UK company formation FAQs

Can I form a UK company remotely without travelling?

Yes. UK Ltd filing at Companies House is electronic. Non-residents usually complete identity checks via an ACSP such as Eteform, then receive the company number and certificate once the file is complete.

How much does UK company formation cost with Eteform?

Service fees start from $299 for the digital package. The official Companies House fee is separate (about $135 at the rate in force when we file). See /en/uk-company-formation-cost.

How long does it take to form a UK company?

After complete details, identity checks and payment, filing usually completes within 24–48 working hours. Same-day filing is available when the file is ready before the UK cutoff.

Does UK company formation grant residency or a visa?

No. Incorporation is a company register process, not immigration. See /en/uk-ltd-for-arabs for non-resident limits.

Do I need a UK bank account before formation?

No. Banking comes after the certificate. Most non-residents start with Wise Business or another digital provider — details on /en/uk-banking.
