How many shareholders are required to register a UK company? Are there any restrictions on the nationality or legal domicile of the shareholders?

Registering a UK company requires at least one shareholder. This can be a natural person or a company. The UK government does not have any requirements or restrictions on the nationality or legal domicile of shareholders of UK companies.

Does the UK government have special rules on company names?

The name of the company may be in any language but must be expressed in the word “Rotary”. Its limited liability status must be reflected at the end of the company name by the word “Limited” or its abbreviation “LTD”. The name of the company must not include the word “Standard” and there are conditions on the use of the words “bank”,“association”,“university”,“charity”, “architect” and related words.

Do I need a capital verification to register a UK company?

No capital verification is required to register a UK company.

Does the UK government have any nationality or status restrictions on foreigners registering companies locally?

The UK government does not impose any nationality or identity restrictions on foreigners registering UK companies and does not require EU residency as a nominee director.

After a UK company is incorporated, how does it receive its Corporation Tax reference (UTR)?

Once incorporation is complete, HMRC automatically issues a Corporation Tax Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) and posts it to the company's registered office address by letter after registration. The company must wait for this letter to obtain its CT reference.

What proof of address from a Chinese client is acceptable under updated AML requirements?

Following updated anti-money-laundering (AML) requirements, some law firms and partner banks will only accept a manually stamped bank certificate (个人银行信息综合凭证, personal comprehensive bank information voucher) that bears a verification code and is issued by the client's local bank branch as proof of address for Chinese clients. Other address documents may be rejected as unverifiable.

Do UK company directors and persons with significant control (UBOs) need to verify their identity, and how?

Yes. Under the UK Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, all company directors and people with significant control (UBOs) must verify their identity with Companies House via GOV.UK One Login, obtain a personal Companies House identity code, and provide that code to their service provider. Identity verification is being rolled out as a mandatory requirement.
