Company Formation in the UK

Setting Up a Company in the UK Is Now Simple

Register your Ltd company with Companies House and enter the UK and European markets with confidence. No citizenship or residency required.

Setting Up a Company in the UK

Forming a UK company is an official registration handled by Companies House. The entire application is completed online, and the process is open to founders who do not live in the country.

The filing covers the company name, a registered address within the United Kingdom, director and shareholder details, and the SIC code describing the trading activity. The articles of association are submitted with the same application.

Once approved, the company is entered on the register and a Certificate of Incorporation is issued. From that point the company is a legal entity: it can sign contracts and begin trading in its own name.

Who Can Form a Company in the UK?

You do not need to be a UK citizen or resident to form a company there. Foreign individuals and corporate entities can apply directly by providing the required details.

The minimum requirements are appointing at least one director and declaring a valid registered address within the United Kingdom. Because the process runs entirely online, there is no need to travel.

Once those conditions are met, Companies House completes the registration and the company is officially active.

Ltd companies must file a Confirmation Statement and annual accounts with Companies House every year.
