Company Registration in the UK

About Our Service

Company registration in the UK is the official process through which an individual or business entity becomes legally recognized as a corporation under UK law. The registration is handled by Companies House, the UK government agency responsible for company formation, record-keeping, and dissolution.

When a company is registered, it becomes a separate legal entity meaning it can:

  • Enter into contracts in its own name.
  • Own property or assets.
  • Hire employees.
  • Sue or be sued independently of its owners.

Most entrepreneurs choose to register a Private Limited Company (Ltd), as it provides limited liability protection, separating personal assets from company debts. This structure is ideal for startups, freelancers, e-commerce sellers, consultants, and international businesses wanting to establish credibility in the UK and European markets.

There are other company structures available too:

  • Public Limited Company (PLC): Suitable for large-scale businesses planning to raise funds from the public.
  • Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): Designed for professionals and firms who prefer flexible internal arrangements.
  • Branch or Subsidiary: Ideal for foreign companies expanding into the UK without forming a new entity.

Minimum Requirement for starting an incorporation process for the Limited Company in the UK:

  • A name for the company
  • An address for the company – this can be any UK address
  • At least one director – this person does not need to be a UK resident
  • At least one shareholder – this can be an individual or another company

 

Start your global business journey in the UK

 

Registering a UK company also allows:

  • Opening a UK business bank account.
  • Registering for Value Added Tax (VAT) and Corporation Tax.
  • Accessing trade opportunities in the UK and across Europe.

For non-UK residents, the process is entirely online. You don’t need to visit the UK physically  documents can be notarized, apostilled, and submitted digitally. we help global entrepreneurs, especially those outside the UK, incorporate and legally establish their business in the United Kingdom.
