Frequently asked questions
Can a non-resident own a UK company?
Yes — there is no residency requirement for directors or shareholders.
Do I need a UK address?
Yes, a registered office — we provide one.
How fast is it?
UK incorporation is typically among the quickest; we confirm timing at quote.
How long does formation take?
Timelines depend on the jurisdiction and on the completeness of your documents. We confirm a realistic timeline in your written quote and keep you informed at each step.
What does it cost?
We quote a fixed legal fee in writing before work begins. Government, registry and registered-agent charges are set by third parties and listed separately and clearly.
Who looks after the company after formation?
We can. Renewals, registered-agent services and annual filings can be added as a fixed annual engagement, so one team stays responsible for your structure.
