UK BUSINESS SET UP

 

UK Business Set Up

From zero to one: setting up a company in the UK

The UK is one of the most important financial centers in the world. Companies from all over the world come to the UK to set up companies to enter the European market. In addition, the United Kingdom is a country that attaches great importance to the spirit of the contract and the law, and the funds invested in the United Kingdom can be effectively guaranteed. Since the establishment of a company in the UK involves many legal and tax issues, it is not easy for companies that have just entered the UK market. Our professional accounting team can use company secretarial services to help investors take root in the UK from scratch and register Office, completing registration with the Companies Registry and handling annual compliance, etc., so that you can devote yourself to business development.

Four major services to ensure company compliance and legality

1. Company secretarial services

We will handle the company's administrative affairs for you, ensuring that the company complies with relevant laws and regulations, including company registration and holding meetings of directors and shareholders.

2. Annual Compliance and Companies Registry Filing

After setting up a company in the UK, in order to ensure the legal operation of the company, the company needs to submit regular annual reports and financial statements in accordance with the regulations of the company registry. We can help clients complete these declarations to ensure that companies comply with the provisions of UK company law and avoid fines or other legal sanctions for non-compliance.

3.  Registered Office

Setting up a company in the UK requires providing a registered office address for receiving official mail and legal documents. We can provide clients with registered office addresses and assist with registered office related matters such as mail forwarding, deposit and update of company registration information

4. Employee Recruitment and Labor Regulations

After setting up a company in the UK, if you need to hire employees, you must understand the UK's labor laws and regulations, such as minimum wages, working hours regulations, holiday policies, social insurance and pensions, etc. There are many laws and regulations on labor in the UK. To protect the interests of employees, through our professional services, you can greatly reduce the problems caused by conflicts between labor and capital in the future.
