They include everything you need to form a UK limited company, plus a London Registered Office Address for 12 months, a Wise UK business account referral, and tracked delivery of your company documents to wherever you are in the world.
We can register companies for customers who are residents of most countries.

Use our impressive address as your company's registered office
This is by far the most popular type of company registered in the UK and is commonly known as a limited company. It is set up for the purpose of making a profit, and has the added benefit of limited liability protection of personal assets.
Limited liability partnerships (LLPs) are increasing in popularity and are ideal for professionals and consultants who wish to retain the flexibility of a traditional partnership, but require the benefits of a limited liability company.
A limited by guarantee company is very much like a standard limited company; however, instead of shareholders, it has guarantors. This type of company is normally registered by non-profit organisations such as clubs and charities.
