The real problem

The problem with going it alone

A UK LTD is one of the fastest, cheapest structures a non-resident can open – but the paperwork assumes you already know it. Registered office, SIC codes, directors, PSCs, a UK service address: get one detail wrong and your filing bounces, or you end up with a company that banks and Stripe quietly reject at review.

Then comes the harder part. Wise, Starling and Tide each read a non-resident application differently, and Stripe UK approves on its own KYC terms – no intermediary can promise otherwise. Founders lose weeks resubmitting incomplete applications instead of trading. What you want is one team that files it right and prepares each application to be complete and credible.

Why it works

Why a UK LTD

For SaaS, agencies and freelancers selling into the UK and EU, a limited company is fast, inexpensive and instantly recognisable to customers and providers.

Fastest to incorporate

Companies House typically registers a UK LTD in 24-72 hours – the quickest of the three jurisdictions we set up, with a government fee of around £50.

Stripe UK & modern banking

Built for Stripe UK plus Wise, Starling or Tide business accounts. We prepare the strongest, complete application; approval remains each provider’s decision under their KYC/AML.

Credible UK & EU presence

A UK company reads as established to British and European customers, partners and platforms – useful when you invoice, contract or subscribe clients across the region.

Low, transparent cost

One of the lowest-cost real structures available. Government and provider fees are billed separately and shown upfront – no surprises at checkout.

Step by step

How setup works

One team, one process – from the €99 Jurisdiction Plan to a company that’s ready to bank and bill.

01

Jurisdiction Plan

A 45-60 minute call with a human expert confirms UK LTD is right for you, with a risk overview, expected costs and a clear roadmap. The €99 is credited toward your setup package.

02

Prepare & file

We assemble directors, PSCs, SIC codes, the registered office and UK service address, then file with Companies House – usually cleared in 24-72 hours.

03

Banking readiness

We prepare complete Wise, Starling or Tide business account applications built to pass review. Approval is each bank’s own decision under its KYC/AML rules.

04

Stripe UK setup

We help you assemble a strong, complete Stripe UK application. Stripe approves on its own terms – we make sure nothing in your submission is missing or weak.

05

Compliance & handover

You get your incorporation documents, filing calendar and next steps. Where tax or legal sign-off is required, we bring in qualified partners.

In context

UK LTD, US LLC or Estonia OÜ?

Three routes for non-resident founders. The right one depends on where your customers are and how you get paid – the Jurisdiction Plan settles it in one call.

UK LTD

Fast, low-cost, UK/EU-facing

Best for founders who want speed and credibility with UK and EU customers. Setup 24-72 hours (~£50). Stripe UK; banking via Wise, Starling or Tide.

US LLC

US market & USD payouts

Best for selling into the US and getting paid in dollars. Setup 1-4 weeks ($50-300 state fee). Stripe US; banking via Mercury or Relay.

Estonia OÜ

EU-facing, e-Residency

Best for a fully digital EU company via e-Residency. Setup 3-10 business days (~€265 gov fee). Banking via Wise, Revolut or LHV.

Government and provider fees are billed separately and shown upfront.

What makes this different

One operator, end to end

For SaaS, agencies and freelancers, “one operator” means company, banking readiness and compliance handled by a single team – not three disconnected vendors.

01

Company

Incorporation at Companies House in 24-72 hours, with the registered office, service address and PSC filings done correctly the first time.

02

Banking readiness

Wise, Starling or Tide applications and Stripe UK prepared complete and credible. Approval stays with each provider under its KYC/AML.

03

Compliance

Filing calendar, ongoing obligations and a clean handover – with qualified partners brought in for tax or legal sign-off where required.
