About United Kingdom

The United Kingdom combines global prestige with the fastest incorporation in Europe — a Companies House registration can complete in under 24 hours. A UK Ltd is trusted by marketplaces and clients worldwide, backed by 130+ double-tax treaties and a transparent, common-law legal system that international founders understand. The Companies Act 2006 sets no residency requirement for directors or shareholders — you can run a UK Ltd from anywhere — though every director must now complete identity verification under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, and the company needs a UK registered office address for official correspondence. Corporation tax runs on two tiers: a lower small-profits rate on annual profits under £50,000, a higher main rate above £250,000, with marginal relief tapering the rate in between — so most early-stage companies pay the lower rate. VAT registration only becomes mandatory once turnover crosses the current threshold, which most new companies won't hit in year one.
