Register a UK company in 5 days and unlock international payments
6 min read
Stripe does not support Nigerian personal or business accounts. Neither does PayPal in a meaningful way. Millions of Nigerian developers, designers, writers, and consultants lose international clients every year because they cannot receive payment.
The solution is simple: register a UK Limited Company.
A UK Ltd company is a legal entity registered at Companies House in the United Kingdom. Once registered, you can:
Step 1: Swiipt prepares your incorporation documents — Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association, and Companies House form IN01.
Step 2: We file online with Companies House. Standard registration takes 24–48 hours. Same-day service is available.
Step 3: You receive your Certificate of Incorporation by email. Your company is now legally registered.
Step 4: We provide step-by-step guidance on opening your Wise Business account and applying for Stripe.
Total time: 3–7 business days.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Swiipt service fee | ₦180,000 |
| Companies House registration fee | ₦45,000 |
| Total | ₦225,000 |
Do I need to travel to the UK? No. The entire process is remote.
Do I pay UK tax? If you are not a UK resident and your business activities are entirely outside the UK, UK corporation tax typically does not apply. We recommend consulting a tax professional for your specific situation.
How do I get paid into my UK company? Wise Business is the simplest option. Open a Wise account under your company name and you get UK, US, and EU account details. Clients pay in. You transfer to your Nigerian account.
Can I register multiple directors? Yes. You can have co-founders as co-directors.
