With Corpenza's efficient formation service, a standard UK limited company can be incorporated within 24 hours. Our premium service can even complete the process on the same day. After incorporation, you'll receive your company registration documents, including the Certificate of Incorporation, within 3-5 business days.

To form a company in the UK, you'll need to provide proof of identity (passport or national ID) and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement) for all directors and shareholders. You'll also need to decide on a company name, registered office address, and details of your company structure including share allocation. Corpenza handles all the paperwork with Companies House on your behalf.

Corpenza offers comprehensive accounting services for UK companies including bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll management, annual accounts preparation, and tax planning. Our qualified accountants ensure your company remains compliant with all UK financial regulations while maximizing tax efficiency. We also provide a dedicated accounting dashboard for real-time financial insights.

UK companies must file annual accounts with Companies House, submit an annual confirmation statement, maintain statutory registers, and comply with relevant tax obligations including Corporation Tax returns and VAT if applicable. Directors also have legal responsibilities to act in the company's best interests. Corpenza offers ongoing compliance services to ensure your company meets all these requirements.

UK companies are subject to Corporation Tax on their profits (currently 25% for companies with profits over £250,000, and 19% for companies with profits under £50,000). Companies may also need to register for VAT if their taxable turnover exceeds the threshold (currently £85,000). Additionally, if you employ staff, you'll need to operate PAYE for income tax and National Insurance contributions. Corpenza's accounting team can help optimize your tax position while ensuring full compliance.

Yes, you can open a UK business bank account for your company. While traditional banks may require in-person meetings, there are now several digital banking options available for UK companies, even those with non-resident directors. Our premium formation package includes assistance with setting up a UK business bank account, making the process much smoother and faster.
