If you are based in Guinea and want to establish a UK limited company without travelling to the UK, the Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation & Registration package is designed to make the process manageable from abroad. The entire formation process is completed remotely from Guinea, so no UK visa, travel, or physical presence is required to form or run the company.
Form My Company provides the formation administration together with a Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address. This gives your company a UK address for official correspondence while helping keep your residential address in Guinea away from the public Companies House register. Companies House confirms that a company needs a registered office and that company information is made publicly available on its register. GOV.UK guidance on registering a private limited company
The package is suited to founders in Guinea who want the practical administration of UK incorporation handled in one place. It is not a substitute for legal, tax or financial advice specific to your circumstances, so any questions about your obligations in Guinea or elsewhere should be discussed with your own adviser.
What the Non-UK Residents service provides
The service brings incorporation documents, address services, mail handling, statutory administration and ongoing support together. You can submit the required information remotely from Guinea, receive digital documents online and request international delivery when physical documents need to reach you.
Company formation in less than 3 hours
Form My Company aims to complete the formation process in less than 3 hours where the application is ready for submission. 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 process is remote, so you do not need to travel from Guinea to the UK simply to complete the incorporation process.
Free Wise Business Account with a UK account number and sort code
The package includes a referral route to 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 is separate from incorporation approval, and you should provide the information requested by Wise and consider the account against its own eligibility requirements.
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
A Digital Certificate of Incorporation confirms that your UK company has been incorporated and records important formation information. You receive it digitally, making it convenient to store and access from Guinea without waiting for international post.
Digital Share Certificates
Digital Share Certificates provide a record of the shares issued to the company’s shareholders at formation. Keeping these documents accessible in digital form can make routine administration easier when you are managing the company remotely.
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)
The Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) forms part of the company’s incorporation documentation. You receive a digital copy for your company records, allowing you to keep the constitutional paperwork together online.
Digital Articles of Association (AoA)
The Digital Articles of Association (AoA) set out rules for how the company is run. Your digital copy provides an accessible record of the company’s governing documents while you manage the business from Guinea.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
A Printed Certificate of Incorporation provides a physical version of the incorporation certificate. It can be useful when an organisation requests paper documentation rather than a digital file.
Printed Share Certificates
Printed Share Certificates provide physical copies of the share certificates supplied as part of the package. This gives you both a paper record and the convenience of retaining the digital version.
International document delivery
International document delivery allows physical company documents to be sent to Guinea when post or documents need to be received at your address. 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).
Because international delivery costs and options can depend on the shipment, check the Document Shipping page before requesting physical documents.
Maintenance of statutory books
Maintenance of statutory books helps keep the company’s required corporate records organised after incorporation. For a founder in Guinea, having these records maintained as part of the service reduces the need to manage UK company administration manually from overseas.
Free Confirmation Statement preparation and filing
A Confirmation Statement is an important recurring Companies House filing. 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).
Form My Company prepares and files the first year’s Confirmation Statement under the package. For future filings, see the File a Confirmation Statement service. Companies House’s current fee schedule lists a £50 digital Confirmation Statement fee. Current Companies House fees
Free prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1 1BR
A UK company needs a registered office address, and the address appears on the public register. 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).
For a founder based in Guinea, this provides a UK address without requiring a physical UK office, while keeping your Guinea home address separate from the company’s registered office. See the Registered Office Address service and Companies House registered office requirements guide.
Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private
The director service address provides a public-facing correspondence address for the director. Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private.
Using the Bolton BL1 1BR address separates public company correspondence from your residential address in Guinea. It does not remove any requirement to provide information privately to Companies House where applicable.
Free registered office mail forwarding for 1 year
Mail forwarding is particularly useful when you manage your company from Guinea and cannot routinely check a UK postbox. 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).
See the Official Government Mail Guide for the types of statutory correspondence covered.
International tracked delivery
International tracked delivery provides an option for sending physical documents internationally with tracking. For a founder in Guinea, tracking helps you follow important company paperwork after dispatch.
No complicated administrative paperwork
The package is designed to reduce the amount of formation administration you need to handle yourself. You still need to provide accurate information and complete required identity or verification steps.
Priority 24/7 customer support
Priority 24/7 customer support is useful when you are managing a UK company from a different time zone. If you need assistance while working from Guinea, the availability of support outside standard UK office hours can make remote administration more practical.
No hidden charges
No hidden charges means the package is presented with its stated inclusions rather than relying on unexpected add-ons for the listed features. You should still distinguish included services from charges that the package expressly says are payable separately, such as applicable shipping or mail-handling costs.
Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7
The online user dashboard gives you a central place to manage company documents at any time. This is particularly practical when the company is being operated from Guinea because you can access records remotely rather than depending on a physical UK office.
Annual Renewal Fee of £399
The Annual Renewal Fee of £399 covers the ongoing services specified for the first year. 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).
Review the renewal before its due date so address and mail-handling arrangements do not lapse unexpectedly.

Pricing and renewal terms
The package price applicable to your order should be checked on the purchase page at the time you buy. The ongoing renewal term specified for this package is £399, covering the services listed above for the first 12 months and renewing thereafter under the stated terms.
This is separate from statutory Companies House filing fees. Check the current government fee schedule when planning company administration.
Shipping, scanned mail and other charges remain payable where the feature wording says so.
Staying compliant after the first year
Being based in Guinea does not remove the need to maintain the UK company’s statutory records and filings. Keep your company information accurate, monitor official correspondence received at the Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and make sure required filings are completed on time.
The Confirmation Statement remains an annual obligation. If directors, shareholders, the registered office, PSC information or other registered details change, check whether a separate filing is required.
Keep the registered office and director service address active by renewing the package before the renewal date.
For wider administration, the Company Secretarial Service can support eligible changes and statutory records. If you are unsure which filing applies, take advice before submitting it.
