Company Formation (Limited Company) in England
Start your business in the UK safely, with Portuguese support and no hassle.
What is a Limited Company in England?
A Limited Company in England is a business registered with Companies House, the official UK government body. It is a business structure that offers limited liability to the owner — meaning personal assets are separate from the company’s obligations.
This type of company is ideal for those who want to operate professionally, issue invoices, hire employees, or grow their business with more security.
The Limited Company is the UK equivalent of a registered company in other countries, with the advantages of credibility, tax benefits, and legal separation between personal and business assets.
Who should set up a Limited Company in England?
Registering an LTD company is the best option for:
- Individuals wanting to run a formal business in the UK
- Professionals in technology, construction, consultancy, marketing, and more
- Service providers with higher turnover seeking to reduce tax legally
- People wanting to separate personal and business affairs
- Those aiming to build trust with clients
- Businesses planning to grow and hire staff
What does setting up a Limited Company in England involve?
Forming an LTD requires several formal and administrative steps:
- Choosing a company name (and checking availability)
- Complete registration with Companies House
- Defining the business activity (SIC code)
- Appointing directors and shareholders
- Issuing the Certificate of Incorporation
- Registering with HMRC for taxes (Corporation Tax and VAT if applicable)
- Guidance on accounting and tax obligations
- Possible opening of a UK business bank account
After registration, the company must submit annual reports and tax returns, making ongoing accountant support essential.
