Forming a UK Limited (Ltd) company at Companies House requires no travel, no UK residency, and no minimum share capital. You choose an available company name, appoint at least one director and shareholder (they can be the same person), provide a UK registered office address, and describe your activity with official SIC codes. Once submitted, the Certificate of Incorporation and your company number are usually issued within 24–48 working hours, with the memorandum, articles of association, and share register delivered digitally.
As an ACSP agent authorised by Companies House, we verify founder identity to UK Companies Act standards and file directly through official channels, with full Arabic and English support before and after formation. Read the formation guide, start from the order form, or see what ACSP means.
UK Ltd formation service fees start from £226 across six packages, with the £100 Companies House government fee shown as a separate line. Higher tiers add a London registered office, director privacy, VAT/PAYE, or Apostille depending on the package — see live totals on pricing.
There are no hidden fees: every package lists exactly what it includes, and annual renewals (registered office from £50/year, CS01 confirmation statement) are disclosed upfront. Compare packages on the packages page, estimate your first-year total with the cost calculator, or read the full formation cost guide.
After incorporation your company must register for Corporation Tax with HMRC and obtain its UTR within three months of trading — we handle this from £75. If your taxable turnover crosses the registration threshold, or you need a VAT number for suppliers and payment gateways, we register VAT from £75, and set up PAYE payroll if you employ yourself or staff.
Every year the company files a confirmation statement (CS01) and annual accounts with Companies House — even dormant companies must file dormant accounts (from £60). We track your deadlines and remind you before they fall due, and our non-resident Corporation Tax guide answers the most common tax questions.
Every UK company needs a registered office in the UK where official mail from Companies House and HMRC is received. We provide a London registered office from £50/year with official mail scanned and forwarded digitally, plus a director service address from £35 so your home address never appears on the public register.
For a broader commercial presence, the virtual office from £100/year adds a trading address for mail, while the real commercial address (tenancy) provides a defined Central London suite with a Commercial Tenancy Agreement in your company name — the file banks and payment gateways typically need for KYC.
A UK company unlocks global payment gateways such as Stripe, PayPal, and Wise even when those services are unavailable in your home country. After formation we help you open a business bank account without travelling through digital providers like Wise and Revolut Business, and guide you through the documents banks request: certificate of incorporation, proof of address, and activity description.
For e-commerce founders and freelancers, see UK company for Stripe, Amazon & e-commerce, and freelancers & consultants — each page covers the real requirements and costs for that specific activity.
Our focus is remote UK Ltd formation through an authorised ACSP, with London address and compliance add-ons when needed. Start from the UK services hub, browse all packages, or compare packages.
We serve founders across the Gulf, Levant, North Africa, and the diaspora — with Arabic and English support over WhatsApp and email. Origin pages such as Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia explain forming a UK company from your country, not forming a local company there.
We serve Arab founders from nearly every Arab country: from the Gulf we receive orders from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman; from the Levant and Iraq from Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iraq; and from North Africa from Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, and Sudan — plus Yemen and the diaspora across Europe, the Americas, and Australia.
Each country page covers what applies specifically to its citizens: accepted documents, available payment methods, bank transfer notes, and the most requested activities. A valid passport or national ID is normally enough to complete identity verification, and no prior UK bank account or UK visit is required at any step.
Instead of one generic package, we maintain 40+ activity pages covering the real requirements and costs of each field: SaaS & apps, Shopify stores, YouTube & content creators, digital marketing agencies, gold & jewellery trading, study-abroad consulting, tourism & travel, mobile app publishing, and white-label cosmetics among many others.
Every activity page lists suitable SIC codes, whether the activity needs additional UK licences, and which banks and payment gateways accept it most readily — with one transparent package price. Browse activity packages or use the full package comparison.
Eteform.com Ltd is a UK company registered since 2015 and authorised as an ACSP agent by Companies House — meaning we are officially permitted to verify founder identity and file incorporations directly, unlike unauthorised intermediaries. Support is fully bilingual (Arabic and English) over WhatsApp and email, prices are published in GBP with no hidden fees, and our genuine reviews are public on Trustpilot.
We stay with you after formation too: deadline reminders for the confirmation statement and accounts, address renewals, plus accounting, tax compliance, and trademark registration services. Learn more on why Eteform and about us, or start now from the order form — we reply the same day during working hours.
Company documents often need certified translation or official legalisation for banks, embassies, and government bodies in your home country. We provide certified translation from £19 per page between Arabic and English, accepted by UK official bodies, and apostille and Arab embassy legalisation in London for certificates of incorporation, powers of attorney, and commercial documents.
