Speed

Operational the same day

Setting up a new UK Ltd from scratch still involves paperwork, compliance checks, and waiting for filings to clear. A shelf company is already registered and ready for immediate takeover — same-day delivery is standard.

No share capital

Unlike Nordic jurisdictions

UK Ltd companies have no minimum share capital requirement. A nominal £1 share is already in place — no need to deposit tens of thousands into a capital account. One flat fee and you’re done.

Open to everyone

Directors from any country

There is no UK residency requirement for directors. Foreign nationals from any country can serve as directors — no visa, work permit, or UK address needed. All you need is valid identification.

Requirements

What you need to know
about UK Ltd companies.

The UK has some of the simplest requirements for company formation in the world. Here’s what’s involved — we handle all of it for you.

No minimum share capital

Unlike Nordic jurisdictions that require NOK 30,000 or more, UK companies have no minimum capital requirement. A nominal £1 share is already in place.

No residency requirement

Foreign nationals from any country can serve as directors. No visa, work permit, or UK address needed. Valid identification (passport or national ID) is all that’s required.

PSC register

Persons with Significant Control — anyone holding 25% or more of shares must be registered with Companies House. We handle this filing as part of the takeover.

Registered office address

UK companies must have a registered office address in England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland. This can be rented affordably through our partner in the UK.

FAQ

Common questions
about UK shelf
companies.

What is a UK shelf company?
A UK shelf company is a Private Limited Company (Ltd) that has been pre-registered with Companies House but has never traded. It has a company number, a registered office, and standard articles of association — but no commercial history, no debts, and no tax obligations. It’s a clean, ready-to-use corporate entity.
Is it worth buying a shelf company?
Yes. A shelf company gives you a same-day operational entity with zero paperwork. The company is already registered, already has a company number, and comes with a complete document package. You avoid all formation delays and can start operating immediately.
Are there any hidden liabilities?
No. Every shelf company we sell is guaranteed clean — zero debt, zero tax obligations, no commercial history. The company has never been used for anything. We provide a full guarantee that the entity is free from any liabilities at the time of transfer.
Is share capital required?
No. Unlike Nordic jurisdictions where you must deposit kr 30,000 or more in share capital, UK Ltd companies have no minimum share capital requirement. A nominal £1 share is already in place — there is nothing additional to pay beyond the shelf company fee.
How quickly can I get the company?
Same-day takeover is standard. Once you’ve completed the order form and signed the documents via DocuSign, we register the changes with Companies House and deliver the complete document package — typically within the same business day.
Can foreign nationals be directors?
Yes. There is no UK residency requirement for directors. Foreign nationals from any country can serve as directors — no visa, work permit, or UK address is needed. The only requirement is valid identification (passport or national ID card).
What is the PSC register?
PSC stands for Persons with Significant Control. UK law requires that anyone holding 25% or more of the shares in a company, or who otherwise exercises significant control, must be registered with Companies House. We handle this filing as part of the company takeover process.
Do I need a UK address?
A UK registered office address is required by law. This can be rented through our partner in the United Kingdom. Directors themselves can be based anywhere in the world.
