Why us

Built for founders who aren't in the UK

Generic formation agents stop at the certificate. The hard part, actually getting approved for a merchant account, is where we start.

All-in-one setup

Company and payment accounts handled in one place, by one team, in the right order. No juggling a formation agent, a banking consultant and a Stripe 'expert' who never speak to each other.

Built for non-residents

We work almost exclusively with founders outside the UK. We know which documents get questioned, which business descriptions get flagged, and what to fix before an application is submitted rather than after it is rejected.

Ongoing support

Filing reminders before every deadline, help answering platform document requests, and annual confirmation statement filing when you want it off your plate.

Pricing

Straightforward pricing, no surprise fees

The company is the base. Payment platforms are add-ons. Buy them together for a discount, or add them later at the same price.

Before you pay us anything

Four things you can check for yourself

We are asking you to send money and personal documents to a company you have not heard of. So here is what you can verify without taking our word for any of it.

Look us up on the public record

Your company appears on the Companies House register, usually within 24 hours of filing. Search the name there and you will see it: the number, the incorporation date, you as director. Nothing about it depends on taking our word.

You get the person doing the work

This is run by Mansoor Hussain, not a call centre. The same person answers your WhatsApp, prepares your filing and deals with Stripe when they ask a question. Message before you pay and see how fast you get a real answer.

The government fee is not marked up

The £100 Companies House fee is shown as its own line and passed straight through at cost. You can check the rate yourself on gov.uk. We make our money on the service, and we tell you which part is which.

If the filing is rejected, you get the fee back

If Companies House rejects your incorporation and we cannot get it approved with a corrected filing, our service fee is refunded in full. Payment platform approval is each platform's own decision and nobody can promise it, which is why we do not.

FAQ

Questions we get asked before people buy

What is a UK LTD, and why do I need one to open PayPal, Stripe or Wise?
A UK limited company (LTD) is a separate legal entity registered with Companies House. It has its own company number, registered address and legal identity, distinct from you as a person. PayPal, Stripe and Wise all decide who they can onboard based on the country the business is registered in, not the country the owner lives in. The United Kingdom is a supported country for all three, so a UK LTD gives your business a legal home that those platforms already accept. If your own country is unsupported or heavily restricted, that single fact is usually the thing standing between you and a working merchant account.
Can I form a UK company if I don't live in the UK?
Yes. UK company law does not require directors or shareholders to be UK residents or UK citizens. You can own and run a UK LTD entirely from abroad. What the company does need is a UK registered office address. That is the official address on the public record where Companies House and HMRC send correspondence. That address is included in every one of our packages, so being outside the UK is not a barrier to incorporation.
Do I need a UK bank account to use PayPal, Wise or Stripe business accounts?
Not a traditional high-street bank account, no. Wise Business gives you real UK account details, a sort code and account number in your company's name, and those details are accepted by both Stripe and PayPal as a payout destination. That is why most of our clients start with Wise: it solves the payout problem without needing a UK branch visit. If you later want a conventional UK bank account, our Business bank account guidance add-on covers which providers realistically accept non-resident directors and how to prepare the application.
How long does the whole process take, start to finish?
Company formation is usually approved by Companies House within 24 to 48 hours of us filing, assuming your ID checks are clear. Payment accounts follow the company: Wise typically takes 2 to 5 business days, PayPal 2 to 7, and Stripe 3 to 7 depending on how quickly they review your website and how much extra documentation they ask for. A realistic end-to-end expectation for the full suite is 7 to 14 business days. Delays almost always come from platform-side verification requests, not from the incorporation itself.
What documents do I need to provide?
For incorporation: a clear colour scan or photo of your passport (or national ID), a proof of address issued in the last three months (utility bill, bank statement or government letter), and basic details for each director and shareholder: full legal name, date of birth, nationality and home address. For payment accounts we also need a working website or a description of what you sell, your expected monthly volume, and sometimes sample invoices or supplier agreements. We tell you exactly what is needed at each step; you never have to guess.
Is this legal and compliant with UK company law?
Yes. Everything we do is a standard, publicly documented process: we file your incorporation with Companies House using the information you provide, and we help you complete each payment platform's own application honestly. We do not create nominee structures to hide ownership, we do not misstate residency, and we do not submit false trading information. Your name appears on the public register as director and person with significant control, exactly as UK law requires. If a service ever promises to hide who really owns the company, walk away from it.
