If you are based in Bermuda and are looking to establish a UK limited company, the entire company formation process can be handled remotely. Non-Residents UK Company Formation provides services for non-UK residents who want to set up a UK company without travelling to the UK, including a UK registered office and director service address in N1 (London).
The service combines UK company formation with the practical administration facilities required after incorporation. These include incorporation documents, statutory records, registered office arrangements, mail handling, international document delivery and online access to company information.
Can You Form a UK Company From Bermuda?
Yes. Residents of Bermuda can apply for UK company formation remotely and establish a UK limited company while continuing to live and operate in Bermuda.
There is no need to arrange a UK visit solely for the purpose of incorporating your company. You can submit the necessary company information and identification documents remotely and complete the relevant verification and compliance requirements as part of the application.
Every UK limited company needs an appropriate registered office address in the UK. The package provides an N1 (London) registered office for receiving eligible official correspondence on behalf of the company.
A director service address is also provided. This gives directors based in Bermuda a dedicated UK correspondence address and can keep their personal residential address separate from the relevant company address arrangements.
Who Can Use UK Company Formation From Bermuda?
The service is designed for entrepreneurs, business owners and founders living in Bermuda who want to establish a UK company without relocating to the UK.
It is suitable for non-UK residents who want to create a UK company structure while continuing to run their activities from Bermuda. The application can be completed remotely, and company administration can continue online following incorporation.
Rather than dealing with formation documents, statutory records, official correspondence and address requirements separately, the service brings these administrative elements together within one package.
What Information Do You Need for UK Company Formation From Bermuda?
Before a UK company can be incorporated, information about the proposed business, its directors and its ownership structure needs to be provided.
Depending on your company and application, the required information may cover:
- Proposed company details
- Director details
- Shareholder details
- People with Significant Control information
- Registered office details
- Nature of the company's 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 provided and the checks that apply to the application.
What Is Included in the Non-Residents UK Company Formation Package?
UK Company Formation in Less Than 3 Hours
The company formation application is processed in less than 3 hours, subject to Companies House processing times, weekends, bank holidays and the information supplied with the application.
Applications containing missing or inaccurate information may require additional time. Technical or processing issues can also affect the overall timeframe.
This allows founders in Bermuda to begin the UK company formation process remotely rather than arranging a trip to the UK for incorporation.
Free Wise Business Account Referral
The package includes a free referral for a Wise Business Account that can provide a UK account number and sort code where the applicant meets Wise's requirements.
Wise handles its own application review and decides whether an account can be opened. Non-Residents UK Company Formation acts as a referrer only and does not control or guarantee the outcome of the Wise application.
The business account application is separate from UK company formation and remains subject to Wise's own eligibility, verification and compliance procedures.
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
Following successful incorporation, a digital Certificate of Incorporation is provided.
This document serves as an official record of the company's formation and contains important details relating to the incorporated company.
Digital Share Certificates
Digital Share Certificates are provided for the company's shareholders.
They document the shares allocated to each shareholder and form part of the company's corporate records.
Digital Memorandum of Association
The Digital Memorandum of Association forms part of the company formation documentation supplied with the package.
It is a constitutional document associated with the incorporation of the company.
Digital Articles of Association
Digital Articles of Association are also provided following incorporation.
The articles contain provisions relating to the company's operation and management and form part of its constitutional documents.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
A printed copy of the Certificate of Incorporation is supplied for your company records.
This gives you a physical version of the incorporation document alongside the digital copy provided after the company is formed.
Printed Share Certificates
Printed Share Certificates are supplied for the company's shareholders.
These physical documents provide a record of the shares issued to the shareholders and complement the digital share certificates.
International Document Delivery
International document delivery is available for founders who need physical company documentation outside the UK.
Customers based in Bermuda can therefore arrange for relevant physical documents to be delivered internationally while continuing to manage their UK company from overseas.
Maintenance of Statutory Books
The package includes maintenance of the company's statutory books.
These records contain important corporate information and need to be kept appropriately as the company's circumstances and details change. Maintaining them provides an organised record of the company's ongoing administration.
Free Confirmation Statement Preparation and Filing
Free Confirmation Statement preparation and filing is included as part of the service.
A Confirmation Statement is a Companies House filing through which a company confirms that its registered information remains current. The included service provides preparation and filing support during the applicable period.
Free UK Registered Office Address in N1 (London)
A free UK registered office address in N1 (London) is included for the first year.
The registered office acts as the company's official UK address for Companies House and eligible official correspondence. For someone living in Bermuda, this provides a UK company address without requiring the use of a Bermuda residential address as the registered office.
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 within the package.
This provides a dedicated UK correspondence address for the director and helps separate the director's personal residential address from the relevant company correspondence arrangements.
For directors living in Bermuda, this can provide an alternative to using their residential address for the applicable director address requirements.
Free Registered Office Mail Forwarding for 1 Year
Free registered office mail forwarding for 1 year is included.
Eligible official government correspondence received at the N1 (London) registered office can be scanned and forwarded digitally in accordance with the applicable service terms.
If physical documentation needs to be received, international delivery arrangements can be used where available and applicable.
International Tracked Delivery
International tracked delivery is included for documents that need to be physically sent outside the UK.
For customers in Bermuda, this provides a way to receive relevant company documents while continuing to handle company administration from overseas.
Simplified Administrative Process
The service is structured to make UK company formation easier for founders who are based outside the UK.
After providing the required company information and completing the relevant checks, the incorporation application can be submitted remotely. The same service also brings together several administrative facilities that can be used after the company has been incorporated.
Priority 24/7 Customer Support
Priority 24/7 customer support is included for customers managing their UK company from Bermuda.
Continuous support provides an additional way to raise company formation and administration queries, which can be particularly useful when managing UK-related requirements from a different time zone.
Online User Dashboard
An online user dashboard is provided for accessing company documents and relevant company information.
The dashboard gives you a central digital location for your company records, allowing you to access relevant information remotely rather than needing to visit a UK office.
How Does UK Company Formation From Bermuda Work?
The UK company formation process is structured so that non-UK residents can complete the main stages remotely.
1. Submit Your Company Information
Start by providing the details required for your proposed UK company, including information about directors, shareholders and other relevant company details.
2. Complete Verification Requirements
Provide the identification documents and other information requested during the application. Complete any identity verification or compliance procedures that apply.
3. Proceed With the Incorporation Application
Once the required information and checks have been completed, the incorporation application can be prepared and submitted for processing.
4. Receive Your Company Documentation
After the company has been incorporated, the digital and printed documents included within the package are provided.
5. Activate Your UK Address Services
The N1 (London) registered office and director service address can then be used for the relevant company correspondence and address requirements.
6. Continue Managing Your Company From Bermuda
Following incorporation, you can handle relevant company administration remotely using the online dashboard and the available document, address and support services.
What Happens After Company Formation?
Incorporating your company is the start of its ongoing administrative responsibilities. A UK limited company continues to have filing, record-keeping and other obligations after it has been established.
Company directors remain responsible for ensuring that required company records and filings are dealt with appropriately and within the relevant requirements.
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 own circumstances may also create tax or regulatory obligations. These can be affected by factors such as your place of residence, where the company is managed, the nature of its business and where its activities take place.
Where you require advice concerning UK, Bermuda or international tax and regulatory matters, you should consult a suitably qualified professional.
Managing a UK Company From Bermuda
You can continue to manage your UK company while remaining based in Bermuda.
The combination of an N1 (London) registered office, director service address, online document access, mail forwarding and international document delivery provides facilities for handling important company administration remotely.
The online dashboard also means that relevant company documents can be accessed digitally without requiring you to maintain a physical presence in the UK.
Why Use Non-Residents UK Company Formation?

Remote UK Company Formation From Bermuda
