FAQ
UK company formation questions Arabic founders search for
Dense answers on cost, remote setup, ID verification, banks, and honest limits.
How much does UK company formation cost with Eteform?
Service fees start from £226. Companies House government fee £100 is shown separately on every package. Privacy packages add London registered office and optional director service address. See /packages for current pricing.
Can I form a UK company remotely without travelling?
Yes. Non-residents can incorporate a UK Ltd remotely. Eteform helps you complete identity verification support for the formation file, then prepares and submits the filing.
How does identity verification for Companies House work?
Directors typically need to prove identity for electronic filings. We guide you through a structured verification workflow for the formation file — passport, proof of address, and related checks — with clear document guidance. We do not claim a public ACSP licence on this site.
How long does formation take?
Usually 24–48 working hours after complete documents and payment, subject to Companies House workload. Same-day options may be available for urgent complete files before UK cut-offs.
Does forming a UK company guarantee a bank, Stripe, or visa?
No. Formation gives you a legal entity, company number, and official documents. Banks, payment providers, and visa decisions are independent. We state limits clearly and guide next steps.
What is director address privacy and a London registered office?
The registered office is the company’s official UK address (often London). Director service address privacy helps keep your residential address off the public register where the package includes it.
Is the £100 Companies House fee included in package prices?
No. Service fees start from £226; the £100 Companies House fee is always listed as a separate line so you see the full cost before ordering.
What do I need before submitting an order?
A proposed English name, SIC activity, director/shareholder/PSC details, and identity documents for verification support. We walk you through the order step by step.
Why use Eteform instead of other Arabic formation sites?
We are a UK company (09613257) verifiable on the public register since 2015, with bilingual support, transparent GBP pricing, and structured ID verification support — without fake residency promises.
What happens after I receive the certificate of incorporation?
You receive the certificate and company number, then follow after-formation steps (Confirmation Statement, corporation tax, VAT if needed). See /after-formation — without bank or visa guarantees.
