Insights

Registering a company is a straightforward process, with the option for fast online submission of information and subsequent monitoring and management of the company through a personal account without the need for direct communication with the registering authority.

We will now explain what information needs to be verified and prepared before deciding to register an LTD company in England.

COMPANY NAME

The name of an English Private Limited Company ends with the prefix 'Limited' or 'Ltd.'

The LTD company name must be unique and not contain prohibited words (we can provide a list of prohibited words upon request).The name must also not be associated with the government or local authorities.

SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) Codes

When registering the company, it is necessary to determine one or several types of company activities and select the corresponding codes on the Companies House website.

Subsequent changes in the company's activities and updates to the codes are also available online. This information should be updated annually when submitting the Confirmation Statement.

COMPANY STRUCTURE

Director

According to the Companies Act 2006, an English company must have at least one director. If a company appoints multiple directors, at least one of them must be an individual. A director can be appointed from any country's residents.

Secretary

Private companies in England are not required to appoint a secretary.

Shareholders

An English private company must have at least one shareholder. Shareholders can be individuals or legal entities, residents or non-residents.

Beneficial Owner

In late 2016, Companies House and the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy published official guidance explaining the procedures for maintaining Registers of People with Significant Control (PSC Registers) by companies.

An individual with significant control includes a person who owns more than 25% of the company's shares, an individual with more than 25% of voting rights in the company, an individual with the right to appoint or remove the majority of the company's board of directors, and an individual who has or effectively exercises significant influence or control over the company.

The PSC Register contains the owner's personal information: full name, date of birth, nationality, address and appointment date. This data is available for viewing on the Companies House website.

Share Capital

The minimum amount of share capital is one share.

Registered address

Every company in England is required to have a registered address where records of director and shareholder meetings are kept, and this address is used by government authorities for sending letters and notifications.
