Form My Company provides a remote UK company formation service for founders based in Guatemala who want to establish and manage a UK limited company without travelling to the UK. The entire process can be completed remotely from Guatemala, so no UK visa, travel, or physical presence is required to form or run the company through this service.
The package combines incorporation documents, a Bolton BL1 1BR registered office, a director service address, document delivery and first-year administrative support. It is designed to give an overseas founder a straightforward way to handle UK company administration from Guatemala while keeping the distinction between personal and company addresses clear.
Companies House guidance requires a limited company to have an appropriate physical registered office address in the UK. The Bolton BL1 1BR address included with this package provides that UK address arrangement.
What this service is and who it is for
This package is for a founder who lives in Guatemala but wants to form a UK company remotely. You can provide the required information online, receive your company documents digitally, and arrange international delivery of printed documents to Guatemala without needing to visit the UK.
The service is also useful where privacy matters. The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address mean your Guatemala residential address does not need to be used as the public registered office or public director correspondence address. Companies House explains that information on the public register can be accessed online, so choosing the appropriate company and service addresses is an important part of setting up remotely.
What is included
Company formation in less than 3 hours
Your company formation is submitted for processing with the aim of completing 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 actual incorporation time is therefore dependent on the application and Companies House processing.
Free Wise Business Account with a UK account number and sort code
The package includes a referral for a 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). The account application remains a separate decision for Wise.
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
You receive a Digital Certificate of Incorporation after the company has been incorporated. This document confirms the company’s formation details and can be stored electronically for use when managing company administration.
Digital Share Certificates
Digital Share Certificates provide electronic evidence of the shares issued in the company. Keeping these documents digitally makes them accessible from Guatemala without waiting for physical paperwork.
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)
The Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) forms part of the company’s incorporation documentation. It records the initial agreement to form the company and is supplied digitally as part of the package.
Digital Articles of Association (AoA)
The Digital Articles of Association (AoA) set out the rules for running the company. Companies House describes the articles as the written rules for operating a company, making them an important part of the incorporation documents.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
A Printed Certificate of Incorporation is included alongside the digital company documentation. This gives you a physical company record that can be retained with your corporate documents in Guatemala.
Printed Share Certificates
Printed Share Certificates provide physical copies of the company’s share ownership documentation. They can be kept with your statutory records and other important company papers.
International document delivery
Printed documents can be sent internationally to Guatemala. 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). This gives an overseas founder a defined route for receiving physical company documents.
Maintenance of statutory books
Maintenance of statutory books is included so the company’s required internal records can be maintained as part of the service. These records are separate from the public Companies House register and should remain accurate as the company’s ownership and management details change.
Free Confirmation Statement preparation and filing
The package includes first-year support for the company’s Confirmation Statement. 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 the information held by Companies House remains accurate.
Free prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1 1BR
The package provides a 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). This provides a UK address for the company’s official correspondence while allowing you to manage the company from Guatemala.
Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private
The package includes a director service address at Bolton BL1 1BR. Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private. A service address is the public correspondence address associated with a director, while the genuine residential address remains a separate Companies House requirement.
Free registered office mail forwarding for 1 year
The first year includes registered office mail forwarding. 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 arrangement helps a founder in Guatemala monitor eligible official correspondence without being physically present in Bolton.
For clarification on qualifying correspondence, see Form My Company’s Official Government Mail Guide.
International tracked delivery
International tracked delivery is available for documents sent to Guatemala. Tracking provides a way to follow the shipment while it is travelling internationally, which is particularly useful when physical company documents need to reach an overseas address.
No complicated administrative paperwork
The service is designed to reduce the administrative burden involved in preparing a remote UK incorporation application. You provide the required company and personal information through the online process, rather than needing to manage a UK incorporation application entirely on your own.
Priority 24/7 customer support
Priority 24/7 customer support is included for assistance with the service. For founders working from Guatemala, round-the-clock support can be useful when your working hours do not align with normal UK office hours.
No hidden charges
No hidden charges means the package terms are presented as part of the service rather than relying on undisclosed additions. You should still review any applicable charges for optional mail handling, document scanning, shipping and renewal before requesting those services.
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. This provides a central place for handling your company documentation remotely, which is practical when the director is based in Guatemala and needs access without depending on physical files in the UK.
Annual Renewal Fee of £399
The Annual Renewal Fee of £399 covers the first 12 months only, then renews: 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 these core services in place after the initial year, subject to the stated renewal terms.
Non-Residents
+ £100 Companies House Fee
Pricing and renewal terms
The package price and any Companies House statutory fee should be checked at the point of purchase because government fees can change. Companies House currently lists an online incorporation fee of £100, and its published fees should be treated as the authoritative source for statutory charges.
The first year is structured around the services included above. From the renewal date, the Annual Renewal Fee of £399 applies to the stated package coverage. The registered office element separately specifies renewal at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period, so the exact renewal arrangement should be checked against the package terms applicable to your purchase.
For ongoing company administration, Form My Company’s Company Secretarial Service provides additional support for statutory records and company changes where required.
Staying compliant after year one
Remote incorporation does not remove the need to keep company information and statutory records up to date. Companies House states that companies must keep information on the register current and file required company information during the company’s lifetime. The Confirmation Statement is one of the recurring filings used for this purpose.
The package’s first-year Confirmation Statement support helps with this particular administrative requirement, while the renewal arrangement continues the relevant service where renewed. Companies House also publishes current statutory fees, so founders should check official guidance when a filing involves a government charge.
Address management is equally important. If you change your registered office or director service address, the company records should be updated through the appropriate process. Maintaining an active registered office and monitoring official correspondence is especially important when you are operating from Guatemala.
You can also use Form My Company’s File a Confirmation Statement service when a separate confirmation statement filing is required.

Why choose Form My Company
Form My Company focuses on making UK company administration manageable for founders who are not physically based in Britain. For a founder in Guatemala, the main practical benefit is the ability to complete the formation process remotely while having a UK registered office and director service address in Bolton BL1 1BR.
The package also brings incorporation documents, statutory book maintenance, first-year Confirmation Statement support, mail forwarding, international delivery and ongoing customer support into one arrangement. That can reduce the need to coordinate separate providers for each basic administrative requirement.
The privacy element is straightforward: your Guatemala home address does not need to be used as the company’s registered office or as the public director service address when the included Bolton address services are used for those purposes. Companies House guidance confirms that registered office information is part of the public company record, so selecting the correct address at formation is an important practical decision.
Form My Company also provides a route for managing official correspondence remotely. The Official Government Mail Guide explains the types of correspondence covered by official-government-mail arrangements, while the document shipping information explains how physical items can be sent internationally. This is useful for a founder in Guatemala who needs to remain informed without maintaining a physical UK office.
A UK limited company can therefore be administered from Guatemala through a remote-first service arrangement, while the company’s UK address and document requirements are handled in Britain. The service is designed to make that administration more structured without suggesting that incorporation itself replaces any independent legal, accounting or tax advice you may need.
