The United Kingdom stands out as a dynamic and business-oriented destination, boasting a longstanding reputation for its well-established legal framework conducive to business activities. Recognized historically for its openness to commerce, the UK offers a diversified economy, providing a launching pad for investors to tap into both domestic and global markets.
Ranked seventh among 190 economies worldwide in the World Bank's 'Ease of Doing Business' survey, the UK is commended for its simplicity and affordability in starting new ventures. Its favorable tax regime, efficient commercial court system, and streamlined import-export processes contribute to its attractiveness for business endeavors.
TIncorporating a company in the UK falls under the governance of the Companies Act 2006, offering various structures such as Private Companies Limited by Shares, Public Limited Companies (PLCs), and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), among others. The most commonly utilized structure for international trade is the private company limited by shares, enabling engagement in a wide range of legal business activities.
Notably, the UK imposes no restrictions on foreign ownership or management of companies, allowing non-residents to establish businesses without the need for physical presence in the country. With expertise in company formation, international taxation, accounting, and immigration services, our London-based team stands ready to assist and navigate you through the incorporation process and requisite procedures.
In March 2015, the Companies Act 2006 underwent significant modification with the enactment
of the Small Business, Enterprise, and Employment Act. This pivotal legislation introduced the
concept of the register of people with significant control (PSC register), reshaping the landscape
of corporate governance within the United Kingdom. As of 6 April 2016, all UK companies and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) were mandated to establish and maintain PSC registers,
marking a crucial step towards fostering transparency and accountability in business operations.
A person with significant control (PSC) is an individual meeting one or more of the following
criteria:
The information recorded in the PSC register must be confirmed by the PSC and subsequently filed with Companies House, where it becomes part of the public record and is retained indefinitely. This information encompasses vital details such as the PSC's name, date of birth, nationality, country of residence, service address, and the date of assuming significant control over the company. Notably, the PSC's usual residential address is withheld from public disclosure to safeguard privacy and security.
Furthermore, any constraints on divulging the PSC's information, such as applications for confidentiality, are duly documented within the register, ensuring compliance with legal stipulations. By instituting the PSC register, the UK government underscores its commitment to promoting corporate transparency, combating illicit activities, and upholding the integrity of the business ecosystem. This pivotal initiative empowers stakeholders, investors, and regulatory bodies with comprehensive insights into the ownership structure and decision-making dynamics within companies, thereby fostering trust and confidence in the corporate sector.
Establishing a UK company alongside a banking solution presents challenges due to the stringent requirements and formalities imposed by banks. The account opening process typically involves submitting personal and company information, along with a detailed business description, for the bank's consideration. Some banks may even require a personal interview with the company's beneficial owner or director as part of the procedure.
Contrary to common belief, the choice of banking jurisdiction is not limited to the country of incorporation. Non-residents are not restricted from opening a UK business bank account, and companies have the flexibility to open accounts with banks globally. For example, a company formed in London can opt to open its account in Cyprus, Hong Kong, or any other jurisdiction.
We offer assistance in UK company formation for non-residents, coupled with tailored banking solutions. Depending on your business needs, we can recommend the most suitable bank and provide guidance throughout the account opening process.
