Choose an appropriate UK structure, prepare incorporation documents and register your company with Companies House. We also support Corporation Tax registration, UTR setup and the practical post-incorporation actions needed to begin trading.

Regulatory Support

Receive coordinated support for commercial documentation, licensing and permit applications, regulatory registrations and liaison with relevant authorities. Where legal admission is required, work is delivered through qualified local counsel.

Payroll Processing

Build a compliant payroll process for employees through PAYE, Real Time Information submissions, National Insurance contributions and required employee documents such as P45s, P60s and P11Ds.

Accounting Bookkeeping

Keep financial records organised through transaction recording, reconciliations, payables and receivables management, month-end close, management reporting and statutory accounts preparation on your chosen platform.

Corporate Governance

Maintain statutory registers, document board and shareholder decisions, manage director or share changes, and complete annual Companies House filings including the Confirmation Statement.
