Question 1

Can I form a company in a country I don't live in?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most of the jurisdictions we cover allow non-resident founders, and the whole process is remote. A few — the UAE free zones in particular — need you present for one step, and we tell you which before you pay.

Question 2

Do I need to travel?

Accepted Answer

For most jurisdictions, no. Where travel is genuinely required for identity verification or bank onboarding, it's shown in the jurisdiction table before you start, not discovered later.

Question 3

What documents will you ask me for?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the jurisdiction and the entity type. Typically a passport and a proof of address dated within three months for each director and shareholder. We tell you exactly which documents, for which people, and in which format.

Question 4

How long does it really take?

Accepted Answer

The day counts shown against each service are real ranges from cases we've filed, not best-case marketing numbers. A UK Ltd is usually 3–7 days. A DIFC company is 10–21. Registry backlogs can extend either, and you'll see the status change as it moves.

Question 5

What happens if the registry rejects my filing?

Accepted Answer

We refile at our cost. Rejections happen — usually over a name conflict or a document format — and refiling is not billed as a new order.

Question 6

Who actually files it?

Accepted Answer

A formation specialist licensed in that jurisdiction, working under our management. We select them, we're accountable for the work, and you deal with us throughout.

Question 7

Can you help with a bank account?

Accepted Answer

We make introductions to banks and EMIs that accept the entity type and founder profile in question. We can't guarantee an account — no one honestly can, because the decision is the bank's — but we make the introduction and prepare the paperwork.

Question 8

What happens after the first year?

Accepted Answer

Your company has ongoing filing obligations that vary by jurisdiction. We put them in a filing calendar in your account and remind you before each deadline. You can handle them yourself or have us do it.

Question 9

What exactly am I paying for?

Accepted Answer

Our fee covers the filing itself, the pre-submission review, the registered address where one is included, and your document vault. The government fee is set by the registry and passed through at cost as a separate line. Both are shown before you pay.

Question 10

Do you charge for refiling after a rejection?

Accepted Answer

No. Rejections happen — usually over a name conflict or a document format — and refiling is on us, not billed as a new order. The government fee may be charged again by the registry itself, and we'll tell you if that applies.

Question 11

When do I pay?

Accepted Answer

At the point you submit the formation, not before. You can build the whole application, save it, and come back — nothing is charged until you say so.

Question 12

How do you store my identity documents?

Accepted Answer

Encrypted at rest, access-logged, and visible only to the people working your case. Filing partners see only the documents attached to their active assignment, and that access is revoked automatically when the assignment closes.

Question 13

How long do you keep my data?

Accepted Answer

Identity documents are retained for the period the anti-money-laundering rules in that jurisdiction require — typically five to seven years after the relationship ends. Financial records are kept for seven years. You can request an export or deletion at any time, subject to those legal holds.
