FAQ

Who can register a company in 1Office Company Formation Portal?

The portal can be used by both residents and non-residents of UK. It is perfect for foreign entrepreneurs who wish to start their business in UK. The portal is designed to make registering a company easier than it is in Companies House.

Why should I order address service?

In the UK it is a legal requirement that all companies that want to trade legally in the UK register with Companies House and HMRC using an UK address.

What is the difference between registered address and director's service address?

In the UK it is a legal requirement that all companies that want to trade legally in the UK register with Companies House and HMRC using an UK address (Registered address). Companies House also legally requires all directors of UK companies and partners of LLP’s to register an address for the director on the public record (Directors’ service address). So if you don’t have an address in the UK and you want to keep your home address private, you should order both of these services.

Can I start any kind of business with 1Office?

Yes, almost any kind. We offer our services to freelancers and contractors (software developers, IT experts, business consultants, marketing & sales specialists, designers, translators etc), Amazon FBA, companies working in wholesale, consulting, construction, e-commerce etc.

I am a resident of UK. Do I still need address service for my company?

You can use your UK address if you have one, but both registered address and director’s service address will be public, so it is not recommended to use your home address as it will not be private any more.

Which taxes do I have to pay?

Every person´s and company’s tax obligations are different and depend on several circumstances. To find out which tax obligations or tax risks you have please book international tax consultation.

Who has to submit annual accounts? What happens if I don't submit the annual accounts?

Submitting annual accounts is required for all companies registered in the UK even if there is no activity during the financial year. When the annual report is not submitted, penalties may apply.
