Setting Up a UK Company for Print-on-Demand Sellers

Print-on-demand sellers use a UK company to access Printful, Printify, Etsy, Amazon and Shopify as a UK business, with proper VAT and payments.

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 print-on-demand sellers, 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 Print-on-Demand Sellers

VAT. Standard-rated products carry 20% VAT once registered; printed books/art may differ. Where your POD supplier is overseas, place-of-supply and import rules apply — we set this up correctly.

Corporation tax. Corporation tax on profit; low overheads make structure simple. You take money out as a mix of salary and dividends, and we plan this efficiently.

Key considerations for print-on-demand sellers

• POD supplier location and VAT
• Design/IP considerations
• Multi-channel sales records
