The 6 steps for your Ltd / LLP
Every step handled by a local advisor — you only sign where needed.
Step 01
We choose between Ltd and LLP
We compare Ltd and LLP on public duties, ownership split and annual cost with HMRC and Companies House.
Step 02
Name and incorporation documents
We check name availability and prepare the memorandum, articles and PSC statement for your signature.
Step 03
Filing with Companies House
You file the incorporation (or whoever you appoint does) with the reviewed file; the company number arrives in 24-48 hours when everything is correct.
Step 04
Registered office and compliance
We provide the registered office, handle official mail and flag every Companies House or HMRC notice.
Step 05
Tax, VAT and payroll registrations
Corporation Tax registration, VAT registration if you pass the £90,000 threshold and payroll with RTI if you hire.
Step 06
Annual accounts and confirmation statement
Each year we prepare the accounts and the confirmation statement and remind you before HMRC's deadline.
Three points that raise the most questions
NIF / NIE of the partners
The UK sets no residence requirement for directors or shareholders: you can run your Ltd from Spain. We prepare the incorporation documents and the PSC statement for you to file.
Bank account and capital
The UK sets no minimum capital: you can incorporate from £1. The corporate account is opened within the process, with a KYC file and an interview.
Buying portfolio companies
The Ltd is a common structure also for grouping holdings in a holding company: it allows centralising several subsidiaries under a single parent and simplifying the distribution of dividends between group companies.
