Guide to Setting Up Business in the UK
Fasken Martineau Stringer Saul Bulletin
May 2008
The formation of a company in the UK is straightforward. No permission is required to establish a business presence, although there is some regulation of the use of business and trading names. All companies registered in the UK are required to register with Companies House and have to submit accounts and annual returns. Overseas companies establishing a branch or place of business in the UK must register and file annual accounts.
Companies operating in the financial, defence, oil exploration and other regulated areas may require licences or authorisation to conduct business.
