United Kingdom

What this route covers

Private limited company formation for non-resident founders.

• UK identity verification and registered-office eligibility apply.
• Banking, payment accounts, visas, licences and government approvals are never guaranteed.

Who performs the work

Regulated work in this country is performed by a licensed local provider, not by bdoor. We name the responsible provider, and what they receive, before any engagement or payment. bdoor coordinates the case and your documents in one workspace.

Starting price

The figure shown is a starting estimate for the featured route, not a checkout total. Your itemised quote separates the bdoor fee, provider fee, government charges, third-party costs and taxes — and is issued only after specialist review.

Requirements and eligibility

• A private limited company needs at least one director and one shareholder, a registered office address and a SIC activity code.
• People with significant control (PSCs) are identified on the public register.
• Companies House identity verification applies to directors and PSCs; an authorised agent (ACSP) may verify identity.

Documents you should expect to provide

• Passport or accepted photo ID
• Recent address evidence
• Director, shareholder and PSC details with share capital
• Identity-verification data and personal codes as the regime requires

The appointed provider confirms the exact list for your case; nothing is uploaded until identity collection opens for your engagement.

Ongoing obligations after formation

• An annual confirmation statement and annual accounts
• A corporation-tax return, plus VAT and payroll duties where the company registers for them
