All prices are one-time fees in GBP and cover the third-party costs for the services listed in each package there is nothing further to pay to complete your setup. Registered office, business address and mail services are included for the first 12 months; renewals are arranged directly with the provider at their standard rates. Identity verification is carried out by our regulated partners, who will ask for a valid passport and a proof of address issued within the last three months before your application proceeds. See our Refund Policy for what happens if an application isn’t approved.
How It Works
Your name, your proposed company name, and where you’re based. No documents at this stage, we’ll send you a checklist built for your country.
We check your company name is available, match you to partners that accept applicants from your country, and prepare every application in the right order so nothing gets rejected or held up.
Our regulated formation partner sends you a secure link and verifies your identity directly your documents go to them, not to us. Usually 1–3 working days from upload.
Companies House registration typically completes within 24 hours of submission. Your registered office is active immediately, and we guide you through your business account application.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Our entire process is designed for non-residents. You can form and manage your UK company entirely remotely, from anywhere in the world.
Companies House usually completes registration within 24 hours of your application being submitted. Before that, identity verification with our formation partner typically takes 1–3 working days from the moment you upload your documents. Most clients are fully set up within a week.
A valid passport, and a proof of address issued within the last three months — usually a bank statement or utility bill. If you’re outside the UK, our partner may ask for these to be certified by a notary, solicitor or chartered accountant. We’ll tell you exactly what’s needed for your country before you pay anything, and you upload them directly to our regulated partner through their own secure link.
StartinUK is a business consultancy. We plan and manage your setup, and place your applications with UK partners who are registered with an anti-money-laundering supervisor and, where required, authorised by Companies House. You contract with those providers directly, and every account is opened in your own company’s name. What you pay us for is the route, the preparation and the management.
We’ll guide you through it: which providers accept non-resident directors, what they’ll ask for, and how to present your application. You complete the application yourself — banks require this — and we’re with you throughout the process. We can’t guarantee approval; that decision belongs to the bank.
It’s rare, and we check the two most common causes before you pay anything: whether our partners accept applicants from your country, and whether your company name is available. If a rejection still happens, our Refund Policy sets out exactly what is returned.
Your registered office, business address and mail services are included for the first 12 months. After that you renew directly with the provider at their standard rates — there’s no lock-in with us. We’ll remind you before your first year ends so nothing lapses.
No. We don’t offer nominee director, nominee shareholder or trustee services, and we don’t arrange them through third parties. Every company we help set up is registered in the founder’s own name.
Our higher-tier packages include filing deadline reminders and support with your annual obligations — your confirmation statement, your accounts, and any correspondence you’re not sure how to handle. Where something needs a qualified accountant or tax adviser, we’ll tell you and connect you with one.
You can reach us by email and WhatsApp on every package, and we aim to reply within one working day. Our Premium International package includes 24/7 WhatsApp support.
