Company Registration And Bank Account Setup
Company Formation And Banking Introductions

Company Registration Plus FinTech Or High Street Bank Introduction

We coordinate company formation files using the correct legal form for the jurisdiction, then prepare the banking route around the entity, founder profile, ownership structure, and expected activity. That can mean a digital-first onboarding path with providers such as Mercury, Relay, Revolut Business, or Aspire where the file fits, or a more traditional high street banking route where local management, local substance, or a nominee structure is the more credible route.

This is an execution service, not a generic advisory retainer. We structure the file, coordinate the incorporation, prepare the post-registration pack, and position the banking application on a jurisdiction-specific basis. The legal form matters. The director setup matters. The banking route matters. Treating all jurisdictions the same is how weak files get rejected.

What We Handle

  • Jurisdiction screening before launch
  • Entity-type selection based on ownership and use case
  • Formation coordination and registration support
  • Post-incorporation document pack for onboarding
  • FinTech application preparation where the file is suitable
  • High street banking intro support where selected

What We Do Not Misrepresent

  • We do not sell guaranteed account approval
  • We do not market S Corporation as a standard foreign-founder formation product
  • We do not present nominee directors as a substitute for substance where the bank expects real operating rationale
  • We do not force every file into the same banking route
  • We do not treat low-cost filing websites as a substitute for proper execution

Select A Continent

Each tab below shows the jurisdictions we most commonly coordinate, the correct legal form, and the route we typically prepare for banking. Prices shown are formation plus FinTech bank introduction pricing unless stated otherwise. Nominee director and high street bank support are priced separately.

🇺🇸
United States
Delaware LLC Wyoming LLC Delaware C Corporation
USD 938 to USD 1,188 Formation + fintech bank intro

For most foreign founders, the workable formation choices are usually a limited liability company or a C corporation, depending on ownership, fundraising plans, and tax structuring. We do not present “S Corp” as a default registration product. Where appropriate, we position the file for providers such as Mercury or Relay.

Typical Banking Route
  • Mercury or Relay for suitable U.S.-formed companies
  • High street bank intro available as an add-on where the file merits it
  • Principal place of business, owner documents, and activity narrative prepared upfront
🇬🇧
United Kingdom
Private Company Limited by Shares (Ltd)
USD 406 Formation + fintech bank intro

The standard structure for most trading and services businesses is a private company limited by shares, commonly shown as “Ltd”. This route is often used for lean operating structures that want straightforward incorporation and a digital banking path.

Typical Banking Route
  • Revolut Business route assessed where profile and geography fit
  • Alternative EMI or bank route discussed where needed
  • High street bank add-on available for more traditional onboarding preference
🇪🇪
Estonia
Private Limited Company (OÜ)
USD 1,563 Formation + fintech bank intro

The standard digital-first Estonian company is the OÜ. Where the management board is outside Estonia, the file normally needs an Estonian legal address and licensed contact person. This route is useful for founders who want an EU company with an administrative setup built properly from day one.

Typical Banking Route
  • Revolut Business or other EEA-compatible route where eligibility exists
  • Contact person and legal address coordinated where required
  • Post-registration pack prepared for account onboarding
🇵🇹
Portugal
Sociedade Unipessoal por Quotas Sociedade por Quotas (Lda) Sociedade Anónima
USD 1,188 Formation + fintech bank intro

For most owner-managed businesses, the usual forms are a single-member quota company or a quota company, both commonly presented with “Lda”. Public-company style structures are handled separately and only where the business case justifies them.

Typical Banking Route
  • Revolut Business or alternative European route where profile fits
  • Portuguese corporate documentation organised for onboarding
  • High street banking support available as an add-on
🇸🇬
Singapore
Private Company Limited by Shares (Pte. Ltd.)
USD 5,625 Formation + fintech bank intro

For commercial operating businesses, the standard structure is usually a private company limited by shares, shown as “Pte. Ltd.”. Singapore requires at least one locally resident director, so nominee director support is often relevant where the founder remains offshore.

Typical Banking Route
  • Aspire route assessed for suitable Singapore-incorporated files
  • Local-resident director requirement handled through nominee add-on where appropriate
  • High street bank intro available for clients preferring traditional banking
🇭🇰
Hong Kong
Private Company Limited by Shares
USD 6,125 Formation + fintech bank intro

The standard commercial setup is a private company limited by shares. Hong Kong does not require a Hong Kong-resident director, but the company must still be structured credibly, with at least one natural-person director and a file that makes sense for banking.

Typical Banking Route
  • Digital or hybrid banking route assessed case by case
  • High street banking support available where the activity profile supports it
  • Nominee director is not a default legal requirement here, but may still be chosen for governance or banking reasons
🇿🇦
South Africa
Private Company ((Pty) Ltd)
USD 3,875 Formation + banking intro support

For privately held operating businesses, the usual route is a private company, commonly written as “(Pty) Ltd”. Where the local operating company is not a good fit for international digital banking, we advise on whether the banking should sit locally or in a separate treasury structure.

Typical Banking Route
  • Local or regional banking route assessed first
  • International digital banking only where the entity and use case genuinely fit
  • High street banking intro support available as an add-on
🇳🇬
Nigeria
Private Company Limited by Shares (Ltd)
USD 4,188 Formation + banking intro support

For most privately held Nigerian businesses, the standard route is a private company limited by shares. This route is handled more carefully on the banking side because onboarding standards are materially more sensitive to activity, sector, and transaction narrative.

Typical Banking Route
  • Local or regional banking route assessed first
  • International fintech onboarding only where the legal and operational profile supports it
  • High street bank intro available as an add-on where realistic
🇦🇪
United Arab Emirates
Mainland Limited Liability Company (LLC) Free Zone FZ-LLC Free Zone Establishment (FZE)
USD 6,875 Formation + banking intro support

The right legal form depends on whether the business needs mainland trading capability or a free zone setup. We do not collapse all UAE setups into one label because the formation mechanics, licensing, and banking expectations differ materially between mainland and free zone structures.

Typical Banking Route
  • Digital banking route assessed only where the file fits provider criteria
  • High street banking is often the more credible route for substance-sensitive files
  • Nominee director support available where chosen as part of the governance setup

Add-On Pricing

Service Price What It Covers
Nominee Director USD 4,375 Nominee director arrangement where the chosen jurisdiction or banking route requires or benefits from local management support
High Street Bank Intro USD 3,125 Preparation and introduction support for traditional bank onboarding rather than a digital-only route
Priority File Handling USD 1,188 Accelerated document review, faster formation coordination, and front-of-queue handling

Why We Separate Formation Type From Banking Route

A company can be registered correctly and still be a bad banking file. A Delaware LLC is not a Singapore Pte. Ltd. An Estonian OÜ is not a Portuguese Lda. A Hong Kong private company is not a UAE mainland LLC. The legal form, the director setup, the ownership profile, and the operating rationale all change how the banking application should be positioned. That is why the page is structured jurisdiction by jurisdiction instead of selling one generic package.

How The Process Works

1. Jurisdiction Screening

We review the founders, activity, ownership profile, and banking objective before recommending the legal form.

2. Formation Coordination

We coordinate the incorporation documents, registration steps, and any jurisdiction-specific support items such as a nominee director or contact person.

3. Banking Preparation

We prepare the onboarding stack for the selected fintech or high street route and organise the supporting company documents.

4. Introduction And Completion

The file is moved into the selected onboarding route, with corrections handled where needed during the opening process.

Request A Jurisdiction-Specific Setup Proposal

Email us with the country, ownership structure, planned activity, and whether you want a fintech-first route or a high street bank route. We will quote the file based on the actual jurisdiction and entity type rather than forcing it into a generic package.

Financely coordinates company formation workflows and banking introductions. Account opening remains subject to the onboarding, compliance, and approval standards of the relevant financial institution or platform. Where nominee, local director, corporate secretarial, licensed address, or regulated provider support is required, those services are arranged through the appropriate third-party providers and priced separately where applicable.
