If you are based in Montserrat and want to establish a UK limited company, you can complete the formation process remotely without travelling to the United Kingdom. Form My Company’s Non-UK Residents package brings incorporation, company documents, UK address services, mail handling and first-year administrative support together in one service.
The entire process is completed remotely from Montserrat — no UK visa, travel, or physical presence is required to form or run the company. You can manage your company from abroad while using a Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address for the UK-facing administration covered by the package.
What is the Non-UK Resident UK company formation service?
This is a remote company formation and administration package for founders living outside the UK, including entrepreneurs based in Montserrat. It combines the core documents created during incorporation with practical services that help you manage the company from overseas.
A UK registered office is a key part of the arrangement. GOV.UK states that a registered office must be a physical UK address in the same jurisdiction as the company’s registration and must be appropriate for receiving company post. The Bolton BL1 1BR address included here gives you a UK address for that purpose, while the director service address helps keep your residential address private on the public register.
Who is the package for?
The package is suitable for a founder in Montserrat who wants to own or manage a UK company remotely and would rather have the incorporation paperwork and routine first-year administration organised through one provider. It can suit consultants, online businesses, international service providers and other founders whose activities do not require them to maintain a UK home or office.
What is 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). This gives you a defined target for the formation process without presenting the timing as a guarantee, because the final processing time depends on Companies House and the quality 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). The account application is separate from incorporation approval, so you should treat banking as a provider-led application rather than an automatic part of company registration.
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
The Digital Certificate of Incorporation provides electronic evidence that the company has been incorporated. It is useful for keeping your corporate records organised and for supplying a digital company document when a bank, platform or business partner requests evidence of incorporation.
Digital Share Certificates
Digital Share Certificates provide an electronic record of the shares issued to the company’s shareholders. They form part of the company’s ownership records and can be stored with your other corporate documents for convenient remote access.
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) provides the company’s formal incorporation document in digital form. It forms part of the company’s core constitutional records and can be retained alongside the other incorporation documents in your online records.
Digital Articles of Association (AoA)
Digital Articles of Association (AoA) provide the company’s governing rules in digital form. These documents are important to the company’s corporate records and help establish the framework under which the company is administered.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
The Printed Certificate of Incorporation gives you a physical copy of the company’s incorporation certificate. This can be retained with your permanent corporate records alongside the electronic version.
Printed Share Certificates
Printed Share Certificates provide physical copies of the company’s share ownership documents. For a founder managing a company from Montserrat, having printed records delivered internationally can provide a useful physical archive as well as the digital copies.
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). Printed documents can therefore be sent to Montserrat when required, with applicable handling and shipping charges considered separately.
Maintenance of statutory books
Maintenance of statutory books helps keep the company’s required corporate records organised. For an overseas founder, having this administrative element included reduces the need to work out which company records need to be maintained independently.
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 an important recurring Companies House filing used to confirm that key company information remains accurate. Companies House currently lists a £50 digital confirmation statement fee when filed directly.
You can also review the File a Confirmation Statement service for the separate service available when a confirmation statement needs to be prepared or filed outside the package terms.
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 address is used for the company’s official registered office requirement and provides a UK location for relevant statutory correspondence.
Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private
Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private. This allows the director to use the Bolton BL1 1BR address as the public service address rather than displaying a Montserrat home address as the director’s correspondence address on the public register. The underlying residential information still has to be provided where required.
For further context on the distinction between these two addresses, see Form My Company’s guide to registered office and director service addresses.
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). The service is particularly useful when you are managing the company from Montserrat and cannot routinely check a UK address yourself.
The What Is Official Government Mail guide explains which types of statutory correspondence are treated as official government mail.
International tracked delivery
International tracked delivery provides a way to send physical company documents internationally with tracking. For a founder in Montserrat, this adds visibility when printed corporate documents need to travel from the UK to your address.
No complicated administrative paperwork
No complicated administrative paperwork is part of the package approach. The aim is to keep the formation workflow organised so you can provide the required information without having to assemble each administrative service separately.
Priority 24/7 customer support
Priority 24/7 customer support is designed to help founders who may be working outside UK business hours. For someone based in Montserrat, access to support across different time zones can make remote company administration more practical.
No hidden charges
No hidden charges means the package is presented with its included services and stated renewal terms rather than relying on unspecified compulsory extras. Where a service has a separately stated cost, such as applicable document handling or shipping, that cost is identified in the feature terms.
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 place to access your company information and documents remotely. This is useful when your day-to-day business activity takes place outside the UK and you need corporate records without waiting for physical paperwork.
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).
Non-Residents
+ £100 Companies House Fee
Pricing and renewal terms
The package pricing should be considered alongside the exact inclusions above and any Companies House statutory fees applicable at the time of incorporation. Companies House currently lists online private company incorporation at £100. Its official fees can change, so the current Companies House fees guidance is the appropriate source for the registrar’s latest charges.
The first year includes the package services specified on this page. After the first 12 months, the annual renewal is £399 under these package terms. The registered office element separately states that it renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date, so the applicable renewal terms should be checked before renewal where individual services are being considered.
You can also review the Form My Company company renewal information when considering ongoing services after the initial period.
Staying compliant after year one
Remote incorporation does not remove the need for ongoing company administration. You should keep company information accurate, maintain the relevant statutory records and make required filings on time. A confirmation statement is an annual Companies House requirement, and the company’s registered office must remain valid.
The package is designed to make these recurring tasks easier to manage from Montserrat. If your company’s circumstances change — for example, its directors, ownership, activities or address arrangements — you should make sure the relevant company records and filings are updated.

Why choose Form My Company?
Form My Company’s value for a non-UK resident founder is primarily in bringing several administrative requirements into one remote package. Instead of arranging a registered office, director service address, document handling and first-year confirmation statement support independently, you receive these services together.
The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address are particularly relevant to founders who do not want their Montserrat residential address used for public-facing company correspondence. The mail-forwarding arrangement also means official correspondence can be handled while you remain abroad.
The package is also structured around digital access. With an online dashboard, digital incorporation documents and remote support, you can manage the administrative side of the company without making routine trips to the UK. That is a practical consideration for a founder whose business and home base remain in Montserrat.
For independent guidance, GOV.UK provides information on registering a private limited company and the current Companies House fees.
