Entrepreneurs looking to establish a UK business presence
UK company formation is the process of legally registering a new limited company with Companies House, the UK's official registrar of companies.
Once incorporated, your company becomes a separate legal entity from its owners. The company can enter into contracts, hold assets, operate a business, and have its own legal responsibilities. During formation, important information about the company, its directors, shareholders and people with significant control (PSCs) is submitted to Companies House.
Company Name
Choose a suitable name for your UK limited company and check its availability before submitting the formation application.
Directors & Shareholders
Provide the required information for the company's directors, shareholders and PSCs.
Registered Office Address
A UK limited company needs an appropriate registered office address in the UK.
Share Structure
Set the initial share allocation and ownership structure of the company.
Business Activity
Select the appropriate SIC code to describe the company's intended business activities.
Company Documents
Once the company is incorporated, you receive the official documents associated with the formation.
Our formation service is designed to make the process straightforward, especially for entrepreneurs who are unfamiliar with UK company registration.
Depending on the package you select, the service can include:
-
UK limited company registration

Companies House incorporation

Proposed company name

Registered office address
-
Director details
-
Shareholder details
-
PSC details
-
Share structure
-
Nature of the business
-

Required identification and verification information
We will guide you through the information required for your particular setup before the application is submitted.
1. Tell Us About Your Business
We first understand what you want to use the UK company for, such as Amazon, e-commerce, consulting, services or another business activity.
2. Provide Your Information
You provide the required company, director, shareholder and identification details.
3. Prepare the Formation
We review the information and prepare the company formation application with the required details.
4. Submit for Incorporation
The application is submitted for registration with Companies House.
5. Receive Your Company Documents
After successful incorporation, you receive your company registration details and formation documents.
6. Start Setting Up Your Business
Once your company is incorporated, you can move forward with the next steps for your business, such as HMRC registrations, business banking, payment providers and marketplace accounts, depending on your requirements.
Simple Process
You do not need to understand every Companies House requirement yourself. We guide you through the information and steps involved.
Built for Online Businesses
We understand the requirements that online entrepreneurs and e-commerce sellers may have when setting up a UK company.
Support for Non-UK Residents
You can explore UK company formation even if you are based outside the UK. We help international entrepreneurs understand the setup requirements.
One-to-One Guidance
Instead of leaving you to figure everything out yourself, you can get direct assistance throughout the formation process.
Beyond Company Formation
If you need additional support after incorporation, we can also help you understand the next steps, including HMRC registrations, business banking and other business setup requirements.
If you are planning to sell on Amazon UK or build an Amazon-based business, having a properly structured company can be an important part of your business setup.
ReinstaFix has specific experience working with Amazon sellers and understands that company formation is only one part of establishing an e-commerce business.
We can help you understand how your UK company setup fits into your wider Amazon business structure.
Important: Forming a UK company does not automatically guarantee approval for an Amazon Seller account, bank account, payment processor or any other third-party service. Each platform has its own eligibility and verification requirements.
After successful incorporation, the company will have official formation documents and records.
Depending on the company setup and service selected, these can include:
-
Certificate of Incorporation — confirms that the company has been incorporated.
-
Memorandum of Association — records the original subscribers who formed the company.
-
Articles of Association — sets out the company's internal rules and governance.
-
Share Certificates — evidence of share ownership.
You may also receive your company registration information and other relevant documents associated with your formation package.
No, not necessarily.
A UK limited company can have directors and shareholders who live outside the UK. However, there are specific requirements surrounding the company's registered office and other company information.
If you are a non-UK resident, we can explain the requirements applicable to your proposed company before you proceed.
The time required depends on the information provided and the processing of the incorporation application.
Once all required information is complete and ready for submission, Companies House processing can be relatively quick, but processing times can vary.
We do not promise a specific incorporation time because the final processing is subject to Companies House and any applicable verification requirements.
Company incorporation is the beginning of your business setup, not necessarily the end.
Depending on your business, you may need to consider:
-
Corporation Tax registration
-
VAT registration
-
PAYE registration
-
Business banking
-
Payment processors
-
Accounting and bookkeeping
-
Registered office and business address requirements
-
Annual confirmation statement
-
Annual accounts
-
Amazon or other marketplace requirements
-
Not every company will need all of these services. The requirements depend on your business activities and circumstances.
We can provide guidance and assistance with the process of applying for a UK business bank account.
However, the final decision to approve an account is made by the bank or financial institution. Company formation does not guarantee that a particular bank or financial service provider will approve your application.

UK LTD FORMATION FAQs
❓ Q1: What is a UK LTD?
✅ A: A UK LTD, or private limited company, is a company registered under UK company law. It is a separate legal entity from its owners and has its own legal responsibilities.
❓ Q2: Can a non-UK resident form a UK company?
✅ A: Yes. Non-UK residents can generally form and own a UK limited company, subject to applicable requirements.
❓ Q3: Do I need a UK address?
✅ A: A UK limited company needs a registered office address in the appropriate UK jurisdiction. If you do not have a suitable address, ask us about the registered office options available with our service.
❓ Q4: Can I use my UK company for Amazon?
✅ A: A UK company can be used as part of an Amazon business structure, but Amazon has its own account registration, identity verification and business verification requirements. Company formation alone does not guarantee Amazon account approval.

❓ Q8: Can I form a UK company if I live in Pakistan?
✅ A: Yes, living in Pakistan does not by itself prevent you from forming a UK limited company. You will still need to meet the applicable UK company formation and verification requirements.
❓ Q9: Can I form a UK company for an Amazon wholesale business?
✅ A: Yes. Many entrepreneurs use UK companies as part of their e-commerce and Amazon business structures. Your company formation should reflect the actual nature of your business, and separate Amazon requirements will still apply.
❓ Q10: How much does UK company formation cost?
✅ A: The cost depends on the formation package and any additional services you require, such as a registered office address, business address or post-incorporation support.
