Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Martinique

If you are based in Martinique and want to establish a UK limited company, the Non-UK Residents package from Form My Company lets you complete the formation process remotely. No UK visa, travel or physical presence is required simply to form or run the company through this service.

The package combines incorporation documents, a Bolton registered office, director service address, mail handling and first-year administration. For a founder working from Martinique, this means the company can be managed without routinely travelling to the UK or maintaining a UK residential address.

A UK company must have an appropriate registered office address. GOV.UK states that this must be a physical UK address where company post can reach someone acting for the company. The package provides Bolton BL1 1BR for this purpose, while the director service address helps keep your residential address private.

What the Non-UK Residents package is for

The package is intended for founders in Martinique who want a UK company while continuing to live and work abroad. It can suit consultants, online businesses, entrepreneurs and other founders who want incorporation and key administrative services handled together.

The service focuses on UK company formation and administration. It does not replace independent advice on tax, regulation or legal matters that may apply to your circumstances in Martinique or elsewhere.

Companies House confirms that company registration involves information including the official address, directors, shareholders, people with significant control and constitutional documents.

What’s included in the package

Company 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 process can be completed remotely from Martinique. The stated timeframe remains subject to Companies House processing and the accuracy and completeness of the information supplied.

Free 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).

This allows eligible applicants to apply for a business account as part of the formation journey. Account approval remains a separate decision made by Wise.

Digital Certificate of Incorporation

The Digital Certificate of Incorporation provides electronic evidence of the company’s formation. Companies House describes this certificate as confirmation that the company legally exists and states its company number and date of formation.

Digital Share Certificates

Digital Share Certificates provide an electronic record of the shares issued by the company. They can be retained with the company’s other corporate records and accessed remotely from Martinique.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

The Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) provides an electronic copy of an important formation document. Keeping it digitally available makes the company’s records easier to manage from abroad.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

The Digital Articles of Association (AoA) provide the company’s governing rules. GOV.UK identifies the memorandum and articles among the documents prepared when forming a company.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

A Printed Certificate of Incorporation gives you a physical copy of the company’s incorporation evidence. It can be kept in a corporate file in Martinique alongside the digital version.

Printed Share Certificates

Printed Share Certificates provide a physical version of the company’s share ownership documentation. They can be retained as part of the company’s paper records where physical documentation is useful.

International document delivery

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).

For a founder in Martinique, physical company documents can therefore be sent internationally rather than requiring collection in the UK. Applicable scanning, mail handling and shipping charges remain subject to the stated terms.

Maintenance of statutory books

Maintenance of statutory books helps keep the company’s corporate records organised. This is useful when the director is managing a UK company remotely and needs a clear record of its statutory information.

Free Confirmation Statement preparation and 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).

A Confirmation Statement is a recurring Companies House filing used to confirm or update company information. After the included period, the File a Confirmation Statement service can be used for the applicable fee.

Free prestigious 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).

The Bolton address gives the company a UK registered office without requiring your Martinique home address to serve that purpose. GOV.UK confirms that a registered office must be an appropriate physical address in the UK.

Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private

Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private.

The director service address is separate from the company’s registered office and provides an address for official correspondence. For a Martinique-based director, it helps keep the residential address private in the relevant public-facing company records.

Free registered office mail forwarding for 1 year

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 useful when you are living in Martinique and cannot regularly check a UK address. Eligible official government correspondence can be scanned and digitally forwarded under the stated terms, with physical delivery subject to the applicable postage and shipping charges.

International tracked delivery

International tracked delivery provides tracking when physical company documents are sent from the UK to Martinique. This can help you monitor the progress of important paper documents during international transit.

No complicated administrative paperwork

No complicated administrative paperwork is included as a package feature. The process is designed to keep the formation workflow straightforward for a founder completing the application remotely, while accurate information and required identification still need to be supplied.

Priority 24/7 customer support

Priority 24/7 customer support is available for founders working outside UK business hours. For someone based in Martinique, this can make it easier to raise questions while working across a different time zone from the UK.

No hidden charges

No hidden charges is a stated package feature. The package terms identify charges that may apply separately, including specified scanning, mail handling, postage and international shipping costs.

Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7

Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7 gives you a central way to access and manage company documentation remotely. This is particularly practical when the company is administered from Martinique.

Annual Renewal Fee of £399

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).

This makes the renewal date important when planning the company’s ongoing administrative costs. Shipping and Royal Mail charges remain payable by the customer where the package terms specify them.

Non-Residents

£500

+ £100 Companies House Fee

Pricing and renewal terms

The package should be considered as both an initial formation service and an ongoing administrative arrangement. During the first year, the listed services cover incorporation support together with the registered office, director service address, statutory books, Confirmation Statement preparation and filing, and mail forwarding.

The stated Annual Renewal Fee is £399 for the listed ongoing coverage after the first 12 months. Separately, the registered office address is stated to renew at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from its renewal date. Review the applicable renewal terms before the renewal date.

Companies House publishes its own statutory fees separately. Its current guidance lists online company incorporation at £100.

Staying compliant after year one

Company formation is the beginning of ongoing administration. You need to keep company information accurate, maintain appropriate records and complete required filings when due. A Confirmation Statement is one recurring Companies House requirement, while accounting and tax responsibilities depend on the company’s circumstances.

For a non-UK resident founder, keep the registered office, director service address, shareholder and PSC information under review. GOV.UK’s formation guidance explains that companies must provide an official address and relevant company information when registering.

The package includes first-year support for the listed services, with renewal available for the applicable fee. Do not assume that first-year inclusions continue indefinitely; check the renewal terms and relevant service pages when planning year two.

Why choose Form My Company

For a founder in Martinique, the main practical benefit is remote manageability. The Non-UK Residents package brings company formation, core documents, a Bolton registered office, director service address, statutory book maintenance, mail forwarding and first-year Confirmation Statement support into one arrangement.

The service also accommodates international working hours through Priority 24/7 customer support and an online dashboard. This reduces the need to coordinate every administrative question around standard UK office hours.

The Bolton BL1 1BR address also provides a practical privacy option for an overseas director. Form My Company’s Virtual Offices service describes the use of a UK business address for correspondence and privacy for international business owners.

Remote incorporation does not remove ongoing responsibilities. Companies House provides official guidance covering registration, directors, shareholders, PSC information, company records and the registration process. If your circumstances create UK or Martinique tax, legal or regulatory questions, obtain advice from your own qualified adviser.

You can also consult the official GOV.UK company registration guidance and current Companies House fees before proceeding.
