Setting Up a UK Company for Video Editing & Animation

Video, motion and animation studios use a UK company to serve agencies and brands in the UK and worldwide.

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 video editing & animation, 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 Video Editing & Animation

VAT. Creative services to UK clients carry VAT once registered; overseas business clients are reverse charge. We advise on the right VAT position.

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

Key considerations for video editing & animation

• Services VAT and reverse charge
• Contractor vs studio model
• IP and usage rights
