Operating as a limited company often gives suppliers and customers a sense of confidence in a business. Quite often, larger organisations in particular will prefer not to deal with non-limited businesses. The formation of a limited company is one simple and low cost method to protect a business name. Whilst this does not in itself give any rights to use of the business name, many clients incorporate companies in anticipation of future development of new businesses or in order to protect the limited company name of an existing non-limited business for the future.

If you're thinking about starting a new life abroad and forming a company to start your own small or home based business this article with provide you with some tips to set you on the right track to small business start-up success. There are a number of different ways in which an overseas company may set up a business presence in the UK.

Company Formations Requirements: Generally speaking, there are no restrictions on foreign ownership or control of a UK company or other business. However, there are a number of regulations and requirements which potentially impact the acquisition of a business. For example, the acquisition of a company whose shares are quoted will require compliance with the relevant regulations and codes on mergers and takeovers. Mergers and acquisitions which may have the effect of restricting competition will be subject to the various controls imposed by UK and European Union competition law. In all cases, the merger or acquisition will require detailed legal documentation.
If you live overseas, you must decide whether your British, Scottish or Irish company will trade it its own right (and pay tax in the United Kingdom) or if you will trade through a branch of the company registered in your country of residence. If you decide to open a local branch, you are likely to need special documents to satisfy the authorities that your company has a valid, current registration. In most cases, a registration authority will require a Good Standing Certificate showing your name as Director and Apostille to confirm the certificate's legal validity.
All UK registered companies are legally required to have a UK registered office address. It is the address of a company to which Companies House letters and reminders will be sent. The registered office address can be anywhere in England and Wales (or Scotland if your company is registered there). The registered office address must always be an effective address for delivering documents to the company, and to avoid delays it is important that all correspondence sent to this address is dealt with promptly. For UK companies owned by overseas residents it is a legal requirement to have a UK registered address where official government mail can sent.
