How can I receive company documents if I’m not a UK resident?

Even if you are not a UK resident, receiving your company documents is simple. HFA can deliver the documents to you electronically or by mail to any address worldwide. Additionally, you can use the address of a relative or friend residing in the UK, or opt for UK virtual address services, which provide an official address for receiving all legal documents on a regular basis.

What are the options for opening a bank account for my company in the UK?

You can use electronic banks that offer services to foreign companies under specific conditions. These are a convenient and easy option for companies that don’t want to be physically present in the UK to open an account. Traditional banking options can be more complex

Can a UK business license be used to set up an online payment gateway?

Yes, a UK company license can be used to open an online payment gateway. In fact, setting up a company in the UK is an excellent choice for this purpose, thanks to reasonable setup costs and the relative ease of managing online businesses.

What if my company is inactive? Are there any taxes?

No, if the company is dormant and has no financial activity during a specified period, you can submit the necessary documents to prove that no financial transactions occurred, and there will be no taxes due.

What documents are required to register a company?

To register a company, you will need:

  • A company name
  • A registered address in the UK
  • Director and shareholder details and their personal identification
  • A “Memorandum of Association” and “Articles of Association”

HFA can help you collect and prepare all the necessary documents for registering your company quickly and easily.

Do I need to register for VAT?

You must register for VAT if your company’s annual sales exceed £85,000. If your sales are below this amount, registration is not mandatory, but it may still be beneficial in some cases.

When do I need to submit tax returns?

Companies must submit their annual tax returns 12 months after the end of the financial year. Additionally, company accounts must be submitted to Companies House within 12 months of the financial year’s end.
