated package features and renewal terms set out in advance. Charges can still apply where the feature terms expressly identify them, such as shipping charges, scanned-copy charges or the applicable renewal fee.
Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7
You receive Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7. It provides a central digital location for incorporation records and company documents.
Annual Renewal Fee of £399
The package includes an 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 renewal keeps the listed services running after the initial period, subject to the package terms.

+ £100 Companies House Fee
Pricing and renewal terms
Check the current Gibraltar checkout page before purchase because formation pricing and statutory filing charges can change. The supplied service terms state that the first year includes the listed features, while the Annual Renewal Fee of £399 applies to the specified services after the first 12 months.
The registered office wording separately states that the Bolton BL1 1BR address is free for the first year and renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date. Where different package terms apply to a particular renewal, the renewal information provided with the package should be followed. Form My Company also publishes its wider company renewal information. For official government incorporation fees, consult the current Companies House fees guidance.
Staying compliant after year one
Remote company ownership does not remove the need to keep company records and filings up to date. Directors should monitor confirmation statement dates, maintain statutory records, keep registered office arrangements active and respond promptly to official correspondence. Form My Company’s Company Secretarial Service can be considered where additional administrative support is needed.
Your registered office should remain able to receive official correspondence. Form My Company’s guide to Official Government Mail explains the types of statutory correspondence that can arrive at a registered office and why prompt handling matters. If your company details change, you should also make sure the relevant Companies House information is updated rather than waiting for the next annual confirmation statement.
Tax, accounting and other obligations depend on your company’s circumstances. This page does not provide Gibraltar-specific tax advice; obtain independent professional advice where needed.

Why choose Form My Company
For a Gibraltar-based founder, the main advantage is that formation and practical post-incorporation administration are combined. You can manage the company remotely without travelling to the UK, while the Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address provide UK-based public correspondence points.
The package also addresses the practical issue of receiving documents and correspondence outside Britain. Digital documents, an online dashboard, international delivery, tracked shipping and registered office mail forwarding reduce the need for physical presence in the UK.
Form My Company also provides related services for companies after incorporation, including confirmation statement filing, director address services and company secretarial support. The company’s FAQ page provides further general information, while official Companies House guidance should be used when you need authoritative information about statutory requirements.
For a Gibraltar-based founder, the result is a remote-first formation service built around incorporation, corporate records, UK address services and ongoing administration, without assuming that you will relocate to Britain or maintain a UK home address.
