UK company set-up
Considerations for North-Macedonia-based founders
Formation
Structure is agreed before filing: personal or DOO shareholding, share allocation, director identity.
Directors and shareholders
North-Macedonia-based directors are welcome, subject to identity verification. Apostilled and translated documentation is coordinated in advance.
Addresses
Registered Office and Director Service Address are the standard set. Virtual Business Address supports UK-facing presence.
Companies House compliance
UK Companies House filings run separately from the Central Registry of the Republic of North Macedonia.
Banking readiness
UK banks assess applicants from wider-European markets carefully on source of funds and beneficial ownership. Preparation matters; approval remains with the bank, subject to provider assessment.
Payment provider readiness
Payment-provider onboarding depends on transparent documentation, ownership and web presence.
Cross-border considerations
Corporate tax residence and cross-border VAT sit with an appropriate independent local or UK professional.
VAT and EORI
UK VAT applies at the registration threshold. EORI numbers apply to cross-border goods movement.
Recommended pathway
