Registration of a foreign IT company

Customer request

Our company receive a request from the client for registration of IT company abroad to provide web design services. The client's main requirement was to find the best jurisdiction for registering an IT company to work with customers from Australia, Canada, Japan and the USA. In addition, it was important for the client to register an IT company and open an account in the same country, as well as to be able to register an IT company remotely.

Proposed solutions

Before recommending a jurisdiction for registering an IT company, our experts analysed a number of factors: the client's IT company website and the services it plans to provide, its potential customers and their countries of registration, the need to open a corporate account in a foreign bank, the client's ability to travel abroad to register an IT company and visit a bank branch to open an account.

The client was offered to register a company in the United Kingdom (England) with the possibility of opening an account in the British payment system. Under UK law, a non-resident of the UK may be a director and shareholder of an English company, and accordingly, a citizen of Ukraine may be a director and sole shareholder of an English company. Registration of a company in England (UK) is a remote procedure that does not require the director and shareholder to travel abroad. To register a company in England, you need to go through online verification using a special link.

Maira Consult specialists helped the client register a company in England within 1 business day. On the recommendation of Maira Consult, the client chose one of the leading British payment systems that provides a personal British IBAN to open an account. Opening an account with a British payment system is also a remote procedure that does not require travelling abroad.

Result obtained by the client

The Client received a comprehensive solution for his business - registration of an IT company and opening a corporate account in one country. At the same time, the procedure for registering a company in England and opening an account in the British payment system is carried out without going abroad, and the proposed jurisdiction is convenient for conducting IT business with all the specified counterparties.
