Living in Austria does not prevent you from setting up a UK limited company remotely. Non-Residents UK Company Formation is designed for non-UK residents who want to complete company formation from outside the UK and continue managing their business from Austria. The package includes a UK registered office and director service address in N1 (London).
Alongside incorporation, the service brings together essential company administration facilities. These include company formation documents, statutory record maintenance, registered office services, mail handling, international document delivery and online access to company information.
Can You Form a UK Company From Austria?
Yes. You can apply for UK company formation while living in Austria and complete the process without travelling to the UK specifically for incorporation.
The application can be handled remotely. You provide the necessary information about the proposed company and its officers and owners, submit the requested identification documents and complete any verification or compliance checks that apply to your application.
Every UK company must have an appropriate registered office address in the UK. The package provides an N1 (London) registered office for eligible official company correspondence.
A director service address is also included. This gives directors based in Austria a dedicated UK correspondence address for the relevant company requirements, keeping it separate from their Austrian residential address.
Who Is UK Company Formation From Austria Suitable For?
This service is aimed at entrepreneurs, business owners and founders living in Austria who want to establish a UK company while remaining based overseas.
It can be used by non-UK residents who want to create a UK business structure without moving to the UK. Once incorporation is completed, the company can continue to be administered remotely from Austria.
The service also combines several practical administration features, giving overseas founders access to company documents, statutory records, address services and correspondence handling through one service arrangement.
What Do You Need for UK Company Formation From Austria?
Starting a UK company requires information about the proposed business, its directors and its ownership.
The application may require details such as:
- Proposed company information
- Details of directors
- Shareholder information
- People with Significant Control information
- Registered office details
- Intended company activities
You will also need to provide any identification documents and complete the verification or compliance checks applicable to your application.
The precise requirements can differ depending on the company structure, the information supplied and the checks required for the application.
What Is Included in the Non-Residents UK Company Formation Package?
UK Company Formation in Less Than 3 Hours
The company formation service is designed to process applications in less than 3 hours, subject to Companies House processing times, weekends, bank holidays and the accuracy and completeness of the information provided.
An application can take longer if information needs to be corrected or additional information is required. Technical issues may also affect processing times.
This means founders in Austria can begin the incorporation process remotely rather than travelling to the UK for this purpose.
Free Wise Business Account Referral
The package includes a free referral for a Wise Business Account with a UK account number and sort code.
Wise handles its own account applications and independently determines whether an applicant meets its eligibility and compliance requirements. Non-Residents UK Company Formation only provides the referral and does not control or guarantee the outcome of a Wise application.
The business account application is separate from UK company formation and must be completed under Wise's own procedures.
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
Following successful incorporation, a digital Certificate of Incorporation is provided.
This document serves as confirmation that the company has been incorporated and contains important information relating to the company's formation.
Digital Share Certificates
Digital Share Certificates are supplied for the company's shareholders.
They provide documentary evidence of the shares issued to shareholders and form part of the company's corporate records.
Digital Memorandum of Association
The package includes a Digital Memorandum of Association as part of the incorporation documentation.
The memorandum is associated with the formation of the company and forms part of the documentation created during incorporation.
Digital Articles of Association
Digital Articles of Association are also supplied with the company documents.
The articles contain provisions relating to the management and operation of the company and form part of its constitutional documentation.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
A printed copy of the Certificate of Incorporation is included in addition to the digital version.
This provides a physical company record that can be retained alongside the company's other documentation.
Printed Share Certificates
Printed Share Certificates are provided for the company's shareholders.
These physical documents correspond to the share certificates issued as part of the company's corporate records and provide an additional hard-copy record.
International Document Delivery
International document delivery is available for founders who live outside the UK and require physical company documents overseas.
For customers based in Austria, this provides a way to receive relevant physical documentation without needing to maintain a regular presence in the UK.
Maintenance of Statutory Books
The service includes maintenance of the company's statutory books.
These records contain important corporate information and need to be maintained as relevant company details change. Keeping the statutory records organised supports the company's ongoing administrative requirements.
Free Confirmation Statement Preparation and Filing
The package includes free preparation and filing of the Confirmation Statement.
A Confirmation Statement is submitted to Companies House to confirm that the company's registered information remains current. The included service provides support with this filing during the applicable period.
Free UK Registered Office Address in N1 (London)
A free UK registered office address in N1 (London) is included with the service.
The registered office acts as the company's official UK address for Companies House and eligible official correspondence. This allows a founder living in Austria to maintain the required UK company address without using an Austrian residential address for that purpose.
Eligible correspondence received at the registered office can also be processed through the available mail forwarding service.
Free Director Service Address
A free Director Service Address is included for the relevant director correspondence requirements.
For a director living in Austria, using a dedicated service address provides a separate UK correspondence address and can help keep the director's residential address separate from the public company address arrangements.
Free Registered Office Mail Forwarding for 1 Year
Free registered office mail forwarding is provided for the first year.
Eligible official government correspondence received at the registered office can be scanned and forwarded digitally in accordance with the applicable service terms.
If a physical document needs to be delivered, the relevant international document delivery options can be used subject to the applicable arrangements.
International Tracked Delivery
International tracked delivery is included for documents that need to be physically sent outside the UK.
For founders in Austria, this offers a way to receive company documentation internationally while continuing to handle the company's administration remotely.
Simplified Administrative Process
The service is structured to make company formation and related administration more manageable for founders living outside the UK.
You provide the required company information, complete the necessary checks and proceed with the incorporation application. Once the company is formed, the package continues to provide access to relevant company documents, statutory records and UK address services.
Priority 24/7 Customer Support
Priority 24/7 customer support is available to founders managing their UK companies from Austria.
Continuous support can be useful for non-UK residents who need assistance with formation or company administration while operating from a different country and time zone.
Online User Dashboard
The package provides access to an online user dashboard for company documents and relevant information.
The dashboard gives you a central place to access your company records remotely, reducing the need to visit a physical UK office to obtain documents or review company information.
How Does UK Company Formation From Austria Work?
The UK company formation process can be completed through a series of remote steps.
1. Submit Your Proposed Company Details
Start by providing the information needed for your proposed UK company, including details concerning directors, shareholders and other relevant parties.
2. Complete the Application Checks
Provide the identification and supporting information requested and complete the verification or compliance procedures that apply to your application.
3. Proceed With Incorporation
After the required information has been provided and the necessary checks completed, the formation application is submitted for processing.
4. Receive Your Company Records
Once the company has been incorporated, the applicable digital and printed company documents are made available according to the package.
5. Activate Your UK Address Services
Your N1 (London) registered office and director service address can then be used for the relevant UK company correspondence requirements.
6. Continue Managing the Company From Austria
After incorporation, you can handle relevant company administration from Austria using the online dashboard, document services, and other included administrative facilities.
What Happens After Company Formation?
Incorporating a UK company creates ongoing administrative responsibilities that continue after the initial company formation process.
The company must continue to meet its applicable filing and record-keeping requirements, while directors remain responsible for ensuring that the company's records and required filings are maintained appropriately.
The service provides continuing administrative assistance through statutory book maintenance, Confirmation Statement preparation and filing, registered office services, director service address arrangements and mail forwarding.
Your residence in Austria may also be relevant to your tax and regulatory obligations. The position can depend on factors such as where you live, where the company is managed, the nature of the company's activities and the locations in which those activities take place.
Where you require advice concerning Austrian, UK or international tax and regulatory matters, it is advisable to consult a suitably qualified professional.
Managing a UK Company From Austria
You can continue managing your UK company while remaining based in Austria.
The service combines a UK registered office, director service address, online company records, mail forwarding and international document delivery to support founders who operate their companies from outside the UK.
Through the online dashboard, relevant company documents remain accessible remotely, meaning routine company administration does not require you to maintain a physical presence in the UK.
Why Use Non-Residents UK Company Formation?
For an Austrian-based founder, the service provides a way to complete UK company formation remotely and combine incorporation with several ongoing administrative facilities.
The package includes:
- UK company formation
- UK registered office address
- Director service address
- Digital and printed company documents
- Statutory book maintenance
- Confirmation Statement preparation and filing
- Registered office mail forwarding
- International document delivery
- Online company document access

By bringing these services together, non-UK residents can establish a UK company and continue handling relevant administration while living and operating in Austria.
Remote UK Company Formation From Austria
Founders living in Austria can complete the UK company formation process remotely without travelling to the UK solely for incorporation.
The N1 (London) registered office included with the package provides a UK address for eligible official correspondence, while the director service address provides a separate correspondence address for the relevant director requirements.
After incorporation, company records and documents can be accessed through the online dashboard. Eligible official correspondence received at the registered office can be processed through the mail forwarding service, while physical documents can be delivered internationally where required.
This arrangement allows you to continue managing relevant UK company administration from Austria while using the available UK address and document services.
