UK LTD / START EXPORTING

Export Through a UK Ltd Company

For the first export transactions you need an English company, a contract, an invoice and a company bank account in the required currency. A UK Ltd is not an offshore company.

Start Exporting Through UK Ltd

First, a new or ready-made UK Ltd is selected. A new company is suitable for a fast start; if an earlier incorporation date is important for the project, a vintage Ltd incorporated 10–15 years ago can be purchased.

Then the bank account is selected according to the countries of the buyers. For EUR — European IBAN/SEPA, for PLN — a Polish bank, for CZK — a Czech bank, for GBP — British account details. If the director lives in one of these countries, a local bank is often especially convenient for everyday work.

Commercial documents are then prepared: the offer, contract and invoice in the name of the UK Ltd. The website and correspondence use the full legal company name, company number and corporate email.

When new markets appear, a second bank account, merchant account, new domain or certified documents can be added to the main UK Ltd.
