UK Company Formation from India

Companies House Ltd plus HMRC and FEMA — so incorporation is not a dead end at the bank

“Register a UK limited company from India” is easy to click and hard to finish. Directors, PSC, banking KYC, corporation tax, VAT, PAYE, and FEMA funding each sit on separate clocks.

Use this guide to scope the India-ready file, then open the UK desk for formation and ongoing HMRC coordination.

Who this is for

  • Indian IT, consulting, and trading groups opening a UK Ltd subsidiary
  • Founders registering a UK company remotely with Indian directors
  • Finance teams funding UK share capital or intercompany loans from India
  • Exporters who also need India–UK CETA readiness alongside the entity

How we work

  1. 01

    Choose Ltd vs branch vs distributor

    A subsidiary Ltd, UK establishment, or third-party distributor changes filings, contracts, and India tax positions.

  2. 02

    Incorporate with honest PSC and IDV data

    Companies House identity and persons-with-significant-control rules are enforcement priorities — prepare documents before you file.

  3. 03

    Map HMRC and fund through FEMA

    Corporation tax, VAT, and PAYE calendars start after trading plans are clear; capital remittances need Form 15CA/CB and ODI papers.

What you receive

  • UK Ltd formation readiness pack (directors, PSC, SIC, office)
  • HMRC registration map (CT, VAT, PAYE as applicable)
  • Bank KYC document list
  • India FEMA ODI / Form 15CA-CB sequencing with international tax desk

Common questions

Often yes. Indian residents can typically be directors and shareholders subject to Companies House identity verification and your group’s compliance policy. Confirm current IDV rules with advisors.

No. VAT depends on HMRC rules and your taxable supplies. Map thresholds after you know the trading plan.

Usually yes for capital and many other outward remittances. Pair Companies House papers with FEMA ODI and Form 15CA/CB so the AD bank file matches the UK books.
