UK desk · Company Formation
Most Indian groups use a private company limited by shares. Incorporation at Companies House is the start. After that, the file is an accurate PSC register, a Confirmation Statement, accounts on time, and a registered office that HMRC can use.
What we form and maintain
Private limited company
Directors, shareholders, share capital, SIC codes, and a UK registered office. Indian residents can be directors; banking and substance still need a practical plan.
Confirmation Statement and PSC
File the Confirmation Statement each year and keep Persons with Significant Control up to date when ownership or voting control changes.
Statutory accounts
Private companies generally file accounts at Companies House after the financial year-end. Micro-entity, small-company, and group-parent options change the pack — we scope this with the UK accountant.
Registered office and records
Statutory registers, accounting records, and a service address that HMRC and Companies House can use. A virtual office is not a substitute for proper books.
Formation pack we typically assemble
- Proposed name, SIC codes, and share capital
- Director and shareholder KYC
- PSC details that match the ownership story
- UK registered office and service address
- HMRC corporation-tax registration once activity starts

UK Company Formation FAQs
Yes. Indian residents can be directors. Banking, substance, and where the company is actually managed still matter for tax residence and permanent establishment. We map that before papers are filed.
Companies House needs a UK registered office that can receive official mail. A mail-forwarding address is not a substitute for accounting records, statutory registers, or HMRC correspondence. We scope a practical office package with the UK partner.
