UK company registration from Rwanda
Form your UK company without the hassle of travel.
No UK treaty on the HMRC list
HMRC’s Double Taxation Relief Manual states that there is no double taxation agreement between the United Kingdom and Rwanda. Do not copy a treaty paragraph from a neighbouring country onto this file. There is no treaty rate to quote.

The Rwanda Revenue Authority assesses Rwandan tax. A Companies House certificate does not submit a return to the RRA and does not pay tax in francs.
For a resident, the national identity card (indangamuntu) accompanies the passport. Address proof should show a Rwandan address: a recent Energy Utility Corporation Limited bill, a water bill, or a statement from a bank in Rwanda.
Kinyarwanda, French and English are official. Follow-up can be in those languages. The local pages are written separately, not as a renamed copy of this one.
What you get
We are an ACSP. We prepare form IN01 and file it at Companies House, with the identity check the register requires.

Packages start at £450. The Companies House fee is £100 and is charged separately. Identity verification is £30 for each person who must verify. Formation packages include a London registered office. The certificate and company number usually arrive within 24–48 UK working hours after the file is complete and paid.
From the Founder package we can help prepare a WorldFirst application after the certificate. WorldFirst decides the account. We do not open a bank account and we do not get Stripe to accept the company.
