Non-UK Resident Company Formation for Spain

If you are based in Spain and want to establish a UK limited company without relocating, this Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation package provides a remote route from initial application through ongoing company administration. The entire process is completed remotely from Spain, so no UK visa, travel, or physical presence is required to form or run the company.

Form My Company provides the core incorporation documents, a UK registered office at Bolton BL1 1BR, a director service address, statutory book maintenance, mail handling and first-year Confirmation Statement support. You can manage company documents through an online dashboard while remaining in Spain, with international document delivery and tracked shipping available for physical paperwork.

A UK company must have an appropriate registered office address in the relevant UK jurisdiction. Companies House also makes the registered office address publicly available, which is why using a dedicated address can help separate your company’s public record from your personal address in Spain.

This package is designed for founders who want the administrative foundation of a UK company without needing to manage every formation task themselves. It does not provide Spanish tax or legal advice, so any Spanish reporting, tax or regulatory questions should be discussed with your own advisers.

What does the Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation package include?

The package combines incorporation, company documentation, address services and first-year administrative support. The following features form the fixed 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 application is handled remotely, allowing you to provide the required information from Spain without travelling to the UK. Companies House confirms that companies can also be registered using an agent or third-party software, while its current online registration service states that registration is usually completed within 24 hours.

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 process. The account application remains a separate decision made by Wise.

Digital Certificate of Incorporation

The Digital Certificate of Incorporation provides electronic evidence that your UK company has been incorporated. Companies House confirms that the certificate establishes the company’s legal existence and records its company number and incorporation date.

Digital Share Certificates

Digital Share Certificates provide an electronic record of the shares issued to the company’s shareholders. They give you a convenient corporate record that can be stored and accessed alongside your other formation documents.

Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)

The Digital Memorandum of Association records the agreement of the initial shareholders or guarantors to form the company. GOV.UK confirms that a memorandum is required when registering a company and that an online registration creates it automatically.

Digital Articles of Association (AoA)

The Digital Articles of Association provide the company’s constitutional rules for its internal administration. GOV.UK explains that companies can use standard model articles or, where appropriate, adopt bespoke articles.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

A Printed Certificate of Incorporation provides a physical copy of your incorporation certificate. This can be useful when you want a hard-copy corporate record alongside your digital documents.

Printed Share Certificates

Printed Share Certificates provide physical evidence of the company’s initial share ownership. They can be retained with your statutory records and company documentation in Spain.

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).

Your physical company documents can therefore be sent internationally to your address in Spain rather than requiring collection in the UK. Digital documents remain available for remote use, while physical delivery provides a separate hard-copy record.

Maintenance of statutory books

Maintenance of statutory books helps keep the company’s required corporate records organised after incorporation. This is particularly useful when the company is being administered remotely from Spain, and important records need to remain accessible.

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 confirms that the information held by Companies House remains accurate or identifies information that needs updating. Companies House requires companies to keep their information current through filings, including Confirmation Statements.

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 BL1 1BR address provides the company’s registered office without requiring you to use your home address in Spain. The registered office is publicly available on the Companies House register, making a dedicated UK address an important administrative consideration for founders operating from overseas.

Free Director Service Address

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

The director service address is the public correspondence address associated with the director. Using the Bolton BL1 1BR service address means your Spanish residential address does not need to be used as the public director correspondence address, although Companies House still requires the director’s genuine residential information where applicable.

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 allows official correspondence received at the Bolton registered office to be handled while you remain in Spain. The Official Government Mail Guide explains the types of government and court correspondence covered by the service.

International tracked delivery

International tracked delivery provides tracking for physical documents sent internationally. For a founder based in Spain, this gives you visibility over the delivery of physical company paperwork once it has been dispatched.

No complicated administrative paperwork

No complicated administrative paperwork is included as a core feature of the package. The objective is to provide a structured formation process so you can submit the necessary information remotely rather than managing every incorporation document and administrative task independently.

Priority 24/7 customer support

Priority 24/7 customer support provides access to assistance while you manage your UK company from Spain. The round-the-clock availability is particularly useful where your working hours do not always align with UK business hours.

No hidden charges

No hidden charges means the package is presented around the stated features and applicable terms rather than relying on undisclosed administration costs. Any separately chargeable items, such as applicable mail handling or shipping costs specified above, remain subject to the stated service 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 digital location for your company paperwork. This allows a Spain-based founder to access relevant documents without relying on physical files stored in the UK.

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 terms should be considered when budgeting for the company beyond its initial formation period. The registered office element separately states that the address renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date.

Non-Residents

£500

+ £100 Companies House Fee

How much does the package cost after the first year?

The package’s ongoing annual renewal fee is £399 under the stated package terms. This covers the listed ongoing administrative services, while Royal Mail charges remain payable by the customer where applicable.

The initial 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 the online incorporation fee at £100, following its July 2026 fee update.

For the latest statutory charges, founders can check the official Companies House fees guidance. The package renewal should then be considered separately when planning the company’s recurring administrative costs.

How do you stay compliant after the first year?

Keeping a UK company active involves more than incorporation. Companies House requires companies to submit information such as annual accounts and Confirmation Statements, while changes to company details may also need to be filed.

The first-year Confirmation Statement preparation and filing is included within the package. After the first year, the Confirmation Statement requirement continues, with the File a Confirmation Statement service available for the applicable renewal fee.

You should also keep company records accurate when directors, shareholders, people with significant control, addresses or other registered information change. Your own accountant or tax adviser should handle any accounting or tax obligations that fall outside the package and any Spanish obligations applicable to your circumstances.

What happens after you buy the package?

Application processing. Form My Company processes the formation information and submits the application for Companies House processing.

Why choose Form My Company for UK company formation from Spain?

Form My Company structures this package around the practical requirements of establishing and maintaining a UK company from outside the UK. Instead of separating incorporation, registered office arrangements, director privacy, statutory book maintenance, first-year Confirmation Statement support and mail handling across multiple providers, the package brings these stated services together.

For a founder based in Spain, the remote structure is particularly relevant because the company’s administrative base can remain in Bolton while you continue managing the business from Spain. The Bolton BL1 1BR registered office handles the company’s public address requirement, while the director service address provides a separate public correspondence address for the director.

The package also recognises that company administration does not end when Companies House issues the Certificate of Incorporation. Statutory records, Confirmation Statements, registered office arrangements and official correspondence continue to matter after incorporation, so the first-year services are structured around those ongoing administrative needs.

Before purchasing, it is sensible to review the official GOV.guide to registering a company alongside the package terms. GOV.UK confirms that incorporation involves matters including directors, shareholders, people with significant control, company documents, a registered office address and registration with Companies House.

For Spanish founders, the key benefit is administrative continuity: you can establish the company remotely, receive company documents internationally, use a UK registered office and director service address, and manage the company’s documents online without needing to maintain a physical presence in the UK.
