International Package

Yes, you can form a UK limited company even if you live outside the UK and are not a UK national.

Company directors and shareholders can be of any nationality and may live anywhere in the world. Directors must be at least 16 years old to be appointed as an officer of a UK company.

If you do not have a UK address, our International Formation Package includes a Registered Office service.

This allows you to use our London address as your company’s official Registered Office. Any official government or statutory mail received on your behalf is scanned and emailed to you promptly, ensuring there are no delays.
