Banking realities

What Nigerian founders actually experience with UK banking.

UK banks and fintechs each have their own appetite for non-resident founders. From Nigeria, the most reliable route is usually a tier of fintech accounts (Wise, Revolut, Tide) established first, followed by a traditional bank once trading activity is visible. We shape your application to reflect this.

Frequently asked

FAQ — starting from Nigeria

Can a Nigerian resident own 100% of a UK Limited Company?+

Yes. The UK places no restriction on foreign ownership or foreign directors of a UK Limited Company.

Will I need to travel to the UK?+

No. Formation, identity verification, banking preparation and most fintech onboarding can be completed remotely from Nigeria.

How long does it take from Nigeria?+

Once identity verification and documentation are complete, incorporation is typically same-working-day for Prestige and Elite clients.

Do I need to pay UK tax on all my income?+

A UK Limited Company pays UK Corporation Tax on its profits. Personal tax treatment for you as a Nigerian resident depends on your local rules — we can introduce a specialist accountant.
