Addresses & mail
An operational layer for daily mail and a commercial address — when your need goes beyond “an address on the register” to receiving business correspondence and showing a London presence to clients.
A UK Private Limited Company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity registered at Companies House. Non-resident founders from the Gulf, Egypt, the Levant and North Africa can form one remotely when identity is verified through an authorised ACSP. Eteform.com Ltd handles the English name check, SIC activity, IN01 filing and ACSP checks — usually delivering the Certificate of Incorporation within 24–48 working hours. Packages start from £50; Companies House government fees are shown separately before payment.
After incorporation you receive a CRN and digital documents. Many founders then open Wise Business or Revolut Business, set a London registered office if needed, and prepare for Stripe, Shopify or Amazon using matching company details. Annual duties typically include the Confirmation Statement (CS01), accounts, and Corporation Tax registration with HMRC when trading starts. Dormant companies still have lighter filing duties — they are not a full exemption from Companies House.
UK Ltd formation does not grant UK residency or a visa, and bank or payment-gateway approval is never guaranteed. What we control is a correctly filed, transparent entity with Arabic support from order to certificate — so you can compare packages, read the formation guide, or start your order with clear GBP pricing.

When you receive mail from clients, suppliers or shipping companies; when you want a London address on the website, invoices and contracts; or when you need regular scanning of correspondence. A registered office alone is designed for official notices — not for running a commercial reception desk.
The address must not be used for prohibited or misleading activities, or as a commercial-volume parcel warehouse without prior agreement. Misuse may stop the service. If your activity relies on many returns or samples, tell us in advance so we can guide you to the right solution.
Some packages allow the same location to serve both purposes if legal and contractual conditions are met. In other cases Registered Office stays separate. We confirm the option in writing at activation so there is no conflict on the register.
A standard virtual office is for mail and address, not for receiving clients in a lobby. Meeting rooms, if available, are requested as a separate add-on.
We work within the business hours stated in the service terms. Urgent mail is flagged at sorting; do not rely on it as a substitute for email for critical operations.
Yes within permitted commercial use. Ensure the platform’s policies and our terms match your product type.
Not always. The registered office is a legal requirement; the virtual office is an operational layer. They may be combined in some packages if conditions are met.
From about £100/year depending on the package on /pricing and /en/pricing. Details and terms on request.
