UK company formation — register a UK Ltd remotely
Form a UK Limited company at Companies House without travel. With Eteform.com Ltd — a registered ACSP — we review the name and SIC codes, complete identity checks, and file IN01. Arabic follow-up until your documents arrive after the register accepts the file.
Starter package fees from £450. Added at payment (not inside the package fee): £100 Companies House fee per order, and £30 for each person who must be verified. Examples on a £450 package: one person £580; two people £610; three people £640.
What happens when you form a UK company?
Companies House is the UK company register. When your file is complete, compliant and accepted, it issues a CRN and incorporation certificate. You register a legal entity that can contract and invoice under a UK name — not a branch and not a visa.
Eteform.com Ltd (company no. 09613257) is a registered ACSP. We prepare the formation file with you, run identity checks, and submit IN01 to Companies House.
We file after your details, payment and identity checks are complete. When the certificate is issued depends on Companies House processing, and it may take longer if more information is requested.
