An LLP has a more flexible structure compared to a limited company while still remaining benefits of being a body corporate. Profits sharing among members of an LLP can be varied and the members’ agreement is not required to be registered with the Companies House. In addition, it’s not mandatory for a limited company to hold an annual general meeting.
Step 1: Choose the company name
Step 2: File Certificate of Formation to the UK Registrar of Companies
Step 3: Pay the corporation tax
Step 4: Set up a business account
Note: A UK private company limited by share doesn't need any share capital or shareholders
Individual members of an LLP are subject to tax for its share of profits.
The current tax rate applied to a limited company in the UK is 19%. The tax is imposed on the company’s total income, which includes both domestic and international income. A limited company can be eligible for the UK’s network of double tax treaties to avoid double taxation on foreign-earned income.
The following conditions for naming an LLP need to be satisfied:
- Ends with words of “limited liability partnership” or “LLP”;
- Doesn’t contain sensitive or restricted words by the regulations;
- Doesn’t imply a connection to government or local authority;
- Doesn’t include words that constitute an offence;
- Avoid using certain characters, signs, symbols and punctuation;
- Must not be the same or identical to the names of existing companies.
- At least two designated members;
- A local registered address to receive notice of local authorities.
It will depend on the type of business entity. Our Basic packages for a limited company and a limited liability partnership will cost you respectively US$549 and $499. They cover everything you need to set up a business in the UK.
We are capable of registering a UK company in just 1-3 working days. Our packages are designed to meet all of your needs, with no hidden fee. Plus, our employees guarantee fast and responsive communication.
