Half the internet is gated by the country on your ID. A real UK company gets you past that gate, and you build it from your bedroom.
THE BUILD SHEET
| Part | Cheapest verified source | Now | Year two |
|---|---|---|---|
| Companies House ID verification · GOV.UK One Login | FREE | — | |
| Companies House direct | £100 | — | |
| Small Firms Services · Coventry | £40/yr | £40/yr | |
| LowCost LetterBox | £10/mo | £10/mo | |
| Seed Formations · inc. £100 state fee | £79.99+VAT | check renewal | |

The free step is the one everyone thinks is the wall. GOV.UK One Login takes a biometric passport from any country — no UK residence, no UK phone, no fee.
1 verify identity free · any biometric passport
2 incorporate £100 direct, or a bundle if you need the address
3 attach address registered office ≠ trading address
4 apply outward company first, always
A PO Box will be rejected — the registered office must be a physical UK address that can receive and acknowledge post (the rule).
What passes: a registered-office service, which is exactly what the £40/yr and £10/mo rows above are — real staffed addresses sold for this purpose, mail scanned to you. Cheapest compliant setup is the £40/yr Coventry office; take the £10/mo one when you also need trading mail.
WHAT IT OPENS
├─
local account details · invoice in a trusted currency · tier-1 pricing · suppliers that won’t onboard foreign entities
├─
pay contractors globally · settle tools that decline your country’s cards · fund platforms that only bill supported countries
├─
platforms, marketplaces, ad networks and partner programmes gated by country
├─
business tiers that only sell to registered companies · buyers restricted by jurisdiction
└─
a company number anyone can look up · contracts signed as an entity · a track record that accumulates
Money capability: receive · send · collect, plus virtual cards. Approval is a review every time — nobody is pre-approved, and anyone selling guaranteed approval is selling nothing.
THE HALF NOBODY WRITES ABOUT
Everyone optimises for getting in. Nobody plans for getting back in.
Locks happen. Re-verification lands months later. The platform asks for that country’s documents — and without them there is no appeal, no restore. With them, a lock is a hiccup.
Ready before you apply anywhere: passport · your real address proof · live selfie · certificate of incorporation + company number · director list and 25%+ ownership chart · working site and a real description of what you sell.

Don’t pay for: guaranteed approval · “aged company with documents” · rented address proof or statements · nominee directors hiding the owner · myukcompany.com — certificate expired 1 Dec 2024, issued to another company’s domain, and the page wants your passport.
Getting in is the easy half. The papers are what let you come back.
