UK Company Formation - How to set up a UK limited company

Setting up a limited company

 The UK law has a range of benefits which encourage innovative and fast-paced results for business and financial investments. 

The common law legal system established in the UK offers a dynamic model which provides the basis for most international insurance, banking, aviation and shipping contracts. We work with respected accountancy and law firms throughout the world to establish precise information regarding the international and UK tax regulations. You can also find out how you can benefit from using the correct UK laws to reduce the levels of tax which you pay. 

Our experienced team have established a global network of legal and economic professionals which we are in constant contact with to help establish the best advice and information for our clients. Our expert tax advisers can help you with the following aspects of UK tax planning: 

  • Businesses and companies established within the United Kingdom operating outside of the UK 

  • Businesses from outside of the United Kingdom who invest within the UK 

  • Senior executives who have contracts overseas who are returning to the United Kingdom or seeking employment outside the UK 

  • Nationals from outside the UK who wish to enter the UK to minimise the capital gains or income tax that they would have to pay in the country where they are tax residents

  • Establishing tax-efficient trusts which are designed to benefit dependents or families of people who pay high taxes 

  • Investments in the UK property market 

 If you would like to find out more information about how our legal and economic experts can help you to benefit from investing in the UK, please call us today for a consultation regarding your individual circumstances. 

We can also help you understand aspects of UK law to help you reduce your tax payments.

Setting Up a Limited Company is Easy 

A limited company is basically limited by shares or guarantee, and setting one can be so easy! If your company is limited by shares, this means that your company must earn a profit, and if your company is limited by shares, this means that your company is a non-profit company.  

Limited by shares usually entails that your company is legally separated from the main people that actually run the business, and your business and personal finances are also separate. It also means your company will have shares and shareholders, and you can still keep the profit you make, even after paying your tax.  

Limited by guarantee usually entails that, again, our company is legally separated from the main people that actually run the business, and your business and personal finances are also separate. However, it means your company will have guarantors and a guaranteed amount, and the profits that you make are investing back into the company.  

If you would like to find out more information about setting up your limited company, then please get in touch with us today. We can give you the help and advice you need, and show you how easy it is to set up! 

What Details Do I Need to Set Up a Company? 

When setting up a company, you firstly need to find a name for your company. Once you have found your company name, you will then need to choose from one of our bundles. 

These bundles are all different prices, and include different packages for you to choose from; it is important to choose the one that best suits you and your circumstances.

 Once you have purchased your bundle, you will then need to fill in some details, including: 

  • Your company name 
  • Your company's business activities 
  • A UK registered office address. 
  • Company director's details 
  • Details of shareholders, and any other PSC Identification from the owners of the company may also be required.

Do I Need a Business Bank Account? 

Legally speaking, you don't need to have a business bank account; however, it is extremely beneficial and much easier to have one. 

Having a business bank account will keep all your business expenditure and earnings in one place, and keep other accounts separate.  

If you need any help setting up your business bank account, or have any queries or questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call today. We are always on hand to help.  

What if I Change my Mind and Don't Need the Company? 

If you decide that you don't need your company anymore, then you don't need to worry. Many companies change their mind throughout the year, and your website and company can just be shut down if needed. Your company can be shut down fully at a very affordable price, do you don't need to worry, giving you a stress-free experience.
