Company Formation in the UK

BridgeWest provides company formation in the UK. Our assistance includes:
> drafting the Articles of Association (necessary for the company incorporation in UK). The Articles of Association of the British company can be signed through Power of Attorney (British law does not require a public notary; companies are registered online with Companies House).
> drafting all other documents required for setting up the company in the UK. The documents needed to open a company in the UK include: Specimen Signatures, Special Forms provided by the Company Registration Office in UK, passport copies etc.
> arranging Public Notary procedures (The procedures for setting up a company in UK do not require a notary, although a notary can certify foreign documents if needed);
> offering a Registered Office in UK for your company (if required). The registered office must be an “appropriate address” in the UK (not a PO Box, since 4 March 2024) and need not be the headquarters. The registered office will be public.
> setting up a bank account for your British company. This refers both to an optional initial account (no share capital deposit is legally required to open a company in the UK), as well as a current bank account after the company is formed.

> recommending an accountant in UK. Accountancy services are recommended for any new company set up in UK.
Our UK company formation agents can provide assistance for the formation of the following types of companies:
> Private Company Limited by Shares (Ltd) This type of British company can have one shareholder and one director (a company secretary has been optional since 2008) and must maintain a local address (office) and no capital needs to be paid up.
> Public Company Limited by Shares (Plc) This type of British company can have one or more shareholders, at least two directors + one qualified secretary and must maintain a local address and a minimum share capital of 50,000 GBP – only GBP 12,500 needs to be paid up in cash.
> British Branch, Subsidiary or Representative Office-Any foreign company is able to set up branch entities in UK. These can be set up as separate entities from the parent company (British companies having the foreign company as shareholder) or extensions of the parent-company in UK.
