Setting Up a UK Company for Leather Goods & Accessories

Sialkot and Karachi leather goods have a strong UK market. A UK company lets you import, brand and sell wholesale or direct.

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 leather goods & accessories, 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 Leather Goods & Accessories

VAT. Standard-rated at 20% VAT. Import VAT and customs duty apply on shipments; an EORI is needed. Once registered you reclaim import VAT and charge VAT on UK sales.

Corporation tax. Corporation tax on trading profit. You take money out as a mix of salary and dividends, and we plan this efficiently.
