Setting Up a UK Company for Textile & Fabric Exporters
Export Pakistani fabrics and textiles to the UK through a UK company.
Pakistan is one of the world's largest textile exporters. A UK company lets you supply UK garment makers, wholesalers and retailers directly, invoice in GBP and reclaim import VAT while building long-term trade relationships.
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 textile & fabric exporters, 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 Textile & Fabric Exporters
VAT. Fabrics and finished textiles are standard-rated at 20% VAT. Importing incurs import VAT and often customs duty, so you need an EORI. Once VAT-registered you reclaim import VAT and charge VAT on UK sales, and postponed VAT accounting eases cash flow.
Corporation tax. Corporation tax (19%-25%) applies to your trading profit. You take money out as a mix of salary and dividends, and we plan this efficiently.
Key considerations for textile & fabric exporters
- Customs duty and import VAT on textiles
- EORI and import/export documentation
- Certificates of origin via London Chamber
