The UK Ltd is one of the most recognised forms for international business: banks, payment providers and marketplaces understand it. A ready-made company with history helps when you need age for payment providers, tenders or partners.
What matters in the UK
- Companies House. Changes of directors and PSCs (people with significant control) must be filed within the deadline.
- Identity verification. Directors and PSCs verify their identity with Companies House.
- Filings. Annual accounts and a confirmation statement, even for a dormant company.
- Banks. A UK bank account passes to the new owner only after their KYC.
