Hi there when it asks for occupation do I put in my current job or just put down the role of director, officer etc

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

Yes many people put their current occupation or "director".

[@SoyNassimYT]

Could I later purchase the optional standard products?

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

Yes you can later add additional products if you so wish.

[@maarcer6614]

For the proof of address if i have two addresses on the same city do i need to show them both or just the one i’m at the most

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

We need proof of address showing where you are currently living, so this would normally be a bank statement or utility bill with your full name and full address.

[@ahmadarshad1929]

You said if you get london services to your packages what do you mean by that

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

You can use our London office address, you can view more on our website www.yourcompanyformations.co.uk

[@mustafakok4483]

Hi? Is there any way or a service where a non-resident company owner won't practically be regarded as NETP. I mean a company with correspondence address where there is an authorized legal representative. This could be an accountant most probably. As far as i know, in order a company owner to be VAT exempted on Amazon (80 k threshold) , he/she must be UK resident or the company must physically be established in the UK rather than a virtual address. Please correct me, if i may be wrong.

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

I am not able to provide any answers on Amazon policy such as VAT exempt, this is not an area we have any expertise in unfortunately.

[@mustafakok4483]

@@yourcompanyformationsltd Hi. In fact,This question actually is not about Amazon. It is about ,whether you’re able to assign an authorized ( by company owner) contact person in UK. Thanks anyway.

[@REALIGNSPHARMACEUTICALSCOLTD]

Do we have a virtual office mailing address in London

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

Yes we do, you can find out more here; www.yourcompanyformations.co.uk/address/registered-office/

[@NguyenLoc-bm7qe]

For the proof of address can i use bank statement print or scan???

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

Yes you can.

[@rebelsaab9215]

What about bank account and credit card nor non uk residents.

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

There are always options for opening a bank account as a non-resident. If you haven't already, you should start to short list some you may like to work with. Banks such as HSBC, Wise and even Barclays have options. It is important to understand each bank will have different acceptance policies, so it may require some shopping around until you find one that is suited to your specific requirements.

[@fifthrow2047]

When can we start the company after registration ? When can we accept direct payments to our bank account?

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

You can start taking payments once the company has been incorporated, and you then have subsequently chosen a suitable bank / merchant account to allow you to accept the incoming payments.

[@Mrgg874]

Hello there I already register a business but I put it under my friend name thats over 18 but when it come to credas he refused to puthis info cause he has a job and if the government knows that he has a business he will get fired , so can I change the business owner name or nothing will be to him , I order the business for online store

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

I would advise speaking to the agent who you are working with. It is important to ensure that the data you provide is accurate and correct as if you were to provide false information or data that is not accurate this would then contravene UK Company Law & Legislation.

[@Abdurrahman_Bhatti]

They are asking me registration number, registry held and law form. Whats that?

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

You will need to email our customer support team on [e-mail] - they will aim to respond within 1-2 working hours during the working week. They can then look into your account and find a solution.

[@xyphervysa2139]

What if the person who wants to pass the id check doesn’t have any bills or bank statements that show his residential address?

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

Good question. It is a legal requirement to verify that you live at the address and this would be through an official document with your name, address and dated within 3 months. I would contact our customer service team with the documents you do have available so they can review them and see if they are acceptable.

[@xyphervysa2139]

@@yourcompanyformationsltd i wonder if it could be accepted but for my example i would like to register a company in the future but i don’t have any bills, however i’m living with my husband and all the bills are under his name.

[@azzirskitchen2287]

Is limited by shares is same with private limited?

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

Yes it is, in the UK limited by shares is a private limited company.

[@walaaabdou8370]

After registering a British company, I would like to know how many days to wait until I obtain the company data to use in my work

the price is monthly or on time

[@yourcompanyformationsltd]

So our formation packages are a once off fee. However, if you have a virtual address in a package this can renew yearly, you do not have to renew and can just change address before renewal. You will be notified via email on all your options well before renewal (if you have a virtual address for example).
