Our ENTERPRISE package includes a UK Professional Resident Director and/or Shareholder service, providing a high level of privacy protection. A company bank account at a major UK bank is also a key feature, with a UK registered office address together with mail-forwarding and full company secretarial & register maintenance services also being provided.
Our fees include up to 2 hours of post-incorporation advice and assistance either face-to-face, by telephone or by email, on understanding and using your company in terms of legal, accounting and tax requirements.
This package has been tailored to suit clients who are not UK-residents looking to establish UK-based management and control of their UK company, particularly those seeking enhanced asset protection, privacy and confidentiality with regard to their businesses and wealth management. Use of a UK Professional Resident Director and/or Shareholder can enable this.
Thanks to the professional relationship which we have built up over the years with our UK-based banking partners, our dedicated Bank Account Management Department handles the bank account opening procedure for our clients’ UK companies. (A face-to-face meeting with the client in London is required in all cases).*
Due to increasingly strict regulations, many major banks in the UK will prefer to open accounts for UK companies with UK-based officers, for example, in the case of businesses with certain commercial activities and levels of turnover. By using our UK Professional Resident Directors/Shareholder service, our international clients can fulfill that criterion.
Based on the fiduciary concept, professional Directors/Shareholders are frequently used in the UK and this practice is compliant with English law.
We have built up a long-term working relationship with all our UK-based professional Directors and Shareholders; they will never undertake any work on behalf of clients’ companies without prior written instructions.
The registered office and correspondence address for your company will be situated at our premium central London address and all mail received will be forwarded to you anywhere in the world. (Postage fees for forwarding mail are charged at standard UK postal rates plus 10 pence per item).
As a UK company you will be statutorily obliged to retain Company Registers in the UK. Our Full Company Secretarial Service covers this requirement, as well as the completion and filing of your Annual Return (an annual document confirming the details of addresses, directors, shareholders, business activities etc). We will also take care of basic administrational changes in your company structure, e.g. appointment and termination of director appointments.
UK Limited Companies are required by law to have at least one Director and one Shareholder.
The names of the Director(s) and Shareholder(s) are recorded by Companies House, the UK company register, and are available for public inspection. By using our UK Professional Resident Director/Shareholder Service their name will appear on record rather than yours.
This service is also of particular interest to clients seeking an additional level of asset protection, privacy and confidentiality with regard to their businesses and wealth management.
As mentioned previously, due to increasingly strict international banking and finance regulations, many major banks in the UK will prefer to open accounts for UK companies with UK-based officers. By using our UK Professional Resident Directors/Shareholder service, our international clients can fulfil that criterion and demonstrate UK-based management and control of the company.
Our professional Directors:
*Unlike some of our competitors, the fees we charge for acting as Director are the same as those charged for providing both a Director and a Shareholder, and we don’t charge additional fees for signing documents*
The account opening procedures of banks in the UK – as is true of the majority of banking and financial institutions worldwide - are increasingly strict, with many preferring to open accounts for UK companies with UK-based officers, for example, in the case of businesses with certain commercial activities and levels of turnover.
By using our UK Professional Resident Directors/Shareholder service, our international clients can comply with that requirement and demonstrate UK-based management and control of their company. (A face-to-face client meeting with the bank in London is required in all cases).

* Bank Account Applications - Please be advised that our bank introduction fee does not guarantee a successful opening of a bank account. We can only undertake to introduce you to the bank and assist you with the completion of the application forms and process. The final decision lies with the bank themselves as all banks have their own T&C's, ID requirements and opening criteria. It is entirely within the banks rights to accept or reject applications for accounts, and their prerogative as to whether they explain their reasons for rejecting an application.
If we have completed and submitted all the necessary paperwork for your bank account application, and the account application is rejected by the bank, we reserve the right to retain all fees paid in consideration of our time and attention spent on the application.
