Choose a valid company name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before you can start a business in the UK as a non-UK resident, you must first decide on a name for your company. A good and well-thought business name can become a well-known brand in the future. However, the name must be unique and cannot be the same as that of other businesses registered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/companies-house\">Companies House<\/a>. So, if you have one in mind, you can enter a name <a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/formation-form.php?pkg=qw==\">here<\/a> to see if it is available to take.<\/p>\n<p>This system will compare any name you enter to Companies House&#8217;s Index of Company Names. The results are quick, so you will know immediately if the name is available or if you need to change it. Additionally, you will receive a warning if any &#8216;sensitive&#8217; words or phrases are used in the name.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/uk-ltd-company-formation.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-233 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/UK-Ltd-Company-Formation-for-UK-and-Non-UK-Residents-from-only-0.99-inc-VAT-one-off-fee.png\" alt=\"UK Ltd Company Formation\" width=\"980\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/UK-Ltd-Company-Formation-for-UK-and-Non-UK-Residents-from-only-0.99-inc-VAT-one-off-fee.png 980w, https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/UK-Ltd-Company-Formation-for-UK-and-Non-UK-Residents-from-only-0.99-inc-VAT-one-off-fee-300x46.png 300w, https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/UK-Ltd-Company-Formation-for-UK-and-Non-UK-Residents-from-only-0.99-inc-VAT-one-off-fee-768x118.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Choose_the_suitable_company_formation_package_in_the_UK\"><\/span>Step 2.

Decide about the company shares<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you add your shareholder(s) you will need to give information about their shares. This will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Type of shares<\/li>\n<li>Number of shares<\/li>\n<li>Value of shares<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These shares show the ownership of the non-resident UK company. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 shareholder with 1 share \u2013 they own 100% of the company<\/li>\n<li>2 shareholders with 1 share each, with the same value \u2013 they both own 50% of the company<\/li>\n<li>10 shareholders with 1 share each, with the same value \u2013 they all own 10% of the company<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How you divide your shares is your choice. We suggest keeping things simple at this stage and giving a low number of shares with a low nominal value. It\u2019s much easier to add new shares later than it is to take them away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/uk-virtual-office-business-address.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-230\" src=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Build-your-own-Unique-and-Personalised-UK-Virtual-Office-Address.png\" alt=\"Personalised UK Virtual Office Address\" width=\"980\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Build-your-own-Unique-and-Personalised-UK-Virtual-Office-Address.png 980w, https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Build-your-own-Unique-and-Personalised-UK-Virtual-Office-Address-300x46.png 300w, https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Build-your-own-Unique-and-Personalised-UK-Virtual-Office-Address-768x118.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_shares_should_I_give_when_setting_up_a_company\"><\/span>How many shares should I give when setting up a company?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You should know that shareholders are responsible for the value of shares that they have.

The company should also have a <a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/registered-office-address-service-london-uk\/\">UK-registered office address<\/a>). These are the only basic requirements for an overseas resident to <a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/uk-ltd-company-formation.php\">set up a UK company<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Do I need to travel to the UK to register my new UK company?<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Ans:<\/strong> No. BusinAssist makes it easy to start a business in the UK as a foreigner or non-resident. You can set up your UK limited company from any part of the world.T here is no need for you to be in the UK. You also don\u2019t need to be a UK citizen or resident to start your new UK business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Is a director of a UK company allowed to reside overseas?<br \/>\nAns:<\/strong> The director of a UK limited company can reside anywhere in the world. He doesn&#8217;t need to reside in the UK. The director can live anywhere they want outside the UK, as long as your UK non-resident company has a UK-registered office address. BusinAssist offers international packages, including a UK-registered office address.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can an offshore company own a UK company?<br \/>\nAns:<\/strong> An offshore company is a company that is not registered in the UK, so an offshore company can do business in the UK and set up subsidiaries in the UK, but it cannot have a UK company. If you have an offshore company, you can register a company as a non-UK national separately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Is it mandatory to have a business bank account to operate my business?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Ans: There is no legal obligation for a UK company to have a business bank account in the UK. You may prefer to use a bank account in your place to manage your business transactions. This could be a personal bank account, too. However, we recommend opening a business bank account in the UK to gain the confidence of customers and suppliers and to separate your company finances from your personal finances.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Now, that you know how to register a company in UK as a non-resident of UK, are you ready to launch your company? <a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/uk-ltd-company-formation.php\">Forming a UK Limited Company<\/a> is very easy with BusinAssist.<\/p>\n<p>We have simplified and streamlined everything for you, so you don\u2019t need to worry about anything.
