What are the requirements of a Private Company Limited by Shares in the UK?

At least one person to be a director, who can also sit as a shareholder and the optional secretary role.
A minimum of £1 as an initial capital amount on setup for the UK Limited Company
A registered office located in one of the three jurisdictions – England & Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland
Confirmation Statement filed each year as an update with regards to the structure of the company
Annual Accounts filed regardless of if the company has begun to trade or not

Euro Company Formations can assist with all aspects of registering a UK Limited Company. The company would be subject to a relatively competitive corporate tax rate of 20% (Northern Ireland may vary). While not providing one of the lowest rates in Europe, the relative low setup and running costs present the UK Limited Company as a strong option.
