Overview
What is UK Company Registration?
Registering a UK company usually means a private company limited by shares (an 'Ltd') incorporated with Companies House. The UK is fast, inexpensive and globally respected to incorporate in, with no residency requirement for directors — making it a popular base for Indian founders serving the UK and EU markets or wanting a credible English-law entity.
An Ltd needs at least one director and one shareholder, a UK registered office address, and disclosure of its Persons with Significant Control (PSC). After incorporation it registers with HMRC for Corporation Tax (and VAT once over the threshold), and each year files a confirmation statement and annual accounts with Companies House plus a Corporation Tax return with HMRC.
We handle incorporation, provide a UK registered office, set up director and PSC details, and support bank-account setup and HMRC registration — flagging FEMA/ODI for your investment from India.

Process
A clear path from start to filed
Official filing
How the Companies House + HMRC flow works
A UK company is incorporated with Companies House (director, shareholder, PSC and registered-office details), then registered with HMRC for Corporation Tax and, above the threshold, VAT; annually it files a confirmation statement and accounts with Companies House and a Corporation Tax return with HMRC.
We prepare and file through the official Companies House and HMRC systems; we don't operate a private API. Bank-account opening rests with the bank's KYC and is never guaranteed.

FAQs
UK Company Registration — frequently asked questions
What type of UK company should I register?
Usually a private company limited by shares (an 'Ltd') with Companies House — the standard, low-cost, credible vehicle for most businesses.
Do I need to be a UK resident to register?
No — there's no residency requirement for directors. You do need a UK registered office address, which we can provide.
What is a registered office?
The official UK address for your company, used for statutory mail from Companies House and HMRC. We provide one if you don't have a UK address.
What is a PSC?
A Person with Significant Control — broadly, someone who owns or controls more than 25% of the company. Their details must be disclosed. We set this up correctly.
What tax does a UK company pay?
Corporation Tax (a small-profits rate and a main rate apply depending on profit), and VAT once turnover crosses the threshold. Your exact position depends on your facts — we coordinate specialists.
What annual filings are required?
A confirmation statement and annual accounts to Companies House, and a Corporation Tax return to HMRC, each year. We manage these.
Can you guarantee a UK bank account?
No. Banking involves the bank's KYC and is never guaranteed for non-residents. We prepare you and support the process, but the bank decides.
How long does UK incorporation take?
Often just one to two days at Companies House once details are ready; banking and HMRC can add time. We never promise a fixed timeline.
What about FEMA/ODI for investing from India?
An Indian resident investing in a UK company must comply with FEMA's ODI/LRS rules. We flag these and coordinate specialists rather than advise standalone.
What do I receive?
Your incorporated Ltd with the certificate, memorandum and articles, a UK registered office and PSC setup, and bank-setup and HMRC registration support.
