UK LTD Formation FAQ — Answered Honestly

Is the £399 really all-inclusive? What else will I pay?

The £399 covers everything: Companies House registration, UTR application, London address (1 year), Articles of Association, banking introduction, and lifetime support. Additional costs are government fees only: Confirmation Statement (£13/year) and registered address renewal (£99/year after Year 1). No hidden charges from OpenEntity.

Can a non-UK resident legally be a company director?

Yes. UK law has no residency requirement for directors. You can live anywhere in the world and legally direct a UK LTD. You only need a valid passport and a residential address for the Companies House register.

Can I open a UK bank account without visiting the UK?

Yes. We introduce you to Wise Business, Tide, and Revolut Business — all accept non-resident directors remotely. Approval is subject to each provider's compliance criteria. Traditional high-street banks (HSBC, Barclays) typically require UK residency or an in-person visit.

What if my application is rejected?

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee on formation services. If we cannot form your company for any reason, full refund — no questions asked. Companies House rejections are extremely rare because we verify everything before filing.

Why is OpenEntity better than cheap £12 formation services?

Cheap services file paperwork and disappear. You get no UTR assistance, no banking introduction, no compliance support, and no human review. Our clients save weeks of frustration and get operational faster with a complete, banking-ready setup.

How long until I can issue invoices and get paid?

Your company is registered in 24–48h with a company number. Banking typically takes 3–7 additional days. Most clients are issuing invoices within 2 weeks of application.
