A:Residents are individuals who live in the United Kingdom and have business interests in the UK.
Non-residents are individuals who live outside the UK but have business interests in the UK.
The critical difference between resident and non-resident is that a non-resident is an individual who resides in one country but has business interests in another country.
In comparison, a resident is an individual who lives in the same country as their business interests. If you are setting up a company from overseas, you will be completing a non-UK resident company formation.
We've helped thousands of foreign nationals register their UK business through Companies House and HMRC, all that’s required is that your company should have one director, one shareholder & UK registered office address, which can be the address of a friend, family member’s or a virtual office address.
These are the only requirements for an overseas resident to register a UK company.
