One more thing I would like to add to this discussion is that if you register a company and are not based in Britain you will need to send notarised copies of your passport and bank statements (less than 3 months old).
This is the case if you are a director with 25% or more shareholding in the company. You are not required to hold a visa or visit the country.
This is my experience recently registering a company with two other people - I am British and the other two are Indians. I was present at the bank and registered for the account whilst the other two were overseas. Some couriered documents were required with the notarised documents as mentioned above, additionally they were required to complete a form which they signed.
They have full access to the account - online and offline - in the same way I have.
