Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions founders and growing businesses ask us most.

What services does ST Consultancy provide?
We help founders and companies set up, stay compliant and grow across borders. Our services cover company formation, corporate structuring and tax planning, business plans and investment readiness, market expansion, and business and individual immigration support. We work in the UK, Ireland, Hungary, India and Canada, with offices in Glasgow, London, Dublin and Budapest.
Can I set up a company in a country where I do not live?
Usually, yes. A UK company has no residency requirement for directors or shareholders. An Irish company needs at least one EEA-resident director, or a non-resident director bond. An Indian company needs at least one director who is resident in India. We explain the rules for your country and can help you meet them.
How long does it take to set up a company?
It depends on the country. In the UK, Companies House usually incorporates a company within 24–48 hours of receiving a complete online application. In Ireland, the CRO aims to incorporate within 5 working days with a standard constitution. In Hungary, a Kft. using the template deed is registered the working day after the tax number is issued. In India, incorporation usually takes one to three weeks once documents and digital signatures are ready. Opening a bank account and registering for tax can add time, and we plan for this with you.
How does the consultation process work?
- Discovery call: a free 30-minute call to understand your plans and the countries involved.
- Proposal: we send a written proposal with the scope, timeline and fees.
- Engagement and checks: once you accept, we sign an engagement letter and complete the identity checks the law requires.
- Delivery: we prepare and file the documents, coordinate with authorities and partners, and keep you updated at each step.
- Ongoing support: if you need it, we stay on for compliance, filings and growth advice.
How much do your services cost?
It depends on the service, the country and how complex your situation is. Many standard services, such as forming a company or providing a registered office, have a fixed fee. For larger projects we give you a written quote after the discovery call, so you know the cost before any work starts. The discovery call itself is free and there is no obligation.
Do you support businesses after they are set up?
Yes. Many clients stay with us for registered office and company secretarial services, annual filings and compliance, governance and shareholder matters, sponsor licence compliance, and expansion into further countries.
