What the UK requires from you
| Item | Why |

Some of these details become public on the register, so give only what is needed.

Thresholds, fees and form numbers are set by the authorities and change from time to time. We confirm the current position when we start your filing.
Why founders choose a UK company
A UK private limited company gives a business a recognised legal form that customers, banks and public bodies understand. The company is a separate legal entity, so the owners are generally not personally liable for its debts. A UK address and company number also help with UK suppliers, marketplaces and payment providers, and the public register lets customers verify who they are dealing with.
Owners from India or elsewhere can hold all of the shares. The practical points are the registered office address, who acts as director and how the company is taxed in both countries, and they deserve attention before you file.
Setting up banking and tax
| Step | Notes |
|---|---|
| Corporation Tax registration | HMRC is told automatically on incorporation; check your own filing duties |
| VAT | Register when taxable turnover passes the threshold, or earlier if it helps |
| PAYE | Needed once you employ people |
| Bank account | UK banks and fintech providers each have their own onboarding rules for non-resident owners |
Your home country may also tax income from a UK company, and rules on controlled foreign companies and transfer pricing can apply. Take local advice alongside ours.
Mistakes to avoid
- Choosing a company name that is too close to an existing one.
- Using a home address as the public registered office without realising it becomes public.
- Missing the confirmation statement or accounts deadlines.
- Forgetting to keep the register of people with significant control up to date.
Late filings attract automatic penalties from Companies House. We keep a calendar for each client so the dates are not a surprise.
How the process runs with us
| Step | What we do |
|---|---|
| Choose a name | Check availability at Companies House |
| Prepare documents | Articles of association and details of directors and owners |
| File the application | Submit to Companies House with the filing fee |
| Receive the certificate | Your company number and incorporation certificate |
| Set up after incorporation | Registered office, register of owners, tax and banking steps |
Incorporation itself is quick once the documents are right. The bank account and VAT steps take longer.
