About 1Office UK

The London branch of a multi-country accounting group, this firm operates from the City and helps both residents and non-residents set up and run UK companies. The wider group works across seven countries, including Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania and Ireland, and publishes its site in several Nordic and Baltic languages. In the UK it describes supporting more than 450 businesses and says it has helped over 1,500 companies get started. Clients are mostly foreign founders, online sellers, freelancers and start-ups, who manage their records and invoices through a self-service online portal. The practice is registered with Companies House as a formation agent, and its accountants are AAT licensed. It also mentions teams in Stockholm and Helsinki, and says it accepts customers from most countries, subject to anti-money-laundering restrictions.
