Do I have to be in the UK to form a company?

You can form a UK Limited company, even if you do not live in the UK or if you're a non-UK national. The director and shareholders can be of any nationality and live anywhere in the world.

A UK limited company must have a UK registered office address. Companies MadeSimple provides numerous packages that can help you get started.
