Non-UK Resident Company Formation for the Netherlands

Starting a UK company from the Netherlands can be completed remotely, allowing you to establish and manage the company without travelling to the UK. This package is designed for founders who want a structured UK incorporation process while remaining based in the Netherlands. The entire process is completed remotely from the Netherlands — no UK visa, travel, or physical presence is required to form or run the company.

You receive the core incorporation documents, UK address services, statutory administration, international document handling and ongoing first-year support in one package. The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address also provide a practical separation between your company’s public details and your residential address in the Netherlands. Official UK correspondence can be handled through the registered office, while the online dashboard gives you access to company documents from anywhere.

What is UK company formation for non-UK residents?

UK company formation for non-UK residents is the process of incorporating a UK limited company while the founder remains based outside the United Kingdom. Companies House requires a company to have an appropriate registered office address in the relevant UK jurisdiction, while directors must provide a service address for public correspondence.

Form My Company provides these address arrangements alongside the incorporation and administration services included in this package. A founder based in the Netherlands can therefore complete the formation process remotely and manage company documents and correspondence online. The package is suitable for entrepreneurs, consultants, online businesses and other founders who need a UK company structure without establishing a personal UK residence.

For official information about incorporation requirements and registration, founders can also review the GOV.UK guide to registering a private limited company and the current Companies House fees guidance.

Who is the Netherlands package designed for?

The package is intended for founders living in the Netherlands who want to establish a UK limited company without making a UK visit part of the incorporation process. You can submit the required information remotely and use the included Bolton BL1 1BR services for the company’s registered office and the director’s public service address.

It is particularly practical where you want to keep your Netherlands residential address separate from the company’s public-facing UK records. Priority 24/7 customer support is also useful when you are working on Netherlands time while dealing with a UK-based company administration service.

What is included in the Non-UK Residents 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 provides a fast digital route from submitting your company information to receiving confirmation that Companies House has processed the incorporation.

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 referral gives eligible applicants an additional banking option to consider after formation, subject to Wise’s own application process and decision.

Digital Certificate of Incorporation

Digital Certificate of Incorporation is provided as part of the company document pack. The certificate confirms that the company has been incorporated and provides important company identification details for your records and future administrative requirements.

Digital Share Certificates

Digital Share Certificates provide an electronic record of the company’s share ownership. They give shareholders a convenient document to retain alongside the company’s other incorporation records.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) records the original subscribers’ agreement to form the company. It forms part of the company’s constitutional documentation and is supplied digitally for your records.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

Digital Articles of Association (AoA) set out the rules governing the company’s internal administration. The document provides the framework for matters involving directors, shareholders and the operation of the company.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

Printed Certificate of Incorporation provides a physical version of the company’s incorporation certificate. This gives you a hard-copy corporate record in addition to the digital document supplied after incorporation.

Printed Share Certificates

Printed Share Certificates provide physical evidence of the company’s issued shareholdings. They can be retained with your corporate records alongside the digital versions.

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 based in the Netherlands, this means physical company documents can be arranged for delivery to the Netherlands when required.

Maintenance of statutory books

Maintenance of statutory books keeps the company’s required corporate records organised as the business begins operating. Proper statutory record-keeping provides a central record of the company’s members, directors and other relevant corporate 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 an important recurring Companies House obligation, and GOV.UK confirms that companies must keep their registered information up to date through the required filing process.

You can also use Form My Company’s File a Confirmation Statement service when the package renewal arrangement no longer covers the relevant filing.

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 registered office is the company’s official UK address and is publicly available on the Companies House register.

For a founder based in the Netherlands, using the Bolton BL1 1BR address means your Netherlands home address does not need to be used as the company’s registered office. Form My Company’s Registered Office Address service provides further information about the address arrangement.

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

Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private. A director’s service address is the public correspondence address associated with the director, while Companies House separately requires the director’s usual residential address where applicable.

Using the Bolton BL1 1BR service address therefore gives a Netherlands-based director a way to separate their residential address from their public company correspondence. More information is available through Form My Company’s Director Service Address service.

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 arrangement is particularly useful when you are managing the company from the Netherlands and cannot routinely check post delivered to Bolton. The What Is Official Government Mail guide explains which types of government and court correspondence fall within the official government mail category.

International tracked delivery

International tracked delivery provides a shipment method with tracking for physical documents being sent internationally. For Netherlands-based founders, this provides visibility when printed company documents need to travel from the UK to the Netherlands.

No complicated administrative paperwork

No complicated administrative paperwork is included as part of the package. The process is structured around providing the required company and director information digitally, reducing the need to manage multiple separate administrative arrangements.

Priority 24/7 customer support

Priority 24/7 customer support gives you access to assistance around the clock. This is particularly useful for founders in the Netherlands who may need support outside conventional UK business hours.

No hidden charges

No hidden charges means the package is presented with its stated services and applicable costs rather than relying on undisclosed administrative additions. Any separate charges expressly identified in the feature terms, such as applicable postage, scanning or shipping costs, remain payable where they apply.

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 digital location for company administration. This is useful when the director is based in the Netherlands because company records can be accessed without maintaining a physical UK office.

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).

The renewal keeps these core services available after the initial 12-month period. The separate Form My Company renewal information can be reviewed alongside the specific terms applicable to your package.

Non-Residents

£500

+ £100 Companies House Fee

How much does the package cost?

The Netherlands Non-UK Residents package is listed at £500, with the current Companies House incorporation fee shown separately as £100 on the package page. The package therefore combines the formation service with the specified first-year features, while the Companies House fee is a statutory government charge. Current Companies House guidance lists the online incorporation fee as £100.

The annual renewal terms supplied for this package are £399 for the continuing services described above. VAT applies where stated in the applicable service terms, and postal or shipping charges remain payable where the feature disclaimer specifies them.

What happens after you buy?

Submit your company details: Provide the proposed company information, director details, shareholder information and other required formation details through the online process.
Complete the required checks: Review the information submitted and complete any identity or verification requirements applicable to the incorporation.
Companies House processing: The application is submitted for Companies House processing, with company formation in less than 3 hours subject to the stated processing conditions.
Receive digital documents: Following successful incorporation, your digital Certificate of Incorporation, share certificates and constitutional documents become available as part of the document pack.
Manage your company remotely: Use the online dashboard to access documents and manage relevant company administration while continuing to operate from the Netherlands.
Receive physical documents: Where printed documents are required, international document delivery and international tracked delivery provide options for sending them to the Netherlands, with applicable shipping and mail-handling charges.

How can you stay compliant after the first year?

Staying compliant after the first year means maintaining the company’s required address and records and completing recurring statutory obligations on time. The registered office must remain an appropriate UK address, while the company’s information should be kept accurate and relevant filings completed when due.

The annual renewal arrangement covers statutory books maintenance, the first year’s Confirmation Statement preparation and filing, the Bolton BL1 1BR registered office, director service address protection and international mail forwarding. Where a service is no longer covered by the renewal, you should arrange the relevant replacement service or filing before its statutory deadline.

Why choose Form My Company?

Form My Company provides a package built around the practical requirements of managing a UK company from outside the UK. For a founder in the Netherlands, the combination of remote incorporation, Bolton BL1 1BR address services, digital documents, international delivery and online administration removes the need to manage every part of the setup separately.

The package also recognises the practical reality of operating across borders. You can manage company documentation remotely, use a UK-registered office and director service address, receive eligible official government correspondence digitally and access priority support across different working hours.

The focus is on administration rather than requiring you to establish a physical personal presence in the UK. Your Netherlands residence remains separate from the company’s public-facing address arrangements, while the company can be managed through the available digital services.
