Why set up an LTD in the UK?
International consultant or freelance
When business is mobile, customers are spread over several countries, and the structure needs to remain legible and credible.
Digital services and e-commerce
When you're looking for a clear separation between business, billing, cash flow and legal framework.
Heritage or multi-country structuring
When LTD is part of a larger architecture and must be arbitrated with other jurisdictions.
A project that must remain bankable and operable
When the readability of the file, the coherence of the flows and the documentation count as much as the creation itself.
Point of attention: the LTD is not an automatic choice. Depending on your tax residence, your actual activity and your level of substance, a Portuguese LDA, a French structure or another vehicle may be more appropriate. The choice must be made before the company is set up.

* The right choice depends on your tax residence, the nature of the activity, the flows and the real substance. The table is intended to help you decide, not to promise an automatic advantage.
You have an idea. Or a conviction.
My role: to check that it holds up.
Most people who come here already have a specific idea. They want a LTD. They've compared options, read content, sometimes even made up their minds.
It's not a problem. In fact, it's a good place to start.
Our job is not to sell you a dream or to artificially slow you down. It's to look at your real situation: tax residence, nature of the business, financial flows, bank, substance, and to check that the LTD remains coherent over time.
A structure created without prior validation may seem simple at first, then become costly to correct. This is precisely what the free exchange is designed to avoid.
For 3 months after creation, You have a direct contact. Not a form. Not an opaque deadline. Someone who knows your case and responds.

Frequently asked questions about setting up an LTD in England
Can I set up an LTD in England without living in the UK?
Yes, depending on your situation, but you need to check your tax residence, effective management and the coherence of the set-up before you set up.
How long does it take to set up an LTD?
Once the file has been validated, the creation can be processed rapidly. How long this takes depends above all on the quality of the information provided and the necessary checks.
Is an LTD always more advantageous than a French or Portuguese structure?
No. The right choice depends on your tax residence, your activity, your flows and the level of substance required.
Why make a preliminary exchange before creating?
Because a poorly arbitrated creation can cost much more to correct than to validate upstream.
