How to Set Up a UK Company from Pakistan: A Step-by-Step Guide

28 Aug 2026 · 5 min read

Setting up a UK limited company from Pakistan is more straightforward than most people expect. You do not need to live in the UK, hold a visa, or travel — the whole process is completed online. Here is how it works.

Step 1: Choose your company name and structure

Most businesses register a private company limited by shares (Ltd). We check your preferred name is available at Companies House and advise on directors and shareholders.

Step 2: Provide your details and ID

You supply your name, a valid photo ID (passport or CNIC), an email address and a UK registered office address — which we provide, keeping your home address private.

Step 3: We register your company

We file your incorporation with Companies House. Most companies are approved within 24 hours, and you receive your certificate of incorporation and company number.

Step 4: Set up the essentials

Next we help you register for VAT if needed, obtain an EORI number for importing, and open a UK business or fintech bank account so your company can start trading.

Step 5: Stay compliant

Each year your company must file annual accounts, a confirmation statement and a corporation tax return. We handle all of this so you never miss a deadline.
