UK Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), A Limited Liability Partnership ('LLP') is similar to an ordinary partnership in that a number of individuals or limited companies, known as the "Members", share in the risks, costs, responsibilities and profits of the business. The difference is that liability is limited to the amount of money they have invested in the business and to any personal guarantees they have given to raise finance. This means that members have some protection if the business runs into trouble. An LLP does not have a share capital or a set of Memorandum and Articles of Association. Instead, the Members of the LLP can choose to put in place a LLP Agreement that binds all the members. This document is not required to be sent to Companies House and is therefore not available to the public. Global Business Incorp Limited can produce a LLP Agreement tailored to your requirements. LLPs are commonly used by professional practices such as accountants, lawyers, architects, etc.

UK Public Limited Company (PLC) Public Limited Company formation in the UK is one of the most prestigious entities that one can have; the company can offer its shares for sale to the public through floatation on the London Stock Exchange or the Alternative Investments Market. A PLC must have at least £ 50,000 worth of share capital; at least 25% must have been paid for. Global Business Incorp Limited can help with the formation of UK PLC company formation. A qualified secretary must be appointed as a requirement of PLC formation.

UK Agency: UK Agency companies are frequently used on behalf of an undisclosed offshore company. By using a UK registered company, which agrees to transact business on behalf of an offshore company, a structure is available which gives an on-shore profile yet allows the benefits of offshore taxation. This structure is ideal for use as a European trading structure where the receipt of invoices from an offshore company would not be acceptable. Global Business Incorp Limited can provide such a structure, which has been accepted by the UK tax authorities, in English law.

UK Branch: Many organisations want to expand into the UK but for many reasons may not want to establish an incorporated entity in the UK.

Company Renewal: Every company should fulfil their annual statutory requirements. A company must deliver an annual return to Companies House within 28 days of its made-up date.

The made-up date is usually the anniversary of: The incorporation of the company; or The made-up date of the previous annual return registered at Companies House. Global Business Incorp Limited ca assist you in filing your annual return

Change Of name: Global Business Incorp Limited can help you draft your special resolution for the change of name of your company and amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Company dissolution and restoration: Company Dissolution is the simplest and cheapest method for a closing down a private limited company which is not trading is to apply for it to be struck off the register of companies. This is quite a common situation that usually arises when directors of the company want to retire or when the owner/sole director wishes to return to PAYE or self employed status. If you have a limited company that is undergoing insolvency proceedings, or that is likely to do so, cannot apply. A company can be restored to the companies House Register. The company or any member or creditor may apply to the court for restoration if the company was struck off at the instigation of the Registrar of Companies. If the company was struck off on the application for voluntary striking off by the Directors, any of the parties who must be notified of the application for voluntary striking off, e.g. the members, existing and prospective creditors, employees, managers or trustees of any employee pension fund and any Directors who have not signed the application form for striking off, may apply to the court for restoration.

Certificate of Goodstanding: A Certificate of Good Standing is usually issued by the Registrar of Companies stating that your company is professional and organised with a good standing certificate which have filed all the necessary documents and forms in order to meet statutory disclosure requirements. Whilst most companies generally do not require a certificate of good standing, those whose directors are largely based overseas and who wish to carry out business activities in those countries are frequently requested to produce one. If a company is late in filing its annual return, or has failed to update information about the company's constitution, ownership, or control it will not qualify for a good standing certificate until these issues are rectified.

Bookkeeping: If you are new to business, keeping books and accounting can be a daunting prospect.

Equally, if you are an established company, outsourcing your Book Keeping and Accounting requirements will almost always make sound economic sense.

These accounts are then used to calculate the amount of tax payable, based on profits and other forms of income. These accounts are important from an individual's perspective as well. Not only do they provide you with information about the profitability and stability of your business, they can also help when requesting finance, both personally and for the business.

Global Business Incorp Ltd can prepare accounts for dormant companies, non trading companies and trading companies.

The full set of Accounts are due to be filed with HM Revenue and Customs 12 months after the accounting period ends and tax returns must be filed and paid 9 months and 1 day after the annual accounting period ends. The abbreviated set of Accounts is due to be filed with Companies House 9 months after the accounting period ends. Your UK Company may qualify as a "small company" in respect to the preparation of its financial statement/accounts based on the following exemption rules: your company turnover is less than £ 6.5 million and your net assets are less than £ 3.26 million or you have less than 50 employees. If any 2 of the 3 conditions is exceeded then your company accounts will need auditing. Global Business Incorp Limited can provide accountancy services to fulfil your statutory requirements after incorporation of your UK Company.

If your UK company turnover exceeds £ 73,000 it is your statutory requirement to apply for a VAT number. Although you may always apply voluntarily for this even if your company does not reach this limit. After the VAT application has been submitted to HM Revenue and Customs, the process takes between 6-12 weeks to get a definite answer from the VAT office. Once your application is successful your company will be issued with a VAT certificate. In most cases VAT returns are submitted to HM Revenue and Customs on a quarterly basis 1 month after the quarter.

Payroll (PAYE): Before your company has any employees you will have to register with HM Revenue and Customs as an employer and obtain your PAYE reference number. PAYE liability is paid 20 days after the month end. An annual return must be submitted to HM Revenues and Customs every year. Global Business Incorp Limited can provide your company with complete payroll services.
