What Is a UK LTD?

A private limited company — separate from you, owned by you

A UK LTD is a private company limited by shares, registered at Companies House. It is a separate legal entity from its owners: the company holds the contracts, invoices clients and owns the business assets, while the shareholders' liability is limited to what they put in.

UK law does not require directors or shareholders to live in Britain. A founder in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, the UAE or anywhere else can be the sole director and sole shareholder of a UK LTD. What the company must have is a registered office address in the UK, at least one director, at least one shareholder, a record of its people with significant control (PSC), and a SIC code that describes what the business does — all of which we set up with you before filing.

🛡️

Limited Liability

The company is legally separate from you, so business debts and claims stay with the company — your personal assets stay separate, as long as you keep company and personal finances apart.

🇬🇧

A Real UK Presence

A Companies House company number and a UK registered office give UK and international clients, suppliers and marketplaces a business they recognise and can verify on the public register.

🏦

UK Banking Routes

With your incorporation certificate and company details, non-resident directors commonly open UK business accounts with fintech providers. We guide you through the documents providers ask for.

🌍

100% Foreign Ownership

No UK partner, sponsor or local director is required. One person abroad can be director and shareholder at the same time.

📄

Simple, Known Structure

Shares, directors and PSC records follow a clear Companies House framework that banks, accountants and partners worldwide already understand.

🧾

Built for Ongoing Compliance

Confirmation statements, annual accounts and corporation tax have fixed rules and deadlines — and we track them on our calendar so nothing is missed.

How It Works

Your UK LTD in four steps — all over WhatsApp & email

1

Tell Us Your Plan

Message us on WhatsApp: what you sell, where your customers are, and who will own the company. Free consultation and an honest UK-vs-US recommendation first.

2

Send Basic Details

Your chosen company name, director and shareholder details, and ID/address details for the PSC record. We check the name and pick the right SIC code with you.

3

We File at Companies House

We prepare and submit the incorporation, including the registered office arrangement. We keep you updated while Companies House processes it.

4

Receive Documents & Launch

You receive your certificate of incorporation and company documents digitally. Then we guide you through HMRC setup and a UK business account so you can start trading.

Honest timing: Companies House timelines vary with workload and with whether a name or detail needs review. Anyone who guarantees you an exact approval hour is guessing — we give you a realistic estimate for your case up front instead.

After Formation

Staying compliant — the yearly UK LTD checklist

Registering the company is step one. These recurring items keep it in good standing — and Extreme Filer can handle every one of them for you.

Confirmation Statement

At least once a year, Companies House must be told that your company details — directors, shareholders, PSC, SIC and registered office — are still correct, and changes reported when they happen.

Annual Accounts

Every LTD files accounts with Companies House each year, even if it has not traded. Filing late brings automatic penalties, so the deadline is tracked from day one.

Company Tax Return & HMRC

An active company files a company tax return with HMRC and pays any corporation tax due. You must also tell HMRC when the company starts (or stops) trading.

Registered Office & Records

Your registered office must stay valid and able to receive official post, and your statutory registers (directors, shareholders, PSC) must be kept up to date.

Changes & Amendments

New director, new shareholder, new address or a company name change — each change has its own Companies House filing. We prepare and file amendments for you.

Bookkeeping

Clean monthly books make accounts and tax returns simple instead of stressful. Our bookkeeping service keeps your UK company ready all year.

FAQ

UK LTD questions non-resident founders ask us

Can a non-resident register a UK LTD company?
Yes. A UK private limited company can be owned and directed by non-residents. Directors and shareholders do not need to live in the UK or hold UK citizenship. The company does need a registered office address in the UK, and we guide you on arranging one before the filing goes in.
What do I need to register a UK LTD?
A unique company name, a UK registered office address, at least one director, at least one shareholder, details of the people with significant control (PSC), and a SIC code describing what the business does. We check the name, help you choose the right SIC code and prepare the director, shareholder and PSC details correctly.
Do I need a UK address to form a UK LTD?
The company needs a registered office address in the UK — the official address where Companies House and HMRC send correspondence, which appears on the public record. Directors can live abroad. We explain the registered office options and guide you before filing.
How long does UK LTD formation take?
Companies House processes electronic incorporations in order and timelines vary with workload and with whether the name or details need review. Before you pay, we give you a clear, honest estimate for your case and keep you updated while the application is in progress.
What must I file every year for a UK LTD?
A confirmation statement with Companies House at least once a year, annual accounts with Companies House, and a company tax return with HMRC with any corporation tax paid. Director, shareholder, PSC and registered office details must be kept up to date. We track these deadlines and can handle the filings for you.
Can I open a UK business bank account with my LTD?
Yes, in practice many non-resident directors open business accounts with UK fintech providers and, in some cases, traditional banks, using their incorporation certificate and company details. Each provider runs its own eligibility checks — we guide you through the documents and application answers commonly asked for.
UK LTD or US LLC — which is better for me?
A UK LTD suits founders who want a UK/European-facing presence, a UK company number and GBP banking routes. A US LLC suits founders selling mainly to US customers who need Stripe, PayPal and US banking. Tell us where your customers are on WhatsApp and we will recommend honestly — we form both.
Do I need to register for VAT or corporation tax right away?
You must tell HMRC when the company starts trading so corporation tax is set up correctly. VAT registration is only compulsory once taxable turnover passes the current UK VAT threshold, though some businesses register voluntarily earlier. We explain what applies to your situation — and we do not push registrations you do not need.
