Overseas Owners of UK Companies.
Owning a UK company from abroad multiplies the small print: a registered office that actually reads the post, filings that don't wait for your time zone, dividends that cross borders with treaty relief claimed properly, and directors who may never set foot in the UK. We run the UK end completely, so the company behaves as if its owner were on the High Road.
What we take off your plate
- Registered office and company secretarial handled at our Finchley address
- Accounts, Corporation Tax and VAT run without needing you in the country
- Withholding, treaty relief and cross-border dividends dealt with correctly
- Everything digital: approvals, records and meetings across time zones
Distance is a courier problem, not a compliance one.
Owning a UK company from abroad multiplies the small frictions: post arriving at an address you can't check, filings due in a system you don't log into, an accountant who works your night-time hours. None of that is a reason the company should run less well than a Finchley owner's — and with us it doesn't. Our address is your registered office, every official letter is identified and sent to you the day it lands, and the whole relationship runs on the portal, WhatsApp and scheduled calls in your time zone.
The technical side has real teeth for non-residents: the Non-resident Landlord Scheme decides whether UK rent reaches you gross or minus 20% at source; UK company filings continue regardless of where the director sleeps; and the interaction between UK tax and your home country's — treaty relief, withholding, what needs declaring where — rewards being planned rather than discovered. If the company is a subsidiary of a foreign group, we produce the accounts in the format the parent's auditors expect, on the parent's timetable.
What our overseas clients actually buy is the absence of surprise: nothing missed because nobody was watching the letterbox, nothing filed late because midnight here is lunchtime there, and a company that looks — to banks, customers and HMRC — exactly as solid as one run from next door. The wider picture lives on our cross-border page.
The details we mind so you don't have to
- NRL scheme approval so rent arrives gross — the most common fix for new non-resident clients
- Registered-office post identified and escalated the day it arrives, not forwarded monthly
- Filing deadlines that don't care about time zones — tracked and hit early
- Group reporting formats and deadlines for overseas parent companies
