Setting Up a UK Company for Accounting & Bookkeeping Outsourcing

Pakistani accounting teams serving UK practices and businesses use a UK company for credibility and GBP billing.

How to set up your UK company

The process is the same wherever you are in Pakistan, and you never need to travel to the UK. As accounting & bookkeeping outsourcing, here is how we get you trading:

1. Register your UK limited company — usually within 24 hours, with directors, shareholders and share structure set up correctly.
2. Get a UK registered office — a UK address for Companies House and HMRC, keeping your home address private.
3. Register for VAT and an EORI where needed — so you can import stock and reclaim or charge VAT correctly (see below).
4. Open a UK business bank account — so your company can receive payments and pay suppliers in GBP.

Banking & getting paid

A UK business or fintech account (such as Wise or Revolut Business) lets your company invoice clients, receive marketplace payouts and pay suppliers in pounds — usually without visiting the UK. We guide non-resident directors through the options and help prepare your documents.

VAT & tax for Accounting & Bookkeeping Outsourcing

VAT. Bookkeeping/accounting services to UK clients carry 20% VAT once registered; to overseas businesses, reverse charge. Client-money and data-protection rules apply.
