How to Choose a UK Ltd Company
A new UK Ltd is suitable when a new name and a clean start for the project are important. A ready-made shelf company is already registered and is transferred to you. A vintage UK Ltd keeps its original incorporation date — for companies 10–15 years old this means approximately 2011–2016 incorporation dates.
Are there still offshore companies in the United Kingdom? Yes, and this is not about British Overseas Territories such as the British Virgin Islands or Anguilla — they are also part of the United Kingdom. Usually these are English companies that can officially pay no Corporate Tax. This possibility still exists.
Before buying a vintage company, its company number, incorporation date and filing history can be viewed at Companies House. After the share transfer, you receive a Stock Transfer Form, updated register of members and share certificate.
For a VIP or separate large project, a company with capital from £1,000,000 can be registered or selected. The UK Ltd documents show the statement of capital with the number of shares, nominal value and total amount.
After selecting the company, the bank accounts are defined immediately: the United Kingdom, Europe, Switzerland, Singapore or Hong Kong — according to the currencies and countries of the real payments.
