Setting Up a UK Company for Dropshipping Businesses
Set up a UK dropshipping company with the right VAT and supplier setup.
Dropshippers use a UK company to run ads on major platforms, use UK payment processors and build customer trust without holding stock.
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 dropshipping businesses, here is how we get you trading:
- Register your UK limited company — usually within 24 hours, with directors, shareholders and share structure set up correctly.
- Get a UK registered office — a UK address for Companies House and HMRC, keeping your home address private.
- Register for VAT and an EORI where needed — so you can import stock and reclaim or charge VAT correctly (see below).
- 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 Dropshipping Businesses
VAT. VAT on dropshipping depends on where goods ship from and to. Goods sent from outside the UK to UK customers can trigger import VAT and marketplace/OMP rules; we advise on when to register and how to charge VAT correctly.
Corporation tax. Corporation tax applies to your margin; clean records are essential. You take money out as a mix of salary and dividends, and we plan this efficiently.
Key considerations for dropshipping businesses
- Place-of-supply and import VAT rules
- Ad account and processor compliance
- Supplier and refund records
